My husband and I were on vacation when things turned ugly. I had an accident and broke my ankle. Needless to say our vacation was ruined! My son recommended Michael to handle my injury case, which turned out to be the best suggestion ever given to me! During our first conversation, Michael calmed my nerves and took the time to explain the process of going through an injury case, and answered all my questions. He would call to give me regular updates on progress, and also just to check up on me and see how I was doing with my recovery. I felt like I was dealing with a friend and not just some typical attorney. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the injury and the medical aspects of my case. He fought extremely hard for me. The responsible company (large multinational corporation) tried to lowball me with their offers, but Michael never backed down and kept fighting. When we settled (6 figures) it was much more than I could have imagined! I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney. Dealing with an injury is very tough both physically and emotionally. Michael really stepped up for us. I am very thankful for his dedication to my case! Janice K. read more

When my wife was hit by a car while walking across the street she suffered several injuries, we were distraught but knew we needed legal help. I found attorney Michael Shammas. From the beginning, we felt he was concerned about our welfare, invested in our case and wanted to get us a JUST resolution for us. We felt like a load was lifted off our shoulders. Mike answered all our calls and reassured us that he will make sure everything would be alright. He gave us counsel and helped locate doctors, clinics, and therapists for my wife. He took care of all the paperwork. My wife was off work for several months and the bills were piling up but mike explained the whole process in detail and he went above and beyond for us. He was straightforward about what our possibilities and resolutions were without making false promises, which was refreshing. We feel beyond happy and fortunate that we had an attorney who through his thoughtful and dedicated approach, helped us reach a VERY just resolution. I would sincerely recommend Mike to everyone seeking a detail oriented, knowledgeable, and experienced attorney to represent them in their personal injury case. Juan W. & Claudia A read more

I hired Michael Shammas after a brief phone conversation about my case. I appreciated Michael's confidence and reassurance during a time that I was feeling overwhelmed, and knew that I needed help. Every phone call and email were answered within 24 hours, and Michael would continue to keep me updated. I worried about my case dragging on and on, and worried about having to take more time off of work to get through it. I never needed to drive to the office, (my choice) everything was done over the phone and email, which I appreciated. Surprisingly to me, Michael had my settlement in less than a year. I was happy that it was over, and didn't consume my life any longer. I am very happy with my decision to hire Michael Shammas to represent me. read more

I was hit hard from behind in an auto accident only one week prior to my 25th birthday, but my resulting back pain made me feel like I was twice that age.

Michael was introduced to me via another lawyer in when they felt Michael would be more successful in resolving our case. Almost a year after our accident our bills still went unpaid and the other person's insurance company tried to close the case. With Michael's persistance and time, he not only was successful in getting the company to settle but with a substantial payout on our behalf that was beyond what we could have hoped to receive. He constantly kept us up date on what was happening and always provided profession advise that was in our best interest. read more
