Law Offices Of Michael O. Stephenson

After I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle I reached out to Bay Area Bicycle Law to figure out how to proceed. They were happy to discuss the case with me and gave me invaluable advice (for free) just after the accident to make sure I was keeping all the necessary records, etc. Later I decided to hire Michael Stephenson to take on my case. He was friendly and very easy to work with, and made the rest of the settlement process as painless as it possibly could have been. I highly recommend Bay Area Bicycle Law to anyone in the unfortunate situation of needing legal advice and an attorney in this context.

I was hit by a car in SF and the police report had me listed as the party at fault. I missed weeks of work because of a fractured spine. Two large law firms wouldn't take my case on because it wasn't as open and shut as they would have liked. I was lucky to find BABL and Michael Stephenson. From the first meeting, they made me feel at ease. They were confident in their ability to dismiss the police report and worked hard to put together eyewitness testimony. They gave me a lot of options and advice, and ultimately negotiated a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Without a doubt, if you have been in a bike accident, this is the team to call.

After being hit by a car that ran a red light, I called Bay Area Bicycle Law to consult with them on the settlement being proposed by the insurance company for the driver. After turning the case over to them, we successfully negotiated a settlement roughly 3x what was offered (which was clearly insulting). Granted, patience is needed to emerge victorious in these cases, but I was very glad to have an advocate that cares about cyclists and continued to push for a better outcome for me. I definitely can recommend BABL.

BABL fought fiercely for me and helped me get a settlement in my case. The opposing insurance was offering laughable amounts for the pain and suffering I endured. I am grateful to Michael and the team for helping me get to a more reasonable resolution. Definitely worth contacting, and even though their cuts seem too high on the first glance, it is totally worth it. My first experience with a personal injury attorney, and a great one!

Michelle Weiss took over my case after the insurance gave me the run around, kept loosing my papers, 4 different adjusters. I was injured and in trouble! I am big and strong and yet was completely helpless. I was completely overwhelmed, trying to both physically and mentally recover and defend myself against the insurance company that told me that I could represent myself and pretended to be my friend. Michelle, you saved me! You freed me up to focus on my recovery while you held the line with the adjusters and made them take care my case. It meant everything! Smart - Good - Swift - Attentive. These are the words I use to describe the wonderful service provided me by you, and BABL. You Rock! Johnny Boss Robot Hobby, Berkeley Moe's Books, Berkeley
