Mike and hes team has gone above and beyond helping my family and me

My family and I faced a tragic loss. We were distraught. We had no idea where to turn. I randomly chose Michael Gannon from the white pages. It was the best decision I could have every made. Not only was he competent and ethical, he was compassionate and genuinely concerned for my family’s wellbeing. He and his staff did all they could to make sure our needs both legally and emotionally were met. My family and I would highly recommend Michael Gannon to anyone looking for a superb lawyer and genuinely sympathetic, kindhearted person. We could not have asked for more…
