Michael J Forrester

As a police officer in north jersey, I sustained serious injuries in the line of duty. Mike demonstrated exceptional knowledge in workers compensation matters and was able to attain me a worthy settlement that ensures I receive medical treatment into the future for my injuries. Throughout the proce...ss, the staff and Mike himself, were beyond attentive and informative, answering any questions I had immediately. He was professional, personable, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services.

Michael Forrester was the only single positive throughout a long miserable journey that was purposely exacerbated by a Township and administration that attempted every trick in the book to avoid their legal responsibilities. I was a seasoned police officer who was seriously hurt at work several time...s, had numerous major surgeries, and was eventually forced to retire on an accidental disability. Thankfully Mike was recommended to me early on and I immediately retained him upon our 1st meeting, and even switched representation from another respected attorney at that time as Mike was superior in every way. Mike is everything you could ask for when requiring legal representation that will decide the rest of your and your family’s life, and in my situation he far exceeded anything I could have asked for. Every question and concern; whether it was through email, a call, or a text always received a response and was never ignored, as he is constantly available and responds nearly immediately. It’s almost as if he doesn’t sleep, as his emails come at all hours of the night and are received before the sun comes up. The best part about Mike is he is not only exceptional at what he does and has the vision to anticipate the opposing counsels’ moves, but he does everything with supreme professionalism and his mannerism throughout his field and courtroom is second to none and visibly appreciated by his peers. I don’t write reviews, but felt compelled as my family and I are deeply grateful for all of Mike’s diligent work and how he saw the end result years in advance and walked us through those miserable times. Mike’s work secured my accidental disability, ensured our workman’s comp claims received maximum payments, and also handled our underinsured claims to full coverage payouts. There was not a single award not granted under his guidance, and he never lost sight of the finish line. If you are in need of an attorney to represent you, look no further and hire Mike Forrester immediately!

Please be advised that my case was very complex and unique due to the fact that I filed for accidental Disability after the five year manifestation period after sustaining a career ending back injury while performing my duties as a police officer. After consulting with other PBA lawyers, I was advise...d that this case was too complex even with all of my medical records and a double fusion back surgery. Thankfully, I was referred to and had a consultation with Mr. Mike Forrester. Mr. Forrester took his Time, answered all of my questions and concerns. Mr. Forrester further took my medical records, reviewed them thoroughly, and after a few days, called to tell me that he was very confident with the case. Mr. Forrester is very meticulous in everything that he does, and goes above and beyond for his clients as proven with my case. After preparing my case and writing an incredible summary brief to the Pension Board, I was awarded Accidental Disability right off the bat approximately seven months later. I highly recommend Mr. Forrester and my family and I thank him for a job well done.

Mr.Forrester is efficient,accurate & honest. He handled my extremely difficult workers'compensation case. This case lingered for 6 years. Mike fought for me and made sure I was taken care of. When it came time for each operation, he made sure I went to the surgeons I trusted, my rehabilitation was ta...ken care of, and was always available. Whether it is a question, comment or general concern, he is very reliable and reassuring. On another matter, Mr.Forrester represented me in a personal injury lawsuit. He handles himself in a professional manner when it comes to depositions & the courtroom. He is in total control. His secretary is courteous & efficient as well. I would highly recommend this firm.

I hired Mr. Forrester to handle my personal injury claim from an automobile accident. He was extremely helpful and thorough throughout the process. He and his staff were very knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and respectful to my needs and well being. I would highly recommend his services. ... Tony Chiusolo
