Client Kate D says, “I needed help with negotiations and my friend found Michael on Yelp. Going into it I was feeling overwhelmed and lost, because I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. I’ve never had an experience talking to a lawyer before and didn’t know what to expect. Michael was very good at explaining things and made me feel comfortable and confident during the process. He was very patient, answered all the questions I had and dealt with an issue to the best of his abilities. We ended up settling my case for an amount I was comfortable with. It took longer than everyone expected it to be but I appreciate Michael’s patience and knowledge. I am very appreciative of his help and happy with the services he provided.”
