Michael Dorshkind Attorney At Law

I was hit by a drunk driver, my car got totaled. No broken bones thankfully, but I did have some problems with my wrists, neck etc that caused pain and made it so I couldn’t do things like work for a while. Before meeting Michael Dorshkind I considered other attorneys. They were either not responsive, wanted to charge too much or they had impersonal ‘factory’ like practices where you don’t really get to deal with the attorney. Mike was exactly what I was looking for. Experienced, responsive and pragmatic. The process moved along at a good pace and the settlement was fair. Both Mike and Liz were a joy to work with.

Mr. Dorshkind is as good as it gets (and his assistant, Liz, is incredible, too.) After being hit by a car last year, I was left feeling overwhelmed and helpless. I searched Unilocal reviews for a reputable attorney, and decided to meet with him. I wasn’t even sure of my exact injuries at the time, but my knee was constantly swollen and painful and I was having back pain with the slightest movements. I knew that he was trustworthy when he told me that he wasn’t sure if/​how he could help me, especially with out medical evidence. The fact that he didn’t try to sell me, or convince me to sue, was incredibly meaningful. I wasn’t trying to get over on anyone; I just wanted to be justly compensated. It turned out that I had a torn ACL, which required surgery, and bulging discs which required an epidural, and Mr. Dorshkind made sure to get every penny that was available! I am so happy that I trusted the Unilocal reviews, even though there weren’t as many as other attorneys. If you’re hurt and need someone who’s going to represent you while you focus on healing– Mr. Dorshkind is definitely your guy! He’s compassionate, dedicated and an over-​all good guy.

Michael helped me immediately after i was attacked by a pitbull in 2011. I showed up to his office, short notice, with no money and no insurance and he welcomed me with open arms. He was able to front all my medical bills and get me my settlement money in one short year, with no hesitation or fuss. I recommend him whenever i have the opportunity!

Mr. Dorshkind and his Legal Assistant Liz are the best. I had two complicated cases. He was referred to me by a close family memeber. She said if anyone can help you it’s Mr. Dorshkind, he explained to me in detail how my case should go.
They’re very compassionate, understanding and return calls and emails promptly. I love the fact that he doesn’t sugar coat and very honest. (There is hardly any honest lawyers now a day’s).
He would call or email with updates on my cases. Even when I was loosing hope he always had the right words.
I highly recommend him for legal issues.

The best word to describe working with Michael Dorshkind… flawless. We just settled a case with Michael. My daughter has a face scare resulting from accident at her former preschool. I called several firms and no one was interested. Michael took us on even though he knew payout would be less than 6 figures. He didn’t need to, but hearing my case he felt compelled to take us on. From our first meeting to the settlement hearing Michael never missed a beat. It was obvious we were working with a seasoned lawyer. He exudes confidence and professionalism which put me and my family at ease. On a side note, his office is in a beautiful historic Victorian. I recommend Michael highly.

I just settled a case with Michael Dorshkind. I cannot say enough good things about him as a person and as my lawyer. I am going to tell my story as brief as possible, but in short, Mr. Dorshkind was extremely thorough, compassionate, effective, experienced, easy to communicate with, professional, and a great lawyer to have on your side.
Before signing with Mr. Dorshkind, I called around to at least 50 different lawyers from Sacramento to the Bay Area to find a lawyer who would take on my case. Most of the time I was not even able to get past the secretaries of these lawyers to explain my situation. I was quickly dismissed as if my case was not relevant or severe enough for them.
On my last attempt, I called Michael Dorshkind’s office, to my surprise, he personally answered the phone. He was extremely curious about my case, during our conversation he actively and patiently listened to my story. He was willing to do some investigation to see if there was a case, he gathered some information, and very shortly after, I heard back from him that he was certain we had a case.
I am so happy that I contacted Mr. Dorshkind, without him, I never would have found a lawyer to take on my case and would have never been able to get the settlement and answers I was looking for.
Mr. Dorshkind always called me to keep me updated through this process, he was extremely easy to get a hold of, and always took the time to explain the status of our case and made this process so easy and smooth.
I would highly recommend Michael Dorshkind to anyone and everyone!

I needed to consult with a personal injury attorney. Fortunately I spoke to Michael Dorshkind first. He was thorough, careful, and very pragmatic, as well as kind and thoughtful. In the future, if I do need such a specialist, he’s the first one I will contact.
