From the very beginning, he makes sure you understand your options clearly, without sugarcoating or overpromising. His knowledge of the law is i...mpressive, and he uses it to guide you with confidence and precision. What sets Michael apart is not just his efficiency, but also his determination—he does not back down when fighting for his clients.

Car Accident

I was involved in my first car accident. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do, other then the steps my insurance had me do. I was injured, so i was going though with all of my appointments. Fast forward two years, i was told it’s time to maybe get a lawyer. No one wanted to touch my case, cause it... was so close to the statue limitations. I was given Michael Healy number and he was they only one that wanted to take up my case. He made it clear that he was a fighter and that he was very confident that we would win. He was very professional, and always kept me in the loop of what was going on with my case. After a year of taking on my case, everything was completely without any problems. Michael is a great lawyer, who took on my case when no one wanted too. He really showed concerned of my injuries from the accident. Heaven forbid anything like this ever happens again, i would definitely use Michael Healy again.

Free Consult

Straightforward and said up front he wouldn't take my case and stated why. He wanted to be a nice guy, though, and heard my story. Then, he asked me if I had any questions and then said I had too many. At times, he seemed a little condescending. He did direct the questions to get to the core of t...he matter quickly, though, but he was a little too harsh for me. If you need a bit of hand holding, he might not be the right fit. If you like directness, then he might work for you.
