Michael Noonan and his staff did a great job for me during a personal injury case. Michael is a lawyer that will fight for you and not back down. Also willing to take the case to trial to fight for what the case is worth. I was being low balled by the insurance company with an extremely low offer. Michael was able to collect the entire policy limit in less then 4 months after i turned my case over to him. I would recommend him to anyone with a personal injury case in the area.
