Reviews for Michael
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I am a police officer whose cruiser was struck during a drive to a crime scene. I had a slipped disc in my back and a herniated disc in my neck as well as tears in my knee that will require surgery. I was very nervous about hiring an attorney for the first time, but this one was over and above anything I could have expected. I didn't have to do any of the legwork and I never had to chase information, I was always kept informed. I'm very happy with the outcome.
My car was hit by a boro cab in Manhattan, resulting in several spinal injuries. Especially for the first attorney I've ever had to hire, I felt very attended to and like the staff was exceptionally professional and caring. I was always able to contact someone, no matter what. Michael himself really seems to care about each individual client. I've already recommended him and his firm to friends.
I was rear ended and ended up seriously injured requiring surgery on my shoulders and medical machinery at home on top of regular physical therapy. It still bothers me even now.I was really nervous hiring my first lawyer. I didn't want to get anyone in trouble, but I needed care. Mr. Lamonsoff reassured me and kept me very well informed. My 10-year-old son now wants to be a lawyer just like Mr. Lamonsoff. He says a lawyer is "someone who helps people." Mr. Lamonsoff the best lawyer in New York.
My vehicle was struck by two different cars in a pile-up accident in February of last year. I suffered serious injuries to my lower back and am still in physical therapy for the pain. I was really surprised at how quick and simple everything was. Everyone at this office really knows what they're doing and I am so happy with the results. They always answer the phone, they always get back to you, everything is very organized. Highly recommend.
I had a serious shoulder injury after a hit and run motorcycle accident in 2012. We went to trial after about three years of deliberation. My attorneys at the Law Offices of Michael Lamonsoff made an absolute fool out of the guy who ran me down (who was eventually caught) when he was on the stand. We dominated in court and I felt like I had the absolute best representation I could've had, especially at trial and in front of a jury. This office goes above and beyond any other attorney I've seen.
I was hit by an illegal uturn, striking the car I was driving on the driver's side. I injured my neck and shoulder, which required physical therapy and left me in a lot of pain. I was recommended to Mr. Lamonsoff through my dad, who was a very satisfied client in a former case. This firm is so quick and really respectful to its clients. Everything was clear and on the table and I always knew exactly what was going on in the case. They are an amazing firm.
I was falsely arrested and kept in jail for two days for something I didn't do. I heard Michael Lamonsoff giving an interview about a case like mine and I thought he might be able to help me. He didn't make me wait, he didn't treat me like a criminal, he respected me and got my case done fast and right. I am really happy and would recommend him to anyone.
I'm a recent client of Michael S. Lamonsoff,his office did a GREAT JOB!!!! in handling my case. I never expected my settlement to be so substantial!!!, I am so happy and will recommend this Law Office to anyone who has a slip and fall accident. Everyone is so warm and friendly and extremely helpful.
He and his staff are personable and are able to get all information pertinent to your case. Follow-up is great and once your case is over, they still give you a call to check on you. This is a great firm to represent anyone dealing with a legal or personal injury lawsuit.
