COMMUNICATION. Fancy legal talk is annoying. Nobody outside the law understands it. Michael explains complex legal issues in plain English, and provides step-by-step guidance from start to finish. Equally important is the skill of listening to the client. An attorney must be able to take the time to listen and understand the client's story, and the harm that was done. Only then can the attorney effectively argue the case to get maximum compensation.

HAPPY CLIENTS. We have numerous 5-star client reviews on Google and other online platforms that continue to grow. Knowing what past clients have experienced is the best way to know what you're getting.

I was hurt in a car accident and didn't really know where to turn. I did some research and decided to contact Shammas Law Office for an initial discussion. I was so suprised to speak with Michael Shammas himself. He took the time to really talk to me about my case. I knew he was the guy to help me make sure medical bills would not ruin me financially. I was in a car accident in which I was a passenger and a family member was driving. I did not want to sue my family. Michael helped me get all the information needed, and let me choose the right strategy for me and my family. My family member settled with the person who was at fault's insurance company with out a lawyer. He was one of those, I'll do it myself and save money kind of guys. Michael Shammas was able to get me more than 3 times as much than my family member. He made sure my medical bills was paid and even reduced his rate to ensure I got what he thought I should have. Better experience than I could have hoped for in a bad situation. I did not have to pay anything to Shammas Law the whole time. The fee for these services came directly from the settlement. This was fantastic because I did not have the money to retain council. Really, when I think about it, the best part of going with Shammas Law Office was the direct contact I mentioned earlier. When I first called Michael Shammas was who I spoke with. He gave me is personal cell phone number and almost always answered when I called. When he didn't I recieved a call from him shortly after. He was always in contact with me and my wife through out the whole process. I never had to wonder what is going on with my case. It was great. If/ when I need council I will always call him first and recomend him if asked. Hope this review helps you.
