Philip Michels Law Santa Monica Ca review signals at a glance

Our family highly recommend Michels and Lew. Our work with Jin and the team was a complete 5 star experience. They are extremely delicate when dealing with highly emotional matters and always made us a priority. Everything was meticulous and thorough. Truly the best professional experience we could have hoped for.

I can't speak too much about the specifics of our case, but I can say that in a diligent process and thorough understanding of our circumstances, Marty and his team expedited our case with a positive outcome. Having never experienced the law process before, my wife and I felt encouraged and comforted because they are an experienced law firm in newborn wrongful death cases, and because Marty and his team were always by our side, readily available via email and on a first phone call answer throughout the process. You won't be disappointed in the attention and care you receive from their law office. Thank you again, Marty, Phil, Rose and Araceli. 🙏

If I could rate Michels and Lew a zero, I would. Two weeks ago, I contacted their office regarding a possible medical malpractice case. They stated their process was to provide a brief synopsis of the facts to one their staff, and an attorney would return a call shortly. The person on the phone stated she was a legal assistant, and asked me a few questions, and said I would hear from Mr. Michels personally. A week later I received an email from a Monica Alonso that my case had been denied. Ms Alonso isn't an attorney, according to the California State Bar, nor does she represent herself as a paralegal. I requested to have Mr. Michels call me directly. It has been a week now. The Michels and Lew website states, "we urge you to have your case reviewed by an attorney with extensive experience in your type of legal challenge before you make any decision. If you would like to speak to a member of our team OR one of our lawyers, please contact our office with the facts of your case". I never got to speak to an attorney. In reading other reviews, this seems to be their M.O...to have uneducated flunkies deal with vulnerable victims in pain and suffering, sit in their high posh offices on Whilshire Blvd., and cherry pick cases they know are lucrative and easy to win. The website goes on to state, "our clients have experienced brain injury, paralysis, third-degree burns, loss of an infant in childbirth, sexual abuse and other catastrophic injuries. Without exception, they have experienced tragedies before they enter our offices. Our lawyers and staff members are sensitive to these situations. For that reason our service does not stop in the courtroom—we are committed to providing our clients with the support and services they need to cope with the legal process, to get the medical and rehabilitative care they need and to rebuild their lives after their cases are resolved. Victims of tragedy should be afforded a life of dignity and the best medical care available with absolutely no out-of-pocket expenses". This was not my experience. Don't give these attorneys the time of day. K. Wayne Loud, L.P.C., L.M.F.T., C.E.O., private practice.

Excellent at what they do for their clients!

We are very grateful and satisfied with all the help you have given us. You are very professional people who cared about our case and helped us resolve it so quickly and satisfactorily. Thank you very much for helping us achieve justice.

I cannot thank this Firm enough for all they did for my family. They are very knowledgeable and we always felt we were in the best hands.

I would like to say that they provide excellent service. They handled my daughter's case for two years, and during that time they kept me informed about all the progress and guided me every step of the way. My family and I are very grateful to them and are very happy that everything turned out well and we can now move forward with our lives. Thank you, Monica, Michels, and Lew.

If it’s not a case they want they don’t even let you know. They tell you they will get back to you and just don’t. I waited a week to follow up and at that point was informed they denied the case. Unfortunate.

My wife called this attorney two weeks ago was told she would get a call right back from the attorney himself never heard a word. Must be like most attorneys and not care and just care about the big money cases! I would never recommend this office to anyone who actually wants to get help. It’s sad and pathetic when grown men are lying to women saying they’re going to call them and help them during an emergency situation and choose to never call. My wife is terminally ill and made that clear and explained that the pharmacy was withholding life-threatening medication apparently that wasn’t enough for this attorney to take the case seriously. Even though it’s in complete violation of ADA regulations maybe the attorney doesn’t know that how sad and pathetic.

I can not say enough about the team that handled my legal case. From the initial intake meetings, through the various depositions and discovery meetings, and into the settlement talks and follow-ups. They were always professional, but more importantly, they were always personable. I never felt like I was just a case number with a dollar amount attached to it. And while this was an overwhelming situation and set of circumstances for myself, they have been supportive through it all. They helped me believe that my case had merit, when other firms did not. I am both very thankful for them, and extremely appreciative.

I’m a client in Michels & Lew. I would like to say about my experience working with them . I never had any doubts about my case because they were on top of everything and always kept me inform . Any questions I ever had they had the patience to answer and explain to me anything about my case. I would totally recommend to family and friends . Thank you very much Monica & Araceli for always making feel like part of your family. Great customer service. I love how they explain everything to you detail by detail . I would give them 10/10 . Thanks you once again Michels & Lew for a great experience and great customer service with your employees .

I want to thank the lawyer and his team for helping me and my family through our tragic situation. My father suffered so much due to medical negligence. No one wanted to give us answers about what happened, but the lawyer took our case and resolved it. Now we are so grateful for his services. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and may you continue helping people in need. God bless you.
