Words cannot express my gratitude for what Attorney Michael Block has done for me with the worst workmans comp case and with the worst work comp insurance company ever! He worked diligently to represent me with tenacity and perseverance I myself found amazing. It has been 8 long years, and Michael remaind positive that we would prevail. I must also give credit to his assistant Diane, who help keep me sane during this case. She is the best. I am not saying this just because he won my case, I am saying this because it’s absolutely true. I have and will continue to highly recommend Michael Block to all of my family, friends, and aquientences. I am grateful that Michael Block is an excellent Attorney and was there to represent me.

Mr. Block was outstanding! He was thorough, explained everything the first day I met with him. For a very complicated workers compensation case he came through with the win. I cannot thank him enough.
