"Michael represented me in a traffic case this year. He was incredibly responsive and thorough with his research of my case and had me fully prepared both for the trial as well as going to trial in the virtual world. Sitting through the cases it was obvious not all lawyers knew the expectations of trial virtually. Hopefully I do not have any further needs but will continue to consult Michael Goldfaden as necessary in the future. He went above and beyond "5 stars"

"As a lawyer who practices business law, I am always looking to network and meet great lawyers in different practice areas. I was introduced to Mike through a good friend and immediately recognized Mike as an expert. Whenever I have a question for Mike regarding personal injury he responds immediately and provides top notch advisement. I have referred Mike a number of potential clients and each one has called me back to thank me for the referral and praise his responsiveness, expertise, and professionalism."

"I was injured at work and Michael went above and beyond to help me win my case. He and his assistant, Christina, were accessible, trustworthy, and transparent. His rate was lower than others'. Without Michael, I am positive I would have won less or, more likely, nothing at all. I will request his services first whenever I need them again. I was lucky to have him in my corner. In fact, this was my first positive lawyer experience -- haha. Thanks, Mike!! I will vouch for you any time."

"Michael and his assistant Christina are both very helpful. We had Michael as an attorney on our last case and he is super diligent always calling in to keep you up to speed and informed. I’ve had attorneys in the past that you never hear from or only hear from their assistant but Michael goes out of his way to stay connected with his clients. We are more than satisfied with our experience. Knowing how great his work is has left us feeling stress free about our decision to retain him again."
