Review Michael Gravlin

Amazing Attorney

Posted by

Michael Gravlin handled my person injury case after I was injured in a car accident. Mr. Gravlin was professional, attentive, and diligent throughout the entire process. Mr. Gravlin and his law office staff returned all of my phone calls immediately. I was never confused about the status of my case. He fought for my case with the insurance company aggressively and obtained a large settlement offer that I could not refuse. I felt confident that my case was handled exceptionally well from start to finish. You will not regret your decision to hire Michael Gravlin as your attorney!

Tough case

Posted by

Mr.Gravlin will 5 star across the board . !Trusted Smart,aggressive,no nonsense type of attorney that understands me as not a client but a person . His staff is incredible, professional and all manners . He's better then Horwitz and other so called Super Attorneys that look at you as a pay check and not as a human being with financial responsibilities and families . I recommend him to all my family and friends for all legal situations . I thank him for taking on my very difficult case and being such a hardworking attorney.
