Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mike Raymond helped us secure a home owners claim that had been wrongfully denied by our insurance company. Mike’s assistance was very professional, assertive and he also showed real compassion for our dilemma.. Thank you Mike and we certainly recommend you for all that need your services! Dave and Carol
Has a good rapport with clients, made me feel at ease. Was very pleased with the outcome of the settlement. Would definitely use him if ever the need should arise.
After talking to Mike, he had a keen understanding of the issues; came up with a plan, executed it beyond my expectations. I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for great results within reasonable time and economic parameters.
Mike was more than helpful to my husband and I in a very stressful time. He resolved our issues and straightened everything out and was so on top of everything we couldn't be happier!
Me and my wife had a Trumatic experience in a off road accident. Michael was very attentive and concerned throughout the whole process. He was very on top of things and answered any and all questions we had, being it was our first time dealing with a lawyer. Great experience and would definitely recommend!!
One of the best attorneys I have ever dealt with. Handled our personal injury case very professionally, efficiently and cost effectively even though it was not contingency based. Assistant Maria is a good communicator, very detail oriented and very good to work with . Mike prepared a strategy along with expectations and timeframe upfront and met those goals. A great experience overall, handled professionally, quickly and with a good outcome. I highly recommend this firm
My dispute involved a bad-faith claim against my disability insurance for a career ending injury to my spine/neck. After countless physician examinations, x-rays, and tests which substantiated my injury, the insurance company still denied my claim and payments ceased. I am very grateful for the superior representation by my attorney Mike Raymond for reversing their decision. He was extremely knowledgeable and and expeditious to all of my questions and concerns. I felt very confident with him!
I worked directly with Michael on a case regarding a family member of mine who was injured in an accident. He was extremely responsive with all correspondence and available every single time I asked to meet in person to discuss details of the case. I'm confident in his abilities as an attorney and have faith in him as an honest person who looks for opportunities to do the right thing for his clients. I highly recommend his services.
I had lost my son in a car accident, It has been a time of hardships I would not wish upon anyone. There were complications with insurance and distribution of funds. Mike understood all of the areas combined with our case. I am so grateful for his knowledge and how he responded and represented with fairness, honesty and great insight. It was a blessing to have had him guiding me through such a difficult time and situation. Never, not once did I feel he acted without integrity. I highly recommend
