Impressive

I highly recommend Michael! His consistent communication was a huge asset; I was kept in the loop every step of the way regarding progress and opposing counsel's responses. Thanks to Michael's expertise and dedication, we were able to achieve a very fair agreement

SIRVA Claim

I contacted and eventually hired Mr. Baseluos to represent me in filing a claim regarding a physical injury I sustained during the routine administration of an Influenza Vaccine. From the inception of the case until its fruition, Mr. Baseluos was both diligent and the epitome of professionalism.... Mr. Baseluos demonstrated a mastery in both the subject matter and in navigating the rigmarole of the court proceedings. Most importantly, Mr. Baseluos was empathetic to my plight, was engaged in the case, and regularly provided me with updates and time to discuss courses of action. Ultimately, Mr. Baseluos was successful in adjudicating my case and acquiring for me a very fair settlement in the matter in an expeditious fashion. I would highly recommend hiring Mr. Baseluos for any issues requiring the representation of a lawyer.

Amazing Facilitator

I can’t express in totality my appreciation for the person, performance, law acumen, truthfulness and guidance at every stage of my case by attorney Michael Baseluos. I never imagined that I’d ever need an attorney. However, life has a way of bringing challenges that demand the need for professi...onals in the field of law. In 2017 I acquired CIDP an autoimmune disorder as the result of a flu vaccine. I had originally consulted with a different firm that marketed themselves as the industry leader in vaccine related injuries. Over the course of 2 years I was instructed by the firm that nothing else could be done and for me to abandon the case. I was rather devastated, in that I was led to believe that we would easily settle the case. Now I was being asked to live with deficits caused by the vaccine. What I believe to be true is that once it was realized that a lot of work is involved in settling these types of cases, the other firm wasn’t up to the challenge. I began calling and leaving messages for attorneys all across the USA to see if anyone would be willing to pick up the pieces of a case that had been fumbled for over 2 years. Thankfully, Mr Baseluos returned my call and in short order began to lay out the plan and process with integrity, truthfulness and transparency. The acumen in which he utilized his craft in securing expert witnesses, utilizing videographers to display the depth of my deficits and in just keeping me calm in the midst of the storm was remarkable. There were times when I wanted and pressed to hear what I wanted to hear in regard to the process. Mr. Baseluos never wavered and always stayed true to the law with full transparency.. I’ve often said that he represented me as if he were representing himself. It really felt that it was indeed personal. Through Mr. Baseluos reputation, expertise and guidance we were able settle my case. In which I am grateful. I don’t believe that anyone else could have or would have done what he did for my case, and for that I’m extremely thankful. I searched across the USA for a reputable, honest , knowledgeable attorney with integrity and acumen in the field of law. Only to find one in my backyard in San Antonio Tx. There’s literally only one thing that I wish I had done differently. I wish that I’d consulted Mr. Baseluos on my team from day 1.

Thank you for these wonderful words. Hearing such comments reminds me of why I became an attorney. I only wish I could have done more.

Exceeds expectations

Michael Adly Baseluos is a hard working lawyer! He kept my mother in the loop of everything he performed and executed. I highly recommend him to anyone. My mother at the age of 76 lost 75% of mobility on left shoulder after a pneumonia vaccine incident. We called Mike Baseluos and he took care of the... rest. He's very professional, humble and easy to work with. Best lawyer in Texas!
