Highly Competent Contract Attorney

I worked with Mike Garavalia on a complex contract case. Mike was very patient with me as we worked through the process, explaining points of law and making sure I completely understood his reasoning behind why he was moving forward in certain manners. I worked with him very closely to make sure h...e understood the technical details behind the contract and he was very quick to understand the intricacies behind the contract. He was also supportive through the process - encouraging me when I had doubts and generally being a cheerleader for me as well as a highly competent professional. His caring for me as a person as well as a client was evident throughout the process. I cannot recommend Mike Garavalia enough. If you've got a contract dispute, he's the guy that can get it across the finish line.

Amazing Experience

I contacted Mike Garavalia for my personal injury case after I was involved in a car accident in the summer of 2008. The accident caused trauma to my left left leg which required 2 months of physical therapy and rehab...not to mention my vehicle was totaled. Hospital bills, insurance battles, and a l...ot of personal stress and worry prompted me to contact an attorney. Mike was a college friend of one of my oldest friends from home so after hearing about my personal strife they encouraged me to have Mike take my case. All I had to do was send him the paperwork and he did the rest. I was given periodic updates and the progress of my case and after what seemed like not much time at all, I was contacted that I had a check waiting for me at Mike's office. All I needed to do was sign some papers and collect my settlement. I could not have asked for a more thorough, caring, and professional person to take care of me in one of the most important aspects of my life...my health and money. As a single person, I really needed someone I could trust to put my best interests first to make sure I got everything I deserved. I would highly recommend Mike to handle any personal injury case that you may have. Thanks so much Mike for all you've done!
