Michael John Richter

I injured my back at work in 2008. I found Mike Richter and he took my case when I came in to see him about 15 months later. Mike got me to good doctors who took care of me. The defense attorney wanted to take my deposition and because I was in pain, Mike drove from San Jose to Auburn so that we c...ould have the deposition near my home instead of making me drive to San Jose. He did an excellent job of preparing me for my deposition so that I did a good job testifying. He got me to a good evaluating doctor in Oakdale who was fair and honest as well. I believe I received a fair settlement from the insurance company because of Mike's work. My case settled in 2012. I wanted to keep my future medical care open, so I settled by stipulations. The insurance company has been denying medical to me despite the fact that doctors say I need the care. Mike did not let go of the case simply because he had been paid. He continues to fight the insurance company so that I can get medical care and in fact just recently filed a petition for penalties against the insurance company for bad faith claims handling practices. The company settled by paying me $2,000 and agreeing to provide the medical care. I am very happy with Mike's service to me. He has helped me immensely and was even able to get approval for spinal decompression therapy for me. My doctor said that he had not heard of any other attorney being able to get that authorized. Michael Richter is a good man. He's been a great attorney for me. He doesn't always tell me what I want to hear, but he always tells me like it is. I highly recommend Mike Richter as an attorney.
