also known as Mike Soto
I believe that everyone needs a a little help when times are tough. That's why my practice is focused on helping people who have been injured: whether they were hurt at work, in a motor vehicle accident, or just out and about.
I believe that sometimes you need someone to fight for you. Insurance companies are in business to make money, not to pay it out. My goal in every case is to ensure my clients get all the benefits they deserve. As a former insurance defense lawyer, I know how insurance companies operate and use that knowledge to our advantage.
I believe that clients are people, not cases. People hire lawyers because they don't know how the law works. Many times though, they don't know their lawyer and don't understand how the process works, but are expected to do whatever their lawyer says. If you are my client, I am your attorney. You are not handed off to some other lawyer and your case isn't handled by a claims manager. I do this so that I understand the individual wants and needs of each client. When it's time to make the tough decisions, my clients have a trusted advisor who can answer their questions and a partner to work with them in making the right decisions.

Mike Soto was my attorney on a case. He was very unprofessional. The case was finally completed in January 2019. To date Mike Soto has not paid the medical bills. I spoke with him in July and he stated it was an oversight. It's August and the medical providers are now calling me.

Me Soto and his staff were outstanding in guiding me through the difficult process of having my injuries addressed by my employer with no out of pocket fees. Communication was excellent and timely.

Mike Soto represented my husband for a Comp case in NC. We were dealing with an assault on the job where my husband suffered a head injury. Mike was patient with my husband. He made the process as easy as possible. He interjected laughter when we needed it. Mike was able to negotiate a settlement, wh...

Micheal Soto was the second attorney that I had during my case. The original firm and attorney I had hired was very disappointing, unprofessional and NOT proficient in pursuing my case. I made a life changing choice to change attorneys during my case. Ironically, Mike also made a life changing choice...

An injury can change your life. When I first got hurt on the job I did not hire legal counsel because I was being honest and did not feel as if I needed to. WRONG!!! I was so naive. I had no clue on how to look for an attorney or how the process works and didn't want to trust anyone. After 2 lawy...
