Eight years after Michael successful took care of our case, I called him with a question regarding a copy of paperwork. Not only did he remember us, he responded twice within five minutes each time. I will forever be grateful for Mr. Shemtoub and will also use him again in a heart beat if need be!

My name is Shawn. I had a few questions regarding a single car spin-out that totaled the vehicle and put my wife and I in the hospital for 5 days. No injuries, mainly observation and tests. My wife was pregnant. It wasn't my car and the insurance was the car owners. Everyone ended up to be fine and my wife delivered a healthy child. The insurance company made me feel uncomfortable and unsure of how this was going to be resolved. Michael answered my questions and put me back on track to having this situation finalized. I wasn't even a client. The information he offered was free and it was personally handled by Michael himself. Thank you for the time and attention Michael shawn
