I am the marketing guy for Michael V Favia and have known him for at least 10 years. We were both on the John Marshall Alumni Board together, when he was President. From time to time I've sent Mike referrals and I always hear positive reports from my friends and colleagues I've sent bis way for personal injury matters and nurse licensing issues. Great firm amd I'm so happy to be able to work with them all.

I've known Mike both personally and professionally for over 25 years. Anything I do that requires a lawyer, Mike is my guy. He's incredibly experienced and knowledgeable in the law and gets the job done. I have recommended Mike to family and friends and he has done well for them. Mike also has a team of Associates that are ready to help at a moment's notice. If you need an attorney, give Michael a call; you won't go wrong.

I was rear ended by a reckless, moronic truck driver three years ago in Indiana. I live in Illinois, and I am a truck driver as well, so I was referred to Michael by my doctor. Despite the accident happening in Indiana, I felt that Michael and Tom Kain came through for me. Insurance companies for the trucking industry loves to be a pain in the rear when it comes to settlements, and this one was no exception. Michael made sure that all of my bills was accounted for, paid, and his expenses were very fair. I would have no trouble in recommending Michael to other people. He is very down to earth and will not make false promises. I received a good settlement in despite of Indiana's nutty laws, and am glad of the results.
