What the client said
Working with Michael Goldfaden was a complete breath of relief! Starting a business on my own has come with many learnings and obstacles. As my business develops and expands, new opportunities constantly present themselves to me which often requires attention to categories and/or details that are not my expertise or forte. Having Michael's attention to my work whether it be reviewing, revising and/or navigating me through what I would describe as treacherous territory has made the process so much more manageable for me to comprehend. I truly have felt so supported in the counsel he provided to me and am so glad I have a trusted resource to rely on for all my legal needs. Michael is professional, timely, organized, insanely smart, and strives for success in every step that he takes. I would recommend working with Michael for your legal needs in a heartbeat. You can 100% trust he will handle with precision, savviness and care ! Thank you, Michael, for all that you do and continue to do for me and my business!

"Mike's skill at trial translates into an ability to be a fantastic professor at the University of San Diego School of Law. Though I had never participated in mock trial before law school, Mike helped transform the members of our class from scrappy novices into champions. I've had the pleasure of working with Mike on two separate mock trial competitions where he led our team to the finals of the 2018 ABTL competition. We then took First Place in the 2019 SDDL competition, defeating 15 other teams from across the country.
His teaching style is best described as a "pleasant persistence" in bringing out the unique abilities of each individual. Some teachers do their best to shape you into an archetypal mold but Mike encourages each student to develop their own full potential by focusing on their strengths, bolstering their weaknesses, and, most importantly, reminding us to relax and have fun. It has proven to be a formula for success.

I was injured at work and Michael went above and beyond to help me win my case. He and his assistant, Christina, were accessible, trustworthy, and transparent. His rate was lower than others'. Without Michael, I am positive I would have won less or, more likely, nothing at all. I will request his services first whenever I need them again. I was lucky to have him in my corner. In fact, this was my first positive lawyer experience -- haha. Thanks, Mike!! I will vouch for you any time.

Michael and his assistant Christina are both very helpful. We had Michael as an attorney on our last case and he is super diligent always calling in to keep you up to speed and informed. I’ve had attorneys in the past that you never hear from or only hear from their assistant but Michael goes out of his way to stay connected with his clients. We are more than satisfied with our experience. Knowing how great his work is has left us feeling stress free about our decision to retain him again.
A.S.Client
Michael and the team were extremely helpful and resourceful in successfully guiding me through the legal process and bringing resolution to my case with the best possible outcome. They were responsive and kept me informed throughout the process. There were challenges with the case along the way and he was very articulate about the options and allowed me to make informed decisions.
R.H.Client
Mike and his team went above and beyond for us in in our case! He was very transparent throughout the process and kept us informed the whole way through exceeding our expectations. He and his team are very responsive, hard working, and went the extra mile for my family and I.
My wife and I were hit from behind from a car running a red light with our 1 month old daughter in the backseat. We had significant injuries that required medical care for many months. The drivers insurance company offered us peanuts as a quick solution - which was a slap in the face. I am so thankful I reached out to Mike Goldfaden and his team. They did whatever it took to get us what we deserved... and more!
I highly recommend using his team. They are proactive, knowledgable, transparent, and will get the most out of any situation.
Highly recommend 10/10!

Working with Goldfaden Benson was so honoring to our family. When a driver ran a red light and totaled our car with our month old baby in the back seat, the insurance company offered us $2000 (combined, for all of us). Goldfaden Benson made it simple to submit all of our medical receipts and listened with compassion as we shared our personal challenges after the accident. We ended up getting a significant sum of money that we can put aside for our daughter and future medical expenses. We cannot recommend them enough and we’re consistently grateful for their professionalism and communication. We felt seen and cared for at each step of the process.

Michael Goldfadden is by far one of the top personal injury attorneys in the state. Knowledgeable, professional, diligent, caring, and kind, he works extremely hard for the best possible resolution to a case. My wife and I were involved in an automobile accident wherein we were hit from behind by an inattentive driver. Both she and I suffered injuries that required prolonged medical care. The driver’s insurance company (Progressive) did not want to pay. They fought us every step of the way, in spite of the fact we could prove damages and that their client was to blame. To make matters worse, when we saw that the insurance company was going to be uncooperative, we hired an attorney who ended up retiring on us in the middle of our case. My wife and I searched for an attorney that would be willing to take up where the first attorney had left off but were unsuccessful for several months. Finally, we ran across Michael. Michael was great from the beginning. He agreed to take the case when no one else would. He dug deep and fought diligently against the insurance company and got them to pay the entire policy limit. Our damages exceeded the driver’s policy limit however, and Michael was able to obtain a full recovery though our uninsured / underinsured motorist insurance. Not only that, but Michael was able to negotiate down the medical liens that we had accumulated due to our injuries, something that he obtained no financial compensation for, thereby allowing us to pocket money in compensation for our pain and suffering. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone unfortunate enough to suffer an accident.

Michael represented me in a traffic case this year. He was incredibly responsive and thorough with his research of my case and had me fully prepared both for the trial as well as going to trial in the virtual world. Sitting through the cases it was obvious not all lawyers knew the expectations of trial virtually. Hopefully I do not have any further needs but will continue to consult Michael Goldfaden as necessary in the future. He went above and beyond "5 stars"
K.B.Client
This man is one of the hardest working and knowledgeable legal experts I have ever met. I cannot stress enough how far he will go to ensure you get the most for your case while keeping you informed at the same time. Our paths crossed professionally and I knew that keeping his card wouldn't hurt. I am glad I did. As it turns out that decision paid me very, very well after my case. Take this advice -give him a call. You don't have anything to loose but your time wasted searching for the right counsel, when in fact it's right here. Don't waste your valuable time at big billboard offices where you are just another number, like a cheap used car. This is an exceptional firm. Anyone who cares about themselves and their case should look no further. Thanks again Michael for all the help!
H.C.Client
As a lawyer who practices business law, I am always looking to network and meet great lawyers in different practice areas. I was introduced to Mike through a good friend and immediately recognized Mike as an expert.
Whenever I have a question for Mike regarding personal injury he responds immediately and provides top notch advisement. I have referred Mike a number of potential clients and each one has called me back to thank me for the referral and praise his responsiveness, expertise, and professionalism.
Unlike some other attorneys, Mike is not afraid to take a case to trial and prepares each case as if it will proceed to be heard in front of a jury. If you are looking for an amazing personal injury lawyer, call Goldfaden Benson, you will not be disappointed.
