Mr. Janes took the information I had to start out with and let me know that these type of cases were very hard to do anything with but he would review my case and see what he could do. He immediately started getting all my records. I had already asked for all of them but had not been given all of them. It took a while to get them because the company that had some of them didn't seem to want to let me have them, but Mr. Janes was able to persuade them that they had to let me have them. Everyone I spoke with that was assisting Mr. Janes was so helpful and easy to deal with. Mr. Janes was always available for me if I needed to talk with him and also the others that worked on my case. When it got down to settling for an amount, he was able to get a lot of the Medicare charges taken off of the amount I had to pay them back. He never tried to pressure me into accepting anything. It was totally my decision but he supported me with what I decided to do. Him and his team made this process as easy for me as I think it could possibly be. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and how it was handled.

Very professional and helped us through a very difficult time after an accident. It was easy to get in touch when questions arose and helped us move forward with confidence.

Chris, Melanie and the rest of the team, are top quality individuals working hard for your family and you. They have answered every fear and worry along the way. Very sympathetic and understanding of the situation and helped me through one of the hardest things I have dealt with. Helping make sure my daughter won't have to struggle that much so that she can live a comfortable life. Though we lost so much including my youngest daughter, they gave us a hope! Chris and his team, I personally recommend time and time again. Absolutely wonderful people! Thank you guys for all you all have done and continue to do for us.

I decided to use Michael's and Booth when I was in an accident on Destin bridge after I had just bought a new car and his insurance decided they were not going to pay for some of the stuff I had done on my car. I was so mad and then the insurance company kept sending paperwork for me to sign and close the account. I got very worried because I didn't understand everything. So I contacted Michael's and Booth for guidance and let me tell you-- I'm so very glad I did! It took awhile but in the end Mr. Jane got me all the money for my car and alot more! My medical was covered and surgery and when I needed some advice his team was so encouraging and helpful! I will always be grateful for their encouragement and help through my ordeal and would recommend them to whoever will listen! Thank you again!

I'm going to leave it short and sweet. It took a little time although in the long run it was well worth the wait. These defense Attorneys attempt everything possible in order to receive the most favorable outcome for their clients. However when it's all said and done Mr. Jane's and the firm of Michael & Booth are second to none equipped with the tools and strategies needed to satisfy their clients.

There's so much I want to say about Attorney Christopher Janes, but I'm only allotted so much space. Professional, Dedicated, Prompt, Courteous and Hardworking are just a few things I noticed about Mr. Janes early on in my case. He kept me updated on changes, delays, as well as progress. I didn't have to wonder what was going on, he'd call me sometimes in between flights just to keep me updated, and would always end the conversation by saying if there's anything you need to know, feel free to call me or my staff anytime. It shows that he's passionate about what he does, he genuinely cares for his clients. I couldn't have hired a better attorney. I'm overly satisfied with the outcome of my case, and I recommend him highly. Thanks Mr. Janes for all you do!

I am very pleased to recommend Mr. James to anyone looking for an aggressive, knowledgeable, successful and very personable personal injury lawyer. I am a retired attorney who sustained a serious slip and fall injury caused by the negligence from a retail store owner's product display. As I was recovering, I made a decision to personally attempt a suitable recovery amount from the insurance company. Liability was not an issue. I figured my experience would allow me to reach a proper conclusion to my case. I was wrong. The insurance adjuster delayed any negotiations for months, and when she finally made an unreasonable and insulting offer to settle, I decided to hire Mr. Janes to handle my case. I had worked with him several years earlier and personally witnessed him at work. He always impressed me by the way he handled his clients from first interview to the closing of their files. And he always reviewed the progress of client files to make sure there were no untimely delays. And, on occasion when no settlement is going to be made, he will prepare and go to trial for his clients. That is very important. Mr. Janes, once he sent his letter of representation to the adjuster that I had been unsuccessfully been dealing with, was able to settle my case in a short period of time. I am very happy with what he has done for me. I recommend him without hesitation.

Thank you Mr. Janes for your diligence and professionalism in getting me a settlement that was beyond my expectations. I was kept a breast with all aspects of my case by either you or Michelle. The entire staff in the Fort Walton Beach office always made me feel like family. Thanks again fo all that you did for me. I would highly recommend your firm to all my family and friends.

Could not ask for a better experience. From the first day I called to my settlement date The firm was on my side.. Angela Erwin was the person who translated all Mr Janes messages . Out Standing!!! . I Received the max pay out of insurance coverage in 6 months. No firm could have gotten me more..... You can only get what the max coverage has. So don't listen to lawers who say I got you a million dollars for your case , it's all about the amount of coverage you have and what the other driver has. Best firm you could hire.. Joe Farran
