This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Michael has your back!

I have had many occasions to utilize legal services, both personally and professionally. Of the many atttorneys I have employed, Michael Padway stands out as having been both effective and supportive throughout the legal process. Even before I retained him, he freely offered helpful advice. Whe...n the moment came, Michael stepped up and acieved results in my accident case double what I had been told I could reasonably expect from my case. His advocacy combines hardnosed dilligence and creativity. In my case, his representation was both principled and effective, efficiently obtaining for me a desirable outcome. In a legal battle, you will want Michael on your side!

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.
