Thank you for helping me secure my medical license!

Michael and Marvin Firestone helped me secure my medical license in the state of California after past difficulties with my residency program director led the California Medical Board to initially deny my medical license application when I moved to California after my residency training. I could not ...have overcome the initial denial of my medical license application without their help. They are knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and kind. They are very familiar with medical license regulations and medical board conflicts. I would strongly recommend them to other health care professionals who need help dealing with the California Medical Board. Thank you Firestone Law Firm for helping me get my career back! Sincerely, -Abraham

Thank you!

I definitely would recommend Michael A. Firestone to everyone I know! Michael is very knowledgeable about medical law. I reached out to Michael regarding my situation at the lowest point of my life, and Michael did not hesitate to learn about my case and helped me with my appeal process. Michael d...edicated time and wrote one of the greatest and amazing appeal papers that is like a book. Also, Michael prepared very well for the hearing with fantastic questions. Michael is not only a great lawyer but also a kind hearted person! He cares for me as a person and always quickly responds to any questions or concerns I have during the most difficult time of my life. Due to Michael’s dedication and hard work on my case, I prevailed in the appeal and have the opportunity to return to the residency program to complete training. In addition, Michael helped me successfully obtain my California postgraduate training license to resume training. I am so thankful and grateful to Michael, Dr. Firestone, and the staff at their law firm for being there for me when I needed help most.

SIRVA injury

Michael has been my attorney for a SIRVA injury case. He did settle the case to my satisfaction, but that is not why I gave him 5 stars. I have dealt with too many attorneys who require many calls, texts and or emails before responding. Not so with Michael. If he is not available, Pat his fantasti...c assistant, will respond. I have recommended him to a friend with a SIRVA injury and she has retained him. He is by far the best attorney I have ever used.
