About Michael
Biography
I'm a local boy born and bred right here in Imperial County, CA. In the past, I was a substitute teacher for various local school districts, a newspaper reporter for the Imperial Valley Press, a paralegal, and now I'm an attorney based in El Centro, CA.
I'm always available to speak with clients, and I offer affordable flat-rate attorney fees. I have assisted with hundreds of bankruptcies and saved clients millions of dollars in debt settlements.

Takes care of client
Attorney Salorio was recommended by another attorney to handle Chapter 13 cases. He provided counsel and worked hard to complete case. More importantly, he took time to listen to concerns and answer questions.

Replied last March 20, 2019I'm very pleased to hear that you were happy with the outcome of you case. Ch. 13 bankruptcies are tough cases to see through to completion, and they're very stressful on our clients. I do my best to minimize the stress load on my clients by making myself available to answer any questions and concerns. Thank you for the review.
