Can you handle working with the Best?

Michael Ready represented me in my workers’ compensation case. He is very timely with correspondence, returning calls and messages. Attorney Ready never once dropped the ball throughout the nearly 3 years of litigation. He fought hard for me and was a trusted and devoted lawyer. I found him to be ...dedicated and appreciated how he would tell it like it is. His staff was wonderful and helpful. He got a great result for me and I am happy he was my lawyer. I can recommend him as an excellent attorney. John R.

Expert Workers' Compensation Attorney!

I hired Attorney Michael Ready to represent me in my workers’ compensation case. Every step of the way, during my 2+ years journey through the process, Attorney Ready listened to me and my concerns, explained the law, and reviewed options with me. He is kind, patient, and respectful. He also has a... wonderful, attentive, and very supportive staff. With Attorney Ready’s expertise and strong negotiating skills, he very strategically and successfully managed my case resulting in a very positive outcome. He really does care about getting the best results for his clients. I am so grateful to Attorney Michael Ready and his staff!

Top Notch Lawyer

Looked on line for an attorney in my area. I found Michael Ready for my Workmen's comp injury. Had problems with my back surgery. Attorney Ready made sure all my wants were taken care of. For my final financial situation I was more than satisfied. He will be my lawyer for an further legal business. ...Highly recommended. REB, Jr.

  • 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.
