Michael J. Crowley

I was hit by a truck while riding my bike. I soon realized that dealing with the aftermath of the event would not be possible for me without a lawyer. I needed help, and fortunately my research led me to Michael. Michael is direct, focused, assertive and effective. He relieved me of a heavy burden du...ring a time when I was recovering from a physical and emotional trauma. It was very reassuring for me to have Michael in my corner. I remember feeling relieved and confident after my first meeting with Michael, and now that the case has concluded, I am grateful that I put my case in his hands. I also found Michael's support staff to be topnotch.

I was hit by a pickup truck as I was walking across a supermarket's parking lot. Even though the police report said it was the truck driver's fault, I knew I was in no condition to deal with insurance or medical companies. I turned to my daughter, who is a lawyer in another state, for advice on whi...ch Personal Injury attorney I should choose to represent me. She thoroughly researched lawyers in the surrounding area including San Francisco and felt the best one to handle my case was Michael Crowley. She could not have given me better advice. From the start to its successful conclusion a year later, Michael Crowley handled my case with ease and expertise. He was responsive to all my queries, actually listened to what I had to say and discussed all matters with me thoroughly before proceeding. The result was that he procured the maximum award available to me. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Crowley and his seasoned and efficient legal staff.

Most would agree to a set of Universal Truths: Life is NOT fair; bad things happen to good people; and the "system" may not always be depended upon to provide favorable results. My experience has led me to add one more to that set: when life appears bleakest, you better have a trustworthy, responsive..., and knowledgeable Advocate who believes in you. You will find no better Advocate than Michael Crowley. I was involved in a head on collision w/ an oversized commercial pickup truck while occupying a center turn lane. Air bags deployed in my compact import pick up, the collision knocked me unconscious, totaling my truck. EMT arrived some time latter, helped me out of my truck and took me by ambulance to a local hospital with knee, neck, back and shoulder injuries. The shoulder injury would require surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and impingement, requiring long, arduous physical therapy. Additionally, to add insult to injury, the police officer made numerous mistakes in filing the accident report, including that I was at fault (the defendant provided most of the "one sided" narrative to the officer). An attorney that I had worked with over the years in various business matters, recommended without reservation, Michael Crowley. At that very moment, the tide turned, and my outlook on life improved greatly. Michael listened to my account of the collision with great intensity and interest, believing in what I had to say. Michael vigorously executed a well planned strategy that included securing the very best accident reconstruction expert, vocational/economic damage experts, greatly strengthening my case against the defendant. I had the honor of sitting in on the pretrial deposition of the defendant, and read the deposition of the police officer. In a respectful yet tactically blistering series of inquiries, Michael uncovered the truth and had both the defendant and the police officer admit to facts that did not support their assertions that I was at fault. Talk about a game changer! "Long story-short, my case was settled for very near the defendants liability limit, and Michael advocated successfully on my behalf regarding my medical pay reimbursement to my insurer, greatly exceeding my expectations. Michael vigorously prepared for trial, and in doing so, prevented one. I would hope that one would never have the need for a personal injury attorney. When your life seems to be crumbling around you, you will not find a better advocate than Michael Crowley. To say that I am grateful to Michael and his firm, would be a great understatement. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Crowley, an outstanding personal injury attorney, and an all around genuinely nice, caring man.

Michael is an exceptional attorney. He help my girlfriend and I through a very, very difficult period in our lives with great intelligence, experience and empathy. We were hit head on by a semi truck on the freeway. The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and crossed over the grass median. Nee...dless to say we were both almost killed and left badly injured. Michael constantly made himself available to us throughout the entire process. He settled our case far beyond expectation both in magnitude and duration. He made this very difficult period of our lives as brief as possible and left us protected against the potential pitfalls of the future. He was kind and upfront, willing to explain anything to us in a respectful and clear manner. When this process finally finished, I felt as if he were a member of the extended family or a close friend. He is man I put my faith into and so can you.

I or should I say, my family, loves Michael Crowley, he’s done so much for us! I have no doubt whatsoever, I could not have found a better attorney for my case. To begin with, I had been riding my bike home from work, as in bicycle, and I was hit by a semi-truck and trailer, and the report take...n by an officer had dismissed it by writing it was my fault, I ran into him and nothing should be done. No kidding. So from the beginning, things in the case were against me. Mr. Crowley agreed to look over the case anyway and see if it was worth taking on. And let me know because of my straight up honest responses from the time I talked to the paramedics, ER staff, anyone and anybody, coherent or not, my story didn’t waver. He believed in me and took my case. This man is a true gem. I know he has a family, a home life and even other cases going on, yet he always made me feel as though I was the most important, if not the only thing going on in his life, and informed me at every turn what was going on with my case. Even when the road was looking very rocky, he didn’t pull any punches. I was always impressed at what a great listener to detail he is and when I thought he had covered every angle possible that the other side could argue, he’s covered five more. This man is truly amazing, I have been in awe of him, I know the best scenario is to settle out of court, but I secretly kind of hoped it would go to trial. He has such powerful enthusiasm I think it would have been kind of exciting to watch him in action in a court room. But that would have left the decision up to a jury and who knows how they may see things. So we settled for a half million dollars ($500,000.00) coming from a totally bleak beginning. He got it all turned around as to where it had begun. Most lawyers probably wouldn’t have touched it. He and his family are in my prayers everyday because we were truly blessed to have had him enter our lives! I know this might sound over the top or overblown, but it’s how I really feel!
