Mike helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. It can be scary battling a big corporation, but I felt like I was always in control with Mike in my corner. I was being bullied and harassed in a work environment that was extremely hostile. Attorney McMinn was professional, knowledgeable and confident. The fact that I worked for one of the largest companies in the world didn’t intimidate Mike for a second. Mike is a top-notch communicator who is decisive and extremely well organized. He is amazingly attentive and always made me feel like he was devoting 100% of his time to my case. He went above and beyond, often returning my calls after hours to accommodate my schedule. Most importantly, Mike was able to win a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. Overall, I found my experience with Michael McMinn to be a very positive one, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is in need of an advocate and partner to defend their employee rights.

From the first phone call with Michael, he listened understood to my situation he gave me professional as well as human advice. He was understanding and made a flexible arraignment with my retainer. He told me what to expect at every stage of dealing with my case. He didn't force any decisions. He made all of my options clear. He is responsive and transparent my case was not easy for anyone. Life, death of a child, empathy, and abuse of power all during a pandemic. I am more than confident that Michael was the best choice for my case. He is a good person first and foremost who became an attorney. I highly recommend him.
