From the very beginning, he makes sure you understand your options clearly, without sugarcoating or overpromising.

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.

Helpful and Experienced

Mr. Healy was really helpful, he knows the legal system inside and out. He helped me out even on short notice. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a strong attorney backing them.

Bull Dog.

I called Mike Healy for a consult. Let me qualify this by stating that I am by necessity of my trade, forceful, bull-headed, persistent, and I can be a challenge to talk to. I could tell within two minutes that Mike Healy was a true bulldog-- he took immediate control of the conversation. It was lik...e talking to Donald Trump---no punches pulled and very frank, definity not like a Hilary who only says what you want to hear to gain your business. He "deposed" me much in the manner of the courts, laying B.S. aside and was smart enough to separate the top layer of wheat from the chaff pretty quickly. Lawyers bill by the hour, so this is a big plus right? The fact that he took time to explain things to help me without a personal gain attests to his character. By the end of the coversation, it became apparent that Mike had a heart to assist the lesser equipped. He's a busy guy, but let's say you were a car accident victim who was treated unfairly and want a bulldog and don't have the cash to pay up front. I'd say go and present your case to him like I did. If it's a solid case, I think you've found a real bulldog, and believe me, that's a gift from God. Loose his leash, achieve peace, justice, and get on with your life.

Witty, Confident, Voice for the People!

Mr. Healy represented me for a traffic violation. He was very professional, courteous and had great patience. Our first court hearing was push back due to court congestion. Mr. Healy requested the officer to be present for the next hearing. When the hearing date arrived the officer was not present as... he was on "vacation". I was very upset since I didn't want to reschedule and have to take another day off of work. But Mr. Healy calmed me down and told me he would handle it. As we stood in front of the judge I did not say one word. Mr. Healy spoke with great confidence and composer. The judge did not grant the state a continuance and dismissed my case. I am so thankful for Mr. Healy and his ability to be the voice of the people. He truly is a No BS’ing Attorney and will stand up and speak up for the HONEST and INNOCENT!
