Personal Injury

My husband and I were visiting the Napa Valley area on vacation and I was the victim of a freak accident. I had to obtain counsel to deal with insurance companies and I was referred to Mr. Fitzsimmons. Since we live on the other side of the country, all of our correspondence was either by phone or ...email and he was always very timely in responding to my questions. He was very professional and caring about my injuries and did everything he could possibly do to handle my case. I am forever grateful to Mr. Fitzsimmons for helping me through this process and seeing that I was taken care of as a victim of an accident. We will not be able to thank him enough for all that he has done. I highly recommend Mr. Fitzsimmons for representation. He and his staff were heaven sent!

Above and beyond

I am so grateful for the exceptional services Michael Fitzsimmons provided in regards to my personal injuries claim. I was referred to Mr. Fitzsimmons by a close friend with whom I had discussed my case. I had disclosed that I was very unhappy with my current attorney, who was unreachable and not... pleasant to work with. After one discussion with Mr. Fitzsimmons, I knew I would be in very capable hands and this proved to be true. I hired his services immediately. Mr. Fitzsimmons was successful in winning the lawsuit in my favor. He did extensive research, was an excellent communicator, and responded compassionately in regards to my claims. I highly recommend Mr. Fitzsimmons to any who need legal counsel.

Loved working with Mike, would hire again in a heartbeat.

Mike took over in the middle of 2 cases when his partner decided to pursue other avenues. Not a beat was missed, you would have thought he was right there the whole time. When it happened again, I went right back to Mike knowing he would take good care of me, and he did.

Accident claim

He was so nice throughout the whole process. I was very frustrated with my insurance having delayed paying my claim for 3 years and had never had to speak with a lawyer before, so I was anxious about the whole situation. Mike was very nice and helpful and kept me informed on everything throughout the... process. After hiring him, the whole process was smooth and quick. He even offered to drive me to the deposition if the other attorney wanted to have it at ther office in SF as I was afraid of driving for long distances after my accident. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney.
