Michael Foster provided excellent legal representation.
Having Michael Foster work for me was the most important decision I made in regards to my legal needs. His dedication to my case and concern for my well being went above and beyond my expectations. He was able to get the results I deserved. With his legal services I was able to obtain $1.4 million in compensation for the wrongs committed against me, and this was done much sooner than I thought possible. Even after legal proceedings were finished he continued to assist me in matters I needed help with, though not obligated to do so. If legal counsel is needed I would recommend Michael Foster to anyone who has been wronged. You will not find better legal representation.

I had someone very unfairly suing me for several thousand dollars for repairs to my mowers which were not repaired and had to be repaired by another shop. I was very concerned but when Michael Foster handled it I ended up paying nothing. He was extremely pleasant and professional which was unexpected for such a legal problem. I can certainly recommend him.

Outstanding legal work
We can wholeheartedly recommend Michael Foster. Our experience with him was exceptional. He diligently attended to every detail which allowed him to pursue both of our legal cases in a fair but aggressive manner. We admired the way that Michael was able to tailor a legal strategy that would ensure the best outcome and kept us informed every step of the way. His knowledge of the law instilled great confidence and his compassionate approach earned him our lifelong gratitude.
