My personal injury claim was handled in a very competent and professional manner. I hadn't planned on hiring an attorney but when the insurance company refused to work with me, I went to Tario & Associates. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or relatives.
I went to see Michael about a medical malpractice issue that involved the death of my father. Michael was very knowledgeable and responsive to the case. He and his staff were always available and worked diligently to help resolve my case. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone needing a lawyer to advocate for your rights.
Mr. Tario settled my car accident case for 10 times what the insurance company offered me. He is a hard negotiator, while being very honest with me in the progress of my case and what he thought the outcome might be. He gave me solid advice and worked hard from beginning to the end. I would definitely seek Mr. Tario’s help again.
