Attorney Testimoinials

Mike Navigato Testimonials I wanted to say thank you. There are people in life who get you through big moments. You will never forget them. For me it has been the doctor who saw me through my pregnancies, our obstetrician, two mentors at work and a couple very close friends of mine who have seen me at my best and worst. You have now been added to that list. You inspire me. Your diligence, intelligence, family values, demeanor, sensitivity, toughness, focus….are admirable. I know it is going to work out the way it should-giving it up to be what it is meant to be. I knew when I left your office that first day, you were the right person to help me through this. You have kept me on track, told me like it is and been a support system. Enjoy the holiday with your family. Again, thank you for all your hard work and dedication with helping me and my kids. K. W. (2014) Michael Navigato represented me a number of years ago through what was a very difficult period. I found him to be responsive, empathetic, thorough, knowledgeable and professional. I felt that I was kept informed throughout the entire process, and right from the beginning I was told what sort of options were available to me. A number of attorneys are technically proficient at what they do, but there are very few that are good at communicating with their clients during a process that may take weeks, months, or even years. I think Michael’s communication skills and technical skills are excellent and I highly recommend him as an attorney. R.C. (2015) I have been a small business owner in the tri-cities area for over 15 years. Mike has helped my business with legal advice on licensing, corporate filings and registration, and non-compete agreements. When a vendor dispute came about, and when a change of partnership shares of our corporation arose, Mike handled the issues efficiently, and above my expectations. Mike really dug in with my staff and myself to understand the small business owner, and then to represent me in a very strong and professional fashion. He has made the ups and downs of owning a business more comfortable, knowing that I had solid and sound legal backing behind my every business move.K. P. (2015)
