EXCEPTIONAL ATTORNEY

I first became acquainted with Mike when he was coaching my grandson in soccer. I contacted Glisson law firm after being in a car accident. There were some disputed issues about my claim, and Mike helped me through the whole process. He also help calm me down during my deposition which helped me ga...in confidence when testify for my case. I feel he was why the decision turned out very favorable. His secretary, Stephanie, is the best. She is both friendly and professional. The whole staff makes you feel very welcome when you go to the office. I can not say enough about how well Mike treats his clients. I would recommend him 100%.

An attorney and a humanist

Mr. Glisson represented me in my case initially involving a serious car accident and a few broken bones. At the time I hired him, my injuries had healed, I was working, and was in no serious financial danger. The case proceeded accordingly, until I suffered both the loss of my job and the death of my... father, who would have been my primary source of financial support while resolving my situation. I was facing homelessness and all manner of personal catastrophe, and needed my settlement put in the express lane, so to speak. Mr. Glisson could not have been more considerate toward me or my situation. He was, to put it mildly, profoundly patient with me at a time when I was (also putting it mildly) an absolute nightmare to deal with. The compassion and understanding he showed me was above and beyond what I would expect from an attorney. I wish I could do more to thank him than this review. He would probably say he was just doing his job, but not all attorneys do their jobs with the understanding that there are real human lives behind the cases they're working. Mr. Glisson is acutely aware that his clients are real people with real problems. He is unique in that regard, and I'm immensely grateful to him.

Worker's Compensation

I worked at a hospital for 38 years. I would take the patients and transport them to surgery. I was going to get a bed to transport a patient, when I tripped and fell on a foot stool that shouldn't have been left the way it was. I broke my left wrist and my right kneecap. I was referred to Mr. Glisso...n by a co-worker of mine who had hired him for a recent case. Mr. Glisson and his staff were very kind and handled my case with such professionalism. Mr. Glisson helped me through the worker's compensation process, not rushing the process and allowing me to recover before resolving my case. Not only is he knowledgeable in the areas he practices, but he is a genuine person who wants to see good come to people who deserve it. I have already recommended a fellow co-worker who was recently injured. I would highly recommend Mr. Glisson to anyone in search of an attorney!

Slip and Fall

I have been working since I was 17, I have dropped 165 pounds for my health. I want to live a full and healthy life. Because of someone else's negligence, I took a fall on a wet floor that had been mopped and not properly posted. They said they were sorry and refused to write down my name to contact ...me about the incident. I ended up in the emergency room from the horrible pain. I had also missed work which caused me to lose some financial stability. I contacted the place of business and was treated like it was no big deal. They refused to pay my doctor bill and after speaking with their lawyer, they were advised they did not have to pay. The only think I was offered, was their consumer services that I had paid for when I took the fall. I have always worked for my money and never sued to get ahead, I only wanted to be relieved of the pain I suffered. I also could not get the medical treatment that I needed that would help find out what the real damage had been. After a month and a half of pain, I went to see Michael Glisson. He was very kind and believed that I should be treated with respect. The damage was much more extensive than a sprain, that I had originally been diagnosed with. I had to have surgery and sustained a fracture in a joint. I am so grateful that Mike listened to me when no one else would. I am able move on with my life and enjoy it without pain I sustained from the slip and fall. Mike helped me in receiving $125,000. He also helped in giving me my dignity back and the respect I deserved in the first place. I would highly recommend Mike!!

Texting and Driving Accident

Another attorney referred me to Mr. Glisson. Another driver was texting, and rear ended our vehicle. The insurance company said I already had knee damage and did not want to pay for damages. After a lot of work, I had to testify in front of several arbitrators. Very pleased with the result, and I was... very grateful to Michael for all of his efforts. Would recommend him and his staff to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
