Made it easy for me to deal with my case and got me a settlement offer

I had a difficult situation in getting a contract dispute settled. Attorney Pierson took my case and did a thorough job researching and finding the law that favorably applied to my case which he then used to convince the other attorney to have his client make a settlement offer. Attorney Pierson kept... me up to date on what was going on and always called me back when I needed to talk with him. He always gave me a chance to say what was important to me and also gave advice on my options. I would recommend him!

Excellent Lawyer, Highly Recommended

I strongly recommend Michael Pierson- he thoroughly reviewed my personal injury case and was very responsive throughout the entire settlement process. After having switched from a less attentive lawyer I was relieved to receive such great service even while traveling abroad. He is professional, eff...ective and we ended up receiving a settlement amount much higher than I originally anticipated. He is an excellent lawyer and I am very satisfied with my time as his client.

Avvo Rating

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.
