Mr. Glisson represented me in my case initially involving a serious car accident and a few broken bones. At the time I hired him, my injuries had healed, I was working, and was in no serious financial danger. The case proceeded accordingly, until I suffered both the loss of my job and the death of my father, who would have been my primary source of financial support while resolving my situation. I was facing homelessness and all manner of personal catastrophe, and needed my settlement put in the express lane, so to speak. Mr. Glisson could not have been more considerate toward me or my situation. He was, to put it mildly, profoundly patient with me at a time when I was (also putting it mildly) an absolute nightmare to deal with. The compassion and understanding he showed me was above and beyond what I would expect from an attorney. I wish I could do more to thank him than this review. He would probably say he was just doing his job, but not all attorneys do their jobs with the understanding that there are real human lives behind the cases they're working. Mr. Glisson is acutely aware that his clients are real people with real problems. He is unique in that regard, and I'm immensely grateful to him.
I worked at a hospital for 38 years. I would take the patients and transport them to surgery. I was going to get a bed to transport a patient, when I tripped and fell on a foot stool that shouldn't have been left the way it was. I broke my left wrist and my right kneecap. I was referred to Mr. Glisson by a co-worker of mine who had hired him for a recent case. Mr. Glisson and his staff were very kind and handled my case with such professionalism. Mr. Glisson helped me through the worker's compensation process, not rushing the process and allowing me to recover before resolving my case. Not only is he knowledgeable in the areas he practices, but he is a genuine person who wants to see good come to people who deserve it. I have already recommended a fellow co-worker who was recently injured. I would highly recommend Mr. Glisson to anyone in search of an attorney!
I have been working since I was 17, I have dropped 165 pounds for my health. I want to live a full and healthy life. Because of someone else's negligence, I took a fall on a wet floor that had been mopped and not properly posted. They said they were sorry and refused to write down my name to contact me about the incident. I ended up in the emergency room from the horrible pain. I had also missed work which caused me to lose some financial stability. I contacted the place of business and was treated like it was no big deal. They refused to pay my doctor bill and after speaking with their lawyer, they were advised they did not have to pay. The only think I was offered, was their consumer services that I had paid for when I took the fall. I have always worked for my money and never sued to get ahead, I only wanted to be relieved of the pain I suffered. I also could not get the medical treatment that I needed that would help find out what the real damage had been. After a month and a half of pain, I went to see Michael Glisson. He was very kind and believed that I should be treated with respect. The damage was much more extensive than a sprain, that I had originally been diagnosed with. I had to have surgery and sustained a fracture in a joint. I am so grateful that Mike listened to me when no one else would. I am able move on with my life and enjoy it without pain I sustained from the slip and fall. Mike helped me in receiving $125,000. He also helped in giving me my dignity back and the respect I deserved in the first place. I would highly recommend Mike!!
Another attorney referred me to Mr. Glisson. Another driver was texting, and rear ended our vehicle. The insurance company said I already had knee damage and did not want to pay for damages. After a lot of work, I had to testify in front of several arbitrators. Very pleased with the result, and I was very grateful to Michael for all of his efforts. Would recommend him and his staff to anyone.
I hired Mike to represent my family after we were struck by a drunk driver - actually a driver high on illegal drugs - in a violent 3 car accident. Very knowledgeable attorney, aggressive attorney, all staff was very helpful, gave us invaluable advice. Concerned with our recovery and the case. Extremely pleased with significant result.
Mr. Glisson has represented my wife and myself in two cases. One case was a hospital fall, and the other that my wife had was a fall case as well. I was very pleased with Mike. He will always treat you fair and treats you like you are part of his family. I have nothing but praise for him and his staff. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of an attorney!
I had a very difficult Personal Injury (fall) case. Mike was there for me from day one until the case was complete. He not only worked with me but also with my family. I appreciate everything he has done for me. After my case was settled, he even recommended a car, because I was in need of one. Most attorneys only care about you when you have a case with them, but Mike went above and beyond in helping me. I do not know what I would have done without him. He not only treated me with the up-most respect but I felt like family to him.
Mr. Glisson has represented me in three personal injury cases - an auto accident, an injury at work, and a fall. He is a man of great integrity, he explains every process thoroughly, he calls and checks up on you and updates with the case. Very personable. I will highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of an attorney. If I had to rate him and his staff (on a scare of 1-10, at a 10 being the highest) I would give them a 10. He is the GREATEST!!!
I had told them about my daughters case in 2015 when the incident took place they agreed I had a case and they started work. I haven't heard from them in 2 years and they finally call me and tell me 2 years later after they have been working my case that they don't have a case. How do you wait 2 years to determine you don't have a case? You couldn't have made that determination within the hour of me explaining my case in 2015? I believe once you hire a lawyer you don't have to keep hounding them let them do their job so I only called maybe 3 times within 2 years. So for them to wait 2 years later to say they don't have a case is ridiculous. I have since gotten a lawyer in Edwardsville who said he just couldn't believe this lawyers unprofessionalism when it came to my child. There is no expense when it comes to my child so paying him was not an issue. I believe he was unknowledgeable about how to present the case and what to do and dropped it 2years later because he didn't know what to do. They played with our time for 2 years just to tell me they don't have a case but you had one when i came into your office and explained the case. They are unprofessional and unknowledgeable so DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!
