We were recently struck by a drunk driver, and had no previous experience in hiring a lawyer. We simply did not know where to turn. We first reached out to a few radio jingle lawyers and found EACH phone consultation with them to be worse than the one before. You were treated as a number by their staff, and could never get an actual lawyer on the line. Through word of mouth Michael Goldsmith's law firm, thankfully, entered the picture. Out of the gate, Michael was friendly and genuinely interested in learning exactly what we had gone through. Each time we had a question, HE was readily available with a very well educated answer. At no time did he ever speak over our heads. He was clear, concise, and spoke in down to earth terms we could easily understand. He armed us with knowledge, realistic expectations, and his confidence was infectious which was exactly what we needed to win our case...which he did for us, by the way! He was really up on topics, yet remained curious enough to learn exactly what WE wanted/expected during each step of the process. On top of going above and beyond his duties to us, which he did several times, he was aggressive when we needed him to be.....was incredibly hands on addressing every email or call we placed to him...and was "old fashioned" in the sense that he took great pride in making sure that all aspects of his firm were handled with dignity and respect toward us. Each move he made for us was timely, but never hasty and he made sure the decisions we were making proved to be in OUR best interest. Goldsmith proved to be the gold standard in law in our experience....very highly recommended!

I give our lawyer Michael Goldsmith a 5 star rating. He successfully helped my family and my friend’s family with our accident/injury cases. He was attentive, compassionate and I would highly recommend him.

We were represented by Michael due to an auto accident and injury. His service was top notch. He won our case and we are satisfied with the outcome. We would use him again for sure.

Michael was very responsive and attentive, and took care of all the details of my case. He stayed in communication with me throughout the process. He went above and beyond to get the maximum amount of money for my settlement, and his fees for service were fair. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

I was hit by a car and suffered a couple of head injuries. Michael was recommended to me by another attorney. He really does his "homework", is meticulous, and the perfect "squeaky wheel" with the opposition. He also communicates well and got me the settlement I deserved in a short period of time. I would highly recommend Michael!

After another Chicago personal injury attorney turned me down (perhaps because my slip-and-fall case was not a slam-dunk), Michael took it on. The job he did with discovery was absolutely superb, and when it came to negotiation, he was a bulldog! It took time, but in the end Michael got a most satisfactory settlement without going to trial. I would definitely recommend Goldsmith Law firm to anyone needing a personal injury attorney.

Mr. Goldsmith is one of the best lawyers' you can hire. Mr. Goldsmith took over a wrongful death lawsuit for my son after I was dealing with a lawyer I did not trust. Let me just say they were on the 4th or 5th amended complaint, when Michael jumped in and saved the day. I highly recommend Michael Goldsmith.

My experience with Michael was excellent. Michael took my call immediately and describe to me what he would be doing on his end to move my two matters forward quickly and methodically. Michael was professional in every communication yet empathetic. I felt like he was a partner in my two situations. I believe him to have a sensitivity toward people in general. Allison

Michael Goldsmith took my case after I was in a bad accident that required reconstructive work. At the time, I was overwhelmed with doctors' appointments, depressed, and in a lot of pain, so I didn't want to even think about legal action and paperwork. I reluctantly sought legal advice after it became clear that my insurance would not cover all the treatment, and I'd have to pay over $20K in medical bills out of pocket. I couldn't afford the costs on my own. Michael was recommended to me by a friend who had worked with him. Michael was very supportive, and he made everything easy for me -- as easy as it could be under the circumstances. Because I was working full-time and all my medical treatment was like a second full-time job, I couldn't take time off work to travel to Michael's office. Michael worked with me over the phone, and we exchanged documents by email and fax (or mail when necessary). It really made a big difference! When it came to negotiating a settlement, Michael really went to the mat for me. He made sure we included not only current medical bills, but future ones as well -- something I hadn't thought about. Even more importantly, he was honest with me about what would happen if we pursued the case in court -- what the other side's strategy would be, etc. It was clear he had experience on the other side of these cases and could read their game.
