WHAT AN AWSOME ATTORNEY

I was involved in an unfortunate incident where I received injuries that required surgery, time missed from work, lost in pay, pain & suffering, etc. Mike and his entire firm were always very pleasant to talk with, and I always got to talk with a "person" not a machine. Following every conversation... with Mike, he always asked if I had any questions and that I could call or e-mail him about anything at anytime. He made me feel like my case was the most important case he was working on. Mike is very professional in how he carries himself and how he represents his firm. I am very pleased with how my case was resolved, and with the personal attention I was given by Mike. I was kept informed of everything during my entire time with Mike. He is a blessing to me and my family.

Recommendation for Attorney Michael S. Rothrock

Attorney Michael S. Rothrock represented me, Ivey T., in an Auto Accident & Injury case. Attorney Rothrock is very wise, knowledgeable and diverse in North Carolina laws. Throughout the entire legal process, professionalism was shown. His integrity and character was exemplary. He made me feel as ...if my case was top priority; and for that, I am grateful and pleased with the outcome! I recommend Attorney Michael S. Rothrock at Leone, Noble & Seate, LLP to anyone who is in need of an outstanding attorney in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
