This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very patient and helpful

I called Michael about a wrongful termination case, he was thorough in answering my questions and gave me solid advice. I would likely hire him if I find myself in the needing to hire a wrongful termination lawyer. Thanks again for your time!

Fish and Game issue

I found Michael through an online search. He gave me some great advice and pointed me in the direction of what I should look for in a lawyer closer to me, since he was out of my area. I did not find anyone with the same level of experience as Michael and he agreed to handle my case even though I was ...in a different part of California. He has been a pleasure to work with and was always available to answer any questions with different options so that I could make informed decisions about how I wanted to proceed. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

Thank you Mr. Lynch!!

I have Michael Thomas Lynch to thank for not only making justice available to me in the first place, but also for resolving my labor law issue out of court and to my complete satisfaction. I went to Mr. Lynch with an employment/labor law issue and a complete lack of faith in the legal system. M...y issue involved wrongful termination and unfair wage practices. He was able to renew my faith in the legal system. He carefully explained every step of the process (sometimes more than once), the risks, the advantages and which approach would be most beneficial. He listened very carefully to my needs and showed sincere interest in my case. He was able to pick out the strengths and weaknesses of my issues. He was able to resolve the issues in a timely manor which was very important to me. His approach and recommendations were spot on and I am very grateful to be able to come away with fair compensation and complete gratification. He has empowered me by giving me a voice and justice. I highly recommend the services of Michael Thomas Lynch.

Honest, Professional & Overall Nice Guy.

Michael comes highly recommended. He helped my case in Sonoma County w/an extension of a turn-in date and other matters. Very pleasant to deal with!

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.
