Rockstar Lawyer Who Goes Above and Beyond!

Michael Burgis and Jenny Valencia are rockstars. As a team, they handled my complex Worker's Compensation case with compassion, hard work, attention to detail, responsiveness and an effectiveness that went beyond the norm. They were up against one of the toughest WC insurance firms in my case, and ye...t, they were able to secure much needed surgeries, even during Covid, and even when I was out of state, per my doctor's orders, to be with family during a spine surgery and recovery. The character they showed, in the midst of handling so many cases, and the kindness they displayed while handling such a horrible circumstance (the WC case and injury), is extremely rare. I cannot recommend them strongly enough. If you need REAL help, true attention to detail and compassion while being tough as nails against the powers that be, you need Michael Burgis and Associates. Jenny took amazing care of me, answering emails and calls promptly, coming in on weekends to get things done ahead of time. Mr. Burgis always found time to speak with me personally if I needed it, too, which was incredible. They found ways to make things happen that I don't think other law firms could have done. And, by the way, you want Michael Burgis arguing any case for you. I'm a pretty sharp cookie, and I could barely keep up with the speed with which he verbally argued his points. He's as sharp as it gets. Hire them. They will take care of you, and you will feel confident that you have the best possible team during a process that can be difficult. You have your choice of who to hire. The power is yours. Why not hire the best? I did. And now, post settlement, I feel I can pursue the treatment I need to live a healthy life. That can be your story, too. By the way, I had another lawyer before them, and it wasn't going well. So I found Michael Burgis and Associates on Yelp. So glad I did. Call them. You won't regret it!

True advocate for the injured worker

Michael has shown exceptional litigation skills and has proven to have a high-level understanding of law in complex workers' compensation cases. I first came across his firm through some videos he posted and was impressed by his office staff and his paralegal's understanding of the law as well. Mike'...s a true advocate for the injured worker.

Thank you , Michael Burgis !

Michael Burgis and his team are a class act. You truly won't find a more kind, knowledgeable, professional, honest person (let alone a lawyer) anywhere. I had him help me with my workers' comp case and am a happy client. Michael and his staff made themselves available to answer all my questions, re...sponded in a timely manner to my emails, and were extremely professional. He was referred to me by a colleague - and I will absolutely refer him to others here on Avvo! Five stars all the way!

Very satisfied with Michael Burgis & Associates' Representation

Michael Burgis’ handled my workman’s comp case last year and got me a settlement that was beyond my expectations. Before hiring the firm, I hit several roadblocks with treatment being denied and my primary treating doctor wanting to release me back to work prematurely. Once I got Mr. Burgis involved,... he immediately switched me to a better doctor in the network and submitted appeals on my behalf when treatment I really needed was denied. I’m grateful for the staff that made me feel important and helped me cut through all the medical red tape. The workman’s comp system does NOT make it easy to help an injured worker, but hiring a firm like Michael Burgis’ can make all the difference in the world.

Excellent attorney!

You probably have spent hours checking the internet and asking all your friends if they know a “good attorney” because there are so many attorneys and law firms in Los Angeles. But you realize that you have only one chance to win or lose your case and for that you need an attorney whom you can trust..., who will do the job with an outcome in your favor. I was lucky enough to have been referred to “The Law Offices of Michael Burgis & Associates”. I want to help you, also, because I already went through all that and the entire process took five month from the start to the end, speed which is unheard of for a worker’s compensation case. If you are looking for an attorney with: 1. High level of professionalism, 2. Extreme sense of responsibility, 3. Knowledge practiced to perfection through experience, 4. Mind and reaction of a genius, 5. Lightning speed of handling his cases! You are looking at the right name Michael Burgis!

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.
