Thank you!

I am very grateful for the help I received from Beverly Law Firm! Both Gabriel and Michael were willing to spend time on the phone with me answering my questions and providing me with in depth information, even though I prefaced the conversations by admitting to not being able to pay for services. No...t only were they very informative, but Michael and Gabriel were also compassionate and expressed genuine concern for my well being and an interest in helping me. Then, after answering all of my questions thoroughly, Michael also took the time to email me additional information and templates. Now I feel knowledgeable and prepared to handle my case. Thank you so much Beverly Law Firm!

Friendly and helpful

Michael's office spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with me to counsel me in the best way to handle my case. Though they were unable to accept my case, they were still friendly and helpful and answered all of my questions without making feel like I was wasting their time.

First time seeking an Attorney

I placed a request online and heard back from them with in a few minutes. Michael was very helpful he explained to me my options regarding my case, he also emailed me some important documents, which he suggested I look at, and was very honest about what we could do with our case. He was very nice abo...ut everything, he even offered to let me call back if I had questions in the future. We're definitely gonna take his advice.

Helping the little guy

Michael was unable to take my case do to a time restraint but send me lots of information to assist me in filing a case outside of their resources, very helpful, very responsive, give me plenty of information to make me successful I appreciate the work they did for me. Michael has also sent me severa...l emails to follow up on my process and if he could do anything else for me. Again I would highly recommend this lawyer and his staff to anyone in need of a lawyer. I once again would like to thank Michael and his staff for what they have done so far and helping me along with my case.

Grade A lawyer

I was in a car accident roughly around a month ago and I got hit while my car was parked on the corner of the street. The insurance company has been giving him me a really tough time which led me to go ahead and hire attorney Michael so far everything has been great and every promise that he made to ...me has come true. He's gotten my car fixed, he also got me doctors that I could see without any upfront payment. For that I am grateful! The only downside is that sometimes he's a little bit busy but he always responds to all of his phone calls by the end of the day so even if he doesn't pick up my phone call that moment he gives me a call by the end of the day and he's a busy attorney so I'm definitely understanding of the fact that everyone wants a piece of his time.

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.
