Better Call Shammas
This was the first auto accident I was involved in. Michael worked tirelessly on my case, even when I was hesitant throughout whole process. He never gave up, even when I had a downfall and felt like giving up. It has been a pleasure working with Michael. I ended up with a great settlement.

Great Experience
My experience with Michael has been everything an attorney client relationship should be. He responds to my calls in a timely manner. He knows my name and I don’t feel like I am just a file on his desk. I know he’s my attorney but he feels like a friend.

"I have come to know Michael Shammas over the past year as we both represented the same client but in different capacities. I was impressed with Michael's examinations of witnesses during depositions and arbitration hearings, as well as his knowledge of the law, in particular as it pertains to Chicago Transit Authority policies and procedures. Michael is a fine example of how one can be a zealous advocate for one's client, and yet maintain a high level of courtesy, composure, cooperation and respect. I look forward to working with Michael again on future cases."
