This is the law firm to call

Michael returned my request for information over the weekend. He was quick to get me into the office to talk about my case and I was surprised that he had all the answers to my questions and gave additional information i didnt think to ask about. I give him a 10 star rating and I want to thank AVVO ...for putting his firm on the list to contact. I waited for three months and was not getting medical care. A week after retaining his firm I was getting the care I should have in the beginning. We have a ways to go yet but I am no longer worried about it because I have a firm who cares about me and my family. They care about the law and the rights that are so often deprived of people. He is not the everyday run of the mill attorney, he actually cares and practices law from the heart and not the pocket book.

Excellent person and Lawyer

Mike and I have now been dealing with my work injury for over a year now. And not once has this man let me down. It has been a long, trying road for sure. But Mike has a rare and special quality of being a top notch expert and still has time and compassion for his clients. With Mike as your Lawyer, y...ou will not ever be lost on where things are with your case and you'll always be treated with respect. Thanks to Mike I am now getting the surgery I need to be the Dad and Husband my family needs me to be. So if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being injured at work, you can't go wrong with hiring this man. He's honest, dependable and really cares about the people he represents.

Mike Works for YOU

Two years ago I hired Mike to handle a Workers Comp case for me. Mike kept me informed at each step of the way. At times it seemed like we were going nowhere but Mike kept assuring me that this was part of the process. His knowledge and determination and skills getting through the process were grea...tly appreciated. Mike will always consult with you before a strategic move is made letting you help make the final call. Mike has a calming affect that can help you when you need to understand the process and not get frustrated. I did, and we always were able to talk it through and come to the right decision. Mike listened to my concerns and suggestions and as a team we were able to come to a final agreement that was fair and equitable for all. Mike was always coming up with new strategies to help us win our case. I would recommend Mike to anyone who would need a lawyer to WIN their Workers Comp case. He is a Master at his craft.

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.
