This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Above and beyond !

Michael settled my case in an efficient and timely manner and was very professional throughout the process. He kept me informed on a regular basis and explained the process in detail. The settlement I received was well beyond what I had imagined and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I give Mich...ael my highest possible rating.

Professionalism at its best.

During our first meeting, Michael Olsen listened carefully to our concerns, asked questions that helped him understand the situation, and explained our options clearly and succinctly. After taking our case, he and his associates worked diligently in our behalf, gaining results that exceeded our expec...tations. We are more than pleased with the outcome and will seek the assistance of Goodsell and Olsen again, if needed.

My experience with Mike Olsen was excellent. He defended me in a difficult case where a group of people I have never knew or met tried to use a fraudulent POA to get money from me. He conducted an extensive discovery, unravelled the case, and won it for me. He worked very hard and communicated tim...ely with me. I highly recommend him.

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.
