Michael Kramer provided excellent counsel. His experience with GA PSC and his wise understanding of legal matters enhanced his deep commitment to represent good educators dedicated to their professions. His handing of my case produced a fairer outcome than what would have been. Michael is a terrific choice to represent educators when negotiating with GA PSC.
Michael's legal knowledge of public education and certification issues with the PSC and his ability to work with the Attorney General's office was outstanding. He did an excellent job of preparing me step by step for what was next and, provided me with constant feedback. He made me feel comfortable and confident about my situation. If there was something he was not sure of he found the answer. His past experience and relationships with the PSC allowed him to help me navigate my way through a stressful situation, which ended up in a very favorable and positive outcome.
I had experienced an injury on the job and attempted to navigate the process on my own. Unfortunately, the process was more difficult than I thought and the insurance company was not being very responsive. I was referred to Michael and from the first meeting I felt very comfortable about his representation. He made sure to explain each step of the process and was very responsive whenever I had questions. Because of Michael's representation, I received a very favorable settlement that I would not have received had I not hired Michael. I would highly recommend anyone who is dealing with workers compensation to hire Michael as their attorney. You will not regret it.
I was rescently injured on my job and realized that dealing with my employers insurance company was more than I could handle. I contacted Michael Kramer of Buckley & Beal to represent me and He went to work immediately making sure that I was provided the best medical care , getting my weekly payments from workers comp started and he took time to copy me on every email involving my case. Each time I called Mr. Kramer he personally took my call or called my back the same day. He explained every detail in ways that I understood and he took time to listen to me. At the end of my case his hard work got me a settlement that was over and above anything I expected . Mr .Kramer showed me that he really do care about his clients and work very hard at taking care of them through the entire process. He really should be the example for others in his field to follow. Thank you Mr. Kramer for taking care of me.
In any field, there are a select group of professionals that operate on a higher plane than their peers. Michael Kramer is one of those exceptional few in the field of law. I met with another top educational lawyer in Atlanta that recommended Michael’s representation because my union (GAE) did not contract with her but did with Michael. (I later learned that Michael served as the GAE’s general counsel for 15 years. In other words, he was the GAE’s lawyer when they had legal concerns.) My case dealt with a new principal trying to bully me into resigning by fabricating extremely low evaluation scores and ignoring ADA protections. This was after 16.5 years of sterling evaluations and as a tenured teacher. This principal had previously done the same to others. Once I contacted Michael, he came up with a brilliant legal strategy that addressed my concerns with the school system and principal without having a hearing or a court case. This strategy was developed within four hours of our first conversation, and it was successful! Michael was not only brilliant, but he took a personal interest in my family and me at each step. He kept us informed, and was responsive to the myriad of questions and e-mails we sent him. No doubt, my case was not the most lucrative for Michael since it was sponsored by the GAE. However, I never felt like I was getting anything less than his best. Before I requested Michael’s representation, I read 75 different reviews of him on different lawyer sites. All gave him perfect marks! I can't think of anyone or anything reviewed where at least one person out of 75 doesn't at least give a 4 out of 5, especially anonymous ones on the Internet. 75 out of 75 perfect Internet reviews is so improbable that it’s on the level of winning the lottery. Even so, those reviews are accurate depictions of our experience under Michael’s representation. I give Michael Kramer my highest recommendation, and should you need legal representation, you will be fortunate if he takes your case.
Michael is an amazing lawyer. From the first moment I met with him he made me feel like I was very important to him. He took the time to learn about me and my case. He knowledge of the law is remarkable and I am very glad to have used his services. He is a personable man and i would recommend his services with very high regard.
Mr. Kramer understood my desire to preserve the career I worked so very hard for. More importantly, he read me correctly and understood that I was beyond worried and needed to be kept up-to-date on each step in my case. My questions were consistently answered promptly and concisely. He settled my anxieties and calmed my fears in the way that only hard-working, empathetic, and tenacious attorneys can do. He attentively listened; I never felt rushed or that I was asking nonsense questions. He ultimately encouraged me to look forward to a finish line that I had just about given up on seeing. No one wants to find themselves in adverse situations however, I would recommend Michael Kramer as he is the consummate professional and will assuredly get the job done!!!
Nearly two years ago, I arrived as a fresh-faced teacher at APS, one of the most troublesome districts in the state of Georgia. Unfortunately, I did not let their unscrupulous reputation stop me from accepting employment within their district, because of a significant increase in salary. Initially, I received warning after warning from my professional teaching peers that the larger salary was “combat pay”. Not long after arriving at APS I realized that APS’ culture was nothing like the previous school district I worked for. Staffed by an entrenched administration who were hell-bent on doing things the way they had always been done in APS. Like hiring their friends for positions they were not qualified for, isolating and ostracizing honest teachers who wanted no part in the sorority-like fraternity, and creating a toxic work environment for all the teachers who fell outside of their zone of exclusion. God forbid if you were really there to teach, you automatically went under the radar as a threat to the established order (or disorder). It wasn’t long before I was target of the administration, because they had not better things to do. The principal would repeatedly call me to the office to confront me, not ask, about hearsay and gossip (none pertaining to the actual job, for which we are paid to do). Things deteriorated to the point that they began to make up false allegations against me, mock, belittled me and engage in slander. When these tactics failed I was then given vague objectives, no to little feedback, and was essentially being prepped and set-up to fail. After the allegations were placed against me I was removed from the classroom and placed down at the district. I was advised to contact an attorney, which I did not do, because I had faith in the system and the fact that I was innocent of the false allegations. I assumed that once the investigators read my version of what happened that they would be able to clearly see what was done to me, that couldn’t have been further from the truth. After sitting at the region for 5 months, mind you I had only been teaching there for 1 year, APS told me to resign or they would terminate me, because they agreed with the allegations. I was advised by APS that no matter which way I took both paths qualified me to be reported to PSC. It was at that point that I knew that I needed an attorney. I started looking for an attorney by word of mouth and I was referred to several, but once APS reported me to the PSC and I saw that the PSC offered me a revocation, I knew right there and then that I needed a great attorney. A friend of mine told me to go to google and conduct a search for an educational lawyer in which I bumped into Michael Kramer. I dissected him inside out and I loved what I read about him. I was even more intrigued to see that one of the reviews that I read sounded very similar to what I was dealing with and that Mr. Kramer obtained favorable results for them. I printed up all of the reviews that were done on Mr. Kramer and kept it by my side to read them as if studying him was a bible course. It was the weekend when I found his info and Monday couldn’t come fast enough. Every time my spirit was low I reread the reviews on Mr. Kramer and it lifted me up. His 32+ years of experience was another perk for me in accepting him as my attorney. I figure after 32 years you know what you are doing at this point and figured that he could help me. I contacted his office, told them what I was dealing with. We set up a meeting time and I went to his office. After talking to Mr. Kramer I felt good about the decision that I made to choose Mr. Kramer as my attorney. After a long fight, my case is finally over and my faith has been restored always by God, but God used Mr. Kramer to bless me in so many ways. I won my case thanks to Mr. Kramer and the outcome ruled in my favor to keep a valid teaching license and be able to go back to teaching. I would recommend Mr. Kramer!
Mr. Kramer helped me to settle an unjust termination dispute with my school. He was very thorough in researching the details surrounding my termination. He was very direct and clear with his questions, but sensitive to the difficult time I was having. In a short time, he had reached an amicable agreement on the terms of my departure from the school that were very beneficial to me. I would highly recommend him.
Michael is a wonderful attorney. He helped me during a very difficult time when my employment was ended abruptly for false cause. He showed genuine concern for me as his client and was very patient answering all my questions. He's extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. I am extremely happy with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Michael.

Not long after arriving at APS I realized that APS’ culture was nothing like the previous school district I worked for. Staffed by an entrenched administration who were hell-bent on doing things the way they had always been done in APS. Like hiring their friends for positions they were not qualified for, isolating and ostracizing honest teachers who wanted no part in the sorority-like fraternity, and creating a toxic work environment for all the teachers who fell outside of their zone of exclusion. God forbid if you were really there to teach, you automatically went under the radar as a threat to the established order (or disorder). It wasn’t long before I was target of the administration, because they had not better things to do. The principal would repeatedly call me to the office to confront me, not ask, about hearsay and gossip (none pertaining to the actual job, for which we are paid to do). Things deteriorated to the point that they began to make up false allegations against me, mock, belittled me and engage in slander. When these tactics failed I was then given vague objectives, no to little feedback, and was essentially being prepped and set-up to fail. After the allegations were placed against me I was removed from the classroom and placed down at the district. I was advised to contact an attorney, which I did not do, because I had faith in the system and the fact that I was innocent of the false allegations. I assumed that once the investigators read my version of what happened that they would be able to clearly see what was done to me, that couldn’t have been further from the truth. After sitting at the region for 5 months, mind you I had only been teaching there for 1 year, APS told me to resign or they would terminate me, because they agreed with the allegations. I was advised by APS that no matter which way I took both paths qualified me to be reported to PSC. It was at that point that I knew that I needed an attorney. I started looking for an attorney by word of mouth and I was referred to several, but once APS reported me to the PSC and I saw that the PSC offered me a revocation, I knew right there and then that I needed a great attorney. A friend of mine told me to go to google and conduct a search for an educational lawyer in which I bumped into Michael Kramer. I dissected him inside out and I loved what I read about him. I was even more intrigued to see that one of the reviews that I read sounded very similar to what I was dealing with and that Mr. Kramer obtained favorable results for them. I printed up all of the reviews that were done on Mr. Kramer and kept it by my side to read them as if studying him was a bible course. It was the weekend when I found his info and Monday couldn’t come fast enough. Every time my spirit was low I reread the reviews on Mr. Kramer and it lifted me up. His 32+ years of experience was another perk for me in accepting him as my attorney. I figure after 32 years you know what you are doing at this point and figured that he could help me. I contacted his office, told them what I was dealing with. We set up a meeting time and I went to his office. After talking to Mr. Kramer I felt good about the decision that I made to choose Mr. Kramer as my attorney. After a long fight, my case is finally over and my faith has been restored always by God, but God used Mr. Kramer to bless me in so many ways. I won my case thanks to Mr. Kramer and the outcome ruled in my favor to keep a valid teaching license and be able to go back to teaching. I would recommend Mr. Kramer!
Mr. Kramer helped me to settle an unjust termination dispute with my school. He was very thorough in researching the details surrounding my termination. He was very direct and clear with his questions, but sensitive to the difficult time I was having. In a short time, he had reached an amicable agreement on the terms of my departure from the school that were very beneficial to me. I would highly recommend him.
Michael is a wonderful attorney. He helped me during a very difficult time when my employment was ended abruptly for false cause. He showed genuine concern for me as his client and was very patient answering all my questions. He's extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. I am extremely happy with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Michael.
Michael Kramer provided excellent counsel. His experience with GA PSC and his wise understanding of legal matters enhanced his deep commitment to represent good educators dedicated to their professions. His handing of my case produced a fairer outcome than what would have been. Michael is a terrific choice to represent educators when negotiating with GA PSC.
Michael's legal knowledge of public education and certification issues with the PSC and his ability to work with the Attorney General's office was outstanding. He did an excellent job of preparing me step by step for what was next and, provided me with constant feedback. He made me feel comfortable and confident about my situation. If there was something he was not sure of he found the answer. His past experience and relationships with the PSC allowed him to help me navigate my way through a stressful situation, which ended up in a very favorable and positive outcome.
I had experienced an injury on the job and attempted to navigate the process on my own. Unfortunately, the process was more difficult than I thought and the insurance company was not being very responsive. I was referred to Michael and from the first meeting I felt very comfortable about his representation. He made sure to explain each step of the process and was very responsive whenever I had questions. Because of Michael's representation, I received a very favorable settlement that I would not have received had I not hired Michael. I would highly recommend anyone who is dealing with workers compensation to hire Michael as their attorney. You will not regret it.
I was rescently injured on my job and realized that dealing with my employers insurance company was more than I could handle. I contacted Michael Kramer of Buckley & Beal to represent me and He went to work immediately making sure that I was provided the best medical care , getting my weekly payments from workers comp started and he took time to copy me on every email involving my case. Each time I called Mr. Kramer he personally took my call or called my back the same day. He explained every detail in ways that I understood and he took time to listen to me. At the end of my case his hard work got me a settlement that was over and above anything I expected . Mr .Kramer showed me that he really do care about his clients and work very hard at taking care of them through the entire process. He really should be the example for others in his field to follow. Thank you Mr. Kramer for taking care of me.
In any field, there are a select group of professionals that operate on a higher plane than their peers. Michael Kramer is one of those exceptional few in the field of law. I met with another top educational lawyer in Atlanta that recommended Michael’s representation because my union (GAE) did not contract with her but did with Michael. (I later learned that Michael served as the GAE’s general counsel for 15 years. In other words, he was the GAE’s lawyer when they had legal concerns.) My case dealt with a new principal trying to bully me into resigning by fabricating extremely low evaluation scores and ignoring ADA protections. This was after 16.5 years of sterling evaluations and as a tenured teacher. This principal had previously done the same to others. Once I contacted Michael, he came up with a brilliant legal strategy that addressed my concerns with the school system and principal without having a hearing or a court case. This strategy was developed within four hours of our first conversation, and it was successful! Michael was not only brilliant, but he took a personal interest in my family and me at each step. He kept us informed, and was responsive to the myriad of questions and e-mails we sent him. No doubt, my case was not the most lucrative for Michael since it was sponsored by the GAE. However, I never felt like I was getting anything less than his best. Before I requested Michael’s representation, I read 75 different reviews of him on different lawyer sites. All gave him perfect marks! I can't think of anyone or anything reviewed where at least one person out of 75 doesn't at least give a 4 out of 5, especially anonymous ones on the Internet. 75 out of 75 perfect Internet reviews is so improbable that it’s on the level of winning the lottery. Even so, those reviews are accurate depictions of our experience under Michael’s representation. I give Michael Kramer my highest recommendation, and should you need legal representation, you will be fortunate if he takes your case.
Michael is an amazing lawyer. From the first moment I met with him he made me feel like I was very important to him. He took the time to learn about me and my case. He knowledge of the law is remarkable and I am very glad to have used his services. He is a personable man and i would recommend his services with very high regard.
Mr. Kramer understood my desire to preserve the career I worked so very hard for. More importantly, he read me correctly and understood that I was beyond worried and needed to be kept up-to-date on each step in my case. My questions were consistently answered promptly and concisely. He settled my anxieties and calmed my fears in the way that only hard-working, empathetic, and tenacious attorneys can do. He attentively listened; I never felt rushed or that I was asking nonsense questions. He ultimately encouraged me to look forward to a finish line that I had just about given up on seeing. No one wants to find themselves in adverse situations however, I would recommend Michael Kramer as he is the consummate professional and will assuredly get the job done!!!
Nearly two years ago, I arrived as a fresh-faced teacher at APS, one of the most troublesome districts in the state of Georgia.

Each time I called Mr. Kramer he personally took my call or called my back the same day. He explained every detail in ways that I understood and he took time to listen to me. At the end of my case his hard work got me a settlement that was over and above anything I expected . Mr .Kramer showed me that he really do care about his clients and work very hard at taking care of them through the entire process. He really should be the example for others in his field to follow. Thank you Mr. Kramer for taking care of me.
In any field, there are a select group of professionals that operate on a higher plane than their peers. Michael Kramer is one of those exceptional few in the field of law. I met with another top educational lawyer in Atlanta that recommended Michael’s representation because my union (GAE) did not contract with her but did with Michael. (I later learned that Michael served as the GAE’s general counsel for 15 years. In other words, he was the GAE’s lawyer when they had legal concerns.) My case dealt with a new principal trying to bully me into resigning by fabricating extremely low evaluation scores and ignoring ADA protections. This was after 16.5 years of sterling evaluations and as a tenured teacher. This principal had previously done the same to others. Once I contacted Michael, he came up with a brilliant legal strategy that addressed my concerns with the school system and principal without having a hearing or a court case. This strategy was developed within four hours of our first conversation, and it was successful! Michael was not only brilliant, but he took a personal interest in my family and me at each step. He kept us informed, and was responsive to the myriad of questions and e-mails we sent him. No doubt, my case was not the most lucrative for Michael since it was sponsored by the GAE. However, I never felt like I was getting anything less than his best. Before I requested Michael’s representation, I read 75 different reviews of him on different lawyer sites. All gave him perfect marks! I can't think of anyone or anything reviewed where at least one person out of 75 doesn't at least give a 4 out of 5, especially anonymous ones on the Internet. 75 out of 75 perfect Internet reviews is so improbable that it’s on the level of winning the lottery. Even so, those reviews are accurate depictions of our experience under Michael’s representation. I give Michael Kramer my highest recommendation, and should you need legal representation, you will be fortunate if he takes your case.
Michael is an amazing lawyer. From the first moment I met with him he made me feel like I was very important to him. He took the time to learn about me and my case. He knowledge of the law is remarkable and I am very glad to have used his services. He is a personable man and i would recommend his services with very high regard.
Mr. Kramer understood my desire to preserve the career I worked so very hard for. More importantly, he read me correctly and understood that I was beyond worried and needed to be kept up-to-date on each step in my case. My questions were consistently answered promptly and concisely. He settled my anxieties and calmed my fears in the way that only hard-working, empathetic, and tenacious attorneys can do. He attentively listened; I never felt rushed or that I was asking nonsense questions. He ultimately encouraged me to look forward to a finish line that I had just about given up on seeing. No one wants to find themselves in adverse situations however, I would recommend Michael Kramer as he is the consummate professional and will assuredly get the job done!!!
Nearly two years ago, I arrived as a fresh-faced teacher at APS, one of the most troublesome districts in the state of Georgia. Unfortunately, I did not let their unscrupulous reputation stop me from accepting employment within their district, because of a significant increase in salary. Initially, I received warning after warning from my professional teaching peers that the larger salary was “combat pay”. Not long after arriving at APS I realized that APS’ culture was nothing like the previous school district I worked for. Staffed by an entrenched administration who were hell-bent on doing things the way they had always been done in APS. Like hiring their friends for positions they were not qualified for, isolating and ostracizing honest teachers who wanted no part in the sorority-like fraternity, and creating a toxic work environment for all the teachers who fell outside of their zone of exclusion. God forbid if you were really there to teach, you automatically went under the radar as a threat to the established order (or disorder). It wasn’t long before I was target of the administration, because they had not better things to do. The principal would repeatedly call me to the office to confront me, not ask, about hearsay and gossip (none pertaining to the actual job, for which we are paid to do). Things deteriorated to the point that they began to make up false allegations against me, mock, belittled me and engage in slander. When these tactics failed I was then given vague objectives, no to little feedback, and was essentially being prepped and set-up to fail. After the allegations were placed against me I was removed from the classroom and placed down at the district. I was advised to contact an attorney, which I did not do, because I had faith in the system and the fact that I was innocent of the false allegations. I assumed that once the investigators read my version of what happened that they would be able to clearly see what was done to me, that couldn’t have been further from the truth. After sitting at the region for 5 months, mind you I had only been teaching there for 1 year, APS told me to resign or they would terminate me, because they agreed with the allegations. I was advised by APS that no matter which way I took both paths qualified me to be reported to PSC. It was at that point that I knew that I needed an attorney. I started looking for an attorney by word of mouth and I was referred to several, but once APS reported me to the PSC and I saw that the PSC offered me a revocation, I knew right there and then that I needed a great attorney. A friend of mine told me to go to google and conduct a search for an educational lawyer in which I bumped into Michael Kramer. I dissected him inside out and I loved what I read about him. I was even more intrigued to see that one of the reviews that I read sounded very similar to what I was dealing with and that Mr. Kramer obtained favorable results for them. I printed up all of the reviews that were done on Mr. Kramer and kept it by my side to read them as if studying him was a bible course. It was the weekend when I found his info and Monday couldn’t come fast enough. Every time my spirit was low I reread the reviews on Mr. Kramer and it lifted me up. His 32+ years of experience was another perk for me in accepting him as my attorney. I figure after 32 years you know what you are doing at this point and figured that he could help me. I contacted his office, told them what I was dealing with. We set up a meeting time and I went to his office. After talking to Mr. Kramer I felt good about the decision that I made to choose Mr. Kramer as my attorney. After a long fight, my case is finally over and my faith has been restored always by God, but God used Mr. Kramer to bless me in so many ways. I won my case thanks to Mr. Kramer and the outcome ruled in my favor to keep a valid teaching license and be able to go back to teaching. I would recommend Mr. Kramer!
Mr. Kramer helped me to settle an unjust termination dispute with my school. He was very thorough in researching the details surrounding my termination. He was very direct and clear with his questions, but sensitive to the difficult time I was having. In a short time, he had reached an amicable agreement on the terms of my departure from the school that were very beneficial to me. I would highly recommend him.
Michael is a wonderful attorney. He helped me during a very difficult time when my employment was ended abruptly for false cause. He showed genuine concern for me as his client and was very patient answering all my questions. He's extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. I am extremely happy with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Michael.
Michael Kramer provided excellent counsel. His experience with GA PSC and his wise understanding of legal matters enhanced his deep commitment to represent good educators dedicated to their professions. His handing of my case produced a fairer outcome than what would have been. Michael is a terrific choice to represent educators when negotiating with GA PSC.
Michael's legal knowledge of public education and certification issues with the PSC and his ability to work with the Attorney General's office was outstanding. He did an excellent job of preparing me step by step for what was next and, provided me with constant feedback. He made me feel comfortable and confident about my situation. If there was something he was not sure of he found the answer. His past experience and relationships with the PSC allowed him to help me navigate my way through a stressful situation, which ended up in a very favorable and positive outcome.
I had experienced an injury on the job and attempted to navigate the process on my own. Unfortunately, the process was more difficult than I thought and the insurance company was not being very responsive. I was referred to Michael and from the first meeting I felt very comfortable about his representation. He made sure to explain each step of the process and was very responsive whenever I had questions. Because of Michael's representation, I received a very favorable settlement that I would not have received had I not hired Michael. I would highly recommend anyone who is dealing with workers compensation to hire Michael as their attorney. You will not regret it.

I started looking for an attorney by word of mouth and I was referred to several, but once APS reported me to the PSC and I saw that the PSC offered me a revocation, I knew right there and then that I needed a great attorney. A friend of mine told me to go to google and conduct a search for an educational lawyer in which I bumped into Michael Kramer. I dissected him inside out and I loved what I read about him. I was even more intrigued to see that one of the reviews that I read sounded very similar to what I was dealing with and that Mr. Kramer obtained favorable results for them. I printed up all of the reviews that were done on Mr. Kramer and kept it by my side to read them as if studying him was a bible course. It was the weekend when I found his info and Monday couldn’t come fast enough. Every time my spirit was low I reread the reviews on Mr. Kramer and it lifted me up. His 32+ years of experience was another perk for me in accepting him as my attorney. I figure after 32 years you know what you are doing at this point and figured that he could help me. I contacted his office, told them what I was dealing with. We set up a meeting time and I went to his office. After talking to Mr. Kramer I felt good about the decision that I made to choose Mr. Kramer as my attorney. After a long fight, my case is finally over and my faith has been restored always by God, but God used Mr. Kramer to bless me in so many ways. I won my case thanks to Mr. Kramer and the outcome ruled in my favor to keep a valid teaching license and be able to go back to teaching. I would recommend Mr. Kramer!
Mr. Kramer helped me to settle an unjust termination dispute with my school. He was very thorough in researching the details surrounding my termination. He was very direct and clear with his questions, but sensitive to the difficult time I was having. In a short time, he had reached an amicable agreement on the terms of my departure from the school that were very beneficial to me. I would highly recommend him.
Michael is a wonderful attorney. He helped me during a very difficult time when my employment was ended abruptly for false cause. He showed genuine concern for me as his client and was very patient answering all my questions. He's extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. I am extremely happy with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Michael.
Michael Kramer provided excellent counsel. His experience with GA PSC and his wise understanding of legal matters enhanced his deep commitment to represent good educators dedicated to their professions. His handing of my case produced a fairer outcome than what would have been. Michael is a terrific choice to represent educators when negotiating with GA PSC.
Michael's legal knowledge of public education and certification issues with the PSC and his ability to work with the Attorney General's office was outstanding. He did an excellent job of preparing me step by step for what was next and, provided me with constant feedback. He made me feel comfortable and confident about my situation. If there was something he was not sure of he found the answer. His past experience and relationships with the PSC allowed him to help me navigate my way through a stressful situation, which ended up in a very favorable and positive outcome.
I had experienced an injury on the job and attempted to navigate the process on my own. Unfortunately, the process was more difficult than I thought and the insurance company was not being very responsive. I was referred to Michael and from the first meeting I felt very comfortable about his representation. He made sure to explain each step of the process and was very responsive whenever I had questions. Because of Michael's representation, I received a very favorable settlement that I would not have received had I not hired Michael. I would highly recommend anyone who is dealing with workers compensation to hire Michael as their attorney. You will not regret it.
I was rescently injured on my job and realized that dealing with my employers insurance company was more than I could handle. I contacted Michael Kramer of Buckley & Beal to represent me and He went to work immediately making sure that I was provided the best medical care , getting my weekly payments from workers comp started and he took time to copy me on every email involving my case. Each time I called Mr. Kramer he personally took my call or called my back the same day. He explained every detail in ways that I understood and he took time to listen to me. At the end of my case his hard work got me a settlement that was over and above anything I expected . Mr .Kramer showed me that he really do care about his clients and work very hard at taking care of them through the entire process. He really should be the example for others in his field to follow. Thank you Mr. Kramer for taking care of me.
In any field, there are a select group of professionals that operate on a higher plane than their peers. Michael Kramer is one of those exceptional few in the field of law. I met with another top educational lawyer in Atlanta that recommended Michael’s representation because my union (GAE) did not contract with her but did with Michael. (I later learned that Michael served as the GAE’s general counsel for 15 years. In other words, he was the GAE’s lawyer when they had legal concerns.) My case dealt with a new principal trying to bully me into resigning by fabricating extremely low evaluation scores and ignoring ADA protections. This was after 16.5 years of sterling evaluations and as a tenured teacher. This principal had previously done the same to others. Once I contacted Michael, he came up with a brilliant legal strategy that addressed my concerns with the school system and principal without having a hearing or a court case. This strategy was developed within four hours of our first conversation, and it was successful! Michael was not only brilliant, but he took a personal interest in my family and me at each step. He kept us informed, and was responsive to the myriad of questions and e-mails we sent him. No doubt, my case was not the most lucrative for Michael since it was sponsored by the GAE. However, I never felt like I was getting anything less than his best. Before I requested Michael’s representation, I read 75 different reviews of him on different lawyer sites. All gave him perfect marks! I can't think of anyone or anything reviewed where at least one person out of 75 doesn't at least give a 4 out of 5, especially anonymous ones on the Internet. 75 out of 75 perfect Internet reviews is so improbable that it’s on the level of winning the lottery. Even so, those reviews are accurate depictions of our experience under Michael’s representation. I give Michael Kramer my highest recommendation, and should you need legal representation, you will be fortunate if he takes your case.
Michael is an amazing lawyer. From the first moment I met with him he made me feel like I was very important to him. He took the time to learn about me and my case. He knowledge of the law is remarkable and I am very glad to have used his services. He is a personable man and i would recommend his services with very high regard.
Mr. Kramer understood my desire to preserve the career I worked so very hard for. More importantly, he read me correctly and understood that I was beyond worried and needed to be kept up-to-date on each step in my case. My questions were consistently answered promptly and concisely. He settled my anxieties and calmed my fears in the way that only hard-working, empathetic, and tenacious attorneys can do. He attentively listened; I never felt rushed or that I was asking nonsense questions. He ultimately encouraged me to look forward to a finish line that I had just about given up on seeing. No one wants to find themselves in adverse situations however, I would recommend Michael Kramer as he is the consummate professional and will assuredly get the job done!!!
Nearly two years ago, I arrived as a fresh-faced teacher at APS, one of the most troublesome districts in the state of Georgia. Unfortunately, I did not let their unscrupulous reputation stop me from accepting employment within their district, because of a significant increase in salary. Initially, I received warning after warning from my professional teaching peers that the larger salary was “combat pay”. Not long after arriving at APS I realized that APS’ culture was nothing like the previous school district I worked for. Staffed by an entrenched administration who were hell-bent on doing things the way they had always been done in APS. Like hiring their friends for positions they were not qualified for, isolating and ostracizing honest teachers who wanted no part in the sorority-like fraternity, and creating a toxic work environment for all the teachers who fell outside of their zone of exclusion. God forbid if you were really there to teach, you automatically went under the radar as a threat to the established order (or disorder). It wasn’t long before I was target of the administration, because they had not better things to do. The principal would repeatedly call me to the office to confront me, not ask, about hearsay and gossip (none pertaining to the actual job, for which we are paid to do). Things deteriorated to the point that they began to make up false allegations against me, mock, belittled me and engage in slander. When these tactics failed I was then given vague objectives, no to little feedback, and was essentially being prepped and set-up to fail. After the allegations were placed against me I was removed from the classroom and placed down at the district. I was advised to contact an attorney, which I did not do, because I had faith in the system and the fact that I was innocent of the false allegations. I assumed that once the investigators read my version of what happened that they would be able to clearly see what was done to me, that couldn’t have been further from the truth. After sitting at the region for 5 months, mind you I had only been teaching there for 1 year, APS told me to resign or they would terminate me, because they agreed with the allegations.
