Client Testimonials
“Immediately after my son’s injury at work, he was
treated poorly. Over the course of the next few days
it became even worse, so I called Mike and he and
Crystal have been absolute lifesavers during the
process. Mike is not your typical stuffed suit lawyer
who only cares about the bottom line he genuinely
cares about his clients and his assistant Crystal is
beyond amazing! My thanks to you both!”

“I could never ask for a better attorney, to fight for
me, to believe in me, and have faith in me, than what
I found in Mike Sabbeth, He doesn’t treat you like a
client, he treats you as if you are one of his own family
members, He will fight for you, with all he has, and
is ALWAYS up front and honest with you about
everything!”
