Awesome attorney

I was referred to the Law Office of Michael Smith by another attorney. They worked on my case with the utmost professionalism. In particular, I worked closely with attorney Michael Chu who was responsive to my questions and concerns. He routinely kept me informed of updates on my case. He negotiated ...a good settlement for me with the at fault driver and he was also able to reduce my hospital bill. I ended up with a better recovery because of his efforts.

Treats you like family

I've had a lawyer for an old car accident and I felt like I was invisible. Michael Chu was the exact opposite. If something came up I was notified right away. When I was in person in a zoom he was my rock I felt he had my back no matter what. I will forever recommend Mr.Chu to anyone and everyone I k...now because he gives results. Our case only lasted a year I was in shock how quick and not to stressful on me. Michael Chu is a lawyer that really cares for his clients and there well being. Thank you so much for fighting for me when I had no voice and when I had no fight in me. Thank you

Amazing attorney and great to work with!

Michael Chu is an amazing lawyer whom worked tirelessly on my unique case. I had an accident in November 2013 that took me longer than expected to heal from and followed horrible advice from others. I listened to the wrong people and read wrong advice. Months later, I acquired Michael Chu in March 20...14. It seemed to be like an open and close case, but given the bad advice, I found myself more in a predicament that Michael helped me with. He was very professional, easy to contact via email or phone, very responsive, contacted the opposing party and tried his best to resolve the issues outside of court, and was able to resolve my case. It required much more work than expected, but Michael was always helpful, responsive, and welcoming. We never went into litigation since it was resolved prior, but his work was very organized and well written.
