Amazing, Compassionate and very Effective Worker's Compensation Attorney!

From the first day I walked into Attorney Ready's office through and after my case was settled if I called Mike and he wasn't available if I left a message that I wanted to speak with him he was the person who always returned my calls, he didn't shuffle me off to his assistant or anyone else he talke...d to me through every step until I thoroughly understood the answer to my questions (and there were many), I was seriously injured in a work related case and Attorney Ready worked my case earnestly for 2+ years. I gave him a minimum of what I was willing to settle for and he was able to exceed that amount, but what was equally important to me was with all the pain I was going through and the turmoil of realizing I'd never be able to do the work I had done and truly loved doing for over 15 years I became severely depressed and started having panic attacks which I'd never experienced before, The insurance company representing my employer refused to acknowledge it was work related and refused to cover it under my case therefore I had to pay the counseling, psychiatrist and medications all out of my pocket as when I got hurt I lost my job so I lost my health insurance. But, Attorney Ready never lost sight of the importance that counseling was to me and my recovery, so he made sure my settlement DIDN'T just include a good and fair monetary amount but was able to get my Psychiatrist, Counselor and meds that was directly related to my case covered for life. That was huge for me. So it's my opinion if anyone's ever in need of the BEST Worker's Compensation Attorney in Massachusetts look no further, you have fortunately just found him. I would be more than will I'll Nguyen for anyone to email me to confirm this Recommendation is Real. Thank you again Mike for EVERYTHING you have done for me and my family as a whole.

Michael Ready is the best

Did not hire an attorney when I should have. I waited until my weekly benefits were dropped and was in a real jam.. still needing surgery. Mike and his team helped me tremendously. If you need someone call Mike. You won't be sorry.

I hired Michael Ready to handle my Injury case

I hired Michael Ready to handle my personal injury case after interviewing several attorneys and I'm glad I did. We were first referred to a lawyer who after looking into their qualification we just didn't feel comfortable with handling our serious issue. Michael just seemed to be more capable than t...he others I talked too and we were impressed with his background. The firm's whole staff was very nice to me and my family during the whole process. From the start Michael handled everything from medical bills to dealing with the insurance company people. Good guy, Great Attorney!
