The only Medical Malpractice/Personal Injury Lawyer you need for your case.

At first, my husband and I would like to thank Mr. Michael Gatto for all his work in helping with our case. In mid 2009, we lost our beloved daughter. After six months, the shock subsided and we decided to hire an attorney. We contacted more than a dozen law firms in the Bay Area. None of them... were willing to take our case. A few firms responded but said we didn’t have a case. Fortunately, we were referred to Mr. Gatto. He is a real professional, knowledgeable, intelligent, efficient, laborious, trustworthy, and has a remarkable personality. He shows his compassion and cares for his clients. We had an extremely stressful and difficult case against two doctors. Mr. Gatto always checked on us to make sure we were doing okay. He respected us and listened to everything we said while we were going through the toughest time in our lives. He was always there to answer any questions we had. Mr. Gatto always kept us updated with the latest information. He was our anchor through this heartbroken battle and eventually was able to get what he thought was the best for us. We are thankful for his efforts on our case not like other lawyers pushing us away from their doors. We truly appreciate him for taking our case. Anyone can find a lawyer, but not all of them can get the best. We were so lucky to have him represent us. We highly recommend Mr. Gatto to anyone seeking a Malpractice/Personal Injury Attorney that you can count on and he definitely will work hard for you.

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.
