The Timeline of a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit in New York
Thanks for defending me with my DUI. You made a stressful situation much easier to get through. I really appreciate your professionalism and expertise. I would recommend you to anybody who needs a quality attorney! Thanks man!!
Former C.-White Plains, NY
Young, energetic, and the consummate legal professional. He settled our case with an insurance company that is known for digging it’s heels and fighting for every inch. It met its match when mike took our case. He settled our case in a manner that I was completely satisfied with.
Former C.-White Plains, NY
I was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident and sustained severe injuries. A close friend of mine who dealt with Mr. Greenspan and was very happy with his service referred me to him. Mike was very caring right from the beginning, making sure I’m recovering instead of worrying about my case.
Carmen T.-New City, NY
I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which I got injured. I contacted Green span and Greenspan and they were very courteous and supportive through out the whole case duration. I am pleased with the service I got and if some one wants the best representation then Greenspan is the one to choose.
Mendel-New City, NY
I truly can’t thank Michael Greenspan and everyone at Greenspan & Greenspan enough for working so diligently to get us the best possible settlement after my car accident. For me, it was always about getting my life back, or at least getting as much of it back as possible.
