So where do I begin... This accident by far was the hardest thing I've ever gone through in my life. But Mike Herman made this process as easy as possible.

Special thanks to Sharde and anyone else involved in handling this to the finish line for me. If you have been injured give Mike a call. They will ensure you get the best treating doctors and help you need start to finish. Words cannot express enough how greatful I am to the Herman Firm and all the doctors that put me back together.

Mike is a total professional. He's responsive, thorough, and genuinely works hard to get the best outcome for his clients without cutting corners like a lot of other (lazy..) attorneys do. He's been doing this for a long time and it really shows. I also want to shout out Sharde, one of the firm's paralegals--she was a huge help. Super organized, really easy to talk to, and incredibly supportive during a tough time. I could always get her on the phone (same with Mike) and she kept me updated throughout the whole case. If you're looking for a legal team that knows their stuff and actually cares, I highly recommend giving them a call. read more

Attorney Michael Herman is a quintessential law professional. His response time was prompt. He took valuable time and read through my case information. Even though, he was not able to provide service. He recommended several attorneys that would be able to help. He's awesome! The other attorneys I contacted sent automated replies that stated unable to service. Michael graciously apologized for my experience and realized I did not know which direction to go. He pointed me in the right direction, to which I am eternally grateful. It's so refreshing to meet an attorney that actually cares about people. Thank you attorney Michael Herman! read more

I sent in my case regarding food poisoning and Michael was amazing and friendly. He tells you what you can fight and win, but he is also knowledgeable in the defence side. Which is what the other attorney can say to fight back. He also have other attorney recommendations for a more successful case. His law firm had won many awarrds, so that's why I chose and called Michael. My attorney in Los Angeles/Beverley Hills only won top 100 awards, but Michael is number 1 in settlements. Maybe I'll transfer my personal injury cases to Michael in the future. read more

I had a car accident from over 2 years ago that was initially handled by a different firm. A little over a year later, they were getting no where with the case so they passed it over to Mike and his team. Within a year, Mike was able to get this case settled. He is very knowledgeable in all the aspects regarding the case. He is very detailed and thorough, which made it easy for me to understand everything. He is very hands on with the case and made sure to reach out personally to keep me informed on the case. Because of that and his compassion, I felt very comfortable everytime I spoke with him. What I also love about this firm is that everyone is very quick to respond to my questions. Sharde (paralegal) was a big help in gathering all the information and making sure everything was ready. If I couldn't reach Mike (which was rare), Sharde was always ready to assist. Would definitely recommend them! read more

Herman Law was outstanding in handling my personal injury case. They were professional, responsive, and got results. I would absolutely recommend them to my friends and family.

I can't thank Mike enough for his help. Without Mike, I would not have had the neck surgery that I needed to repair the damage from the car accident. I found Mike on Yelp when the opposing insurance company tried to tell me that I wasn't injured in the car accident and I didn't have pain. I was infuriated. I needed someone to help me. Mike became my advocate. He spoke "lawyer" to the insurance company (which is a different language) and I was able to concentrate on getting better. Mike was reliable, compassionate, informative, responsive and trustworthy. He was able to negotiate a settlement that made the ordeal of the accident a lot less painful. I would highly recommend Mike if you are in the unfortunate circumstance of needing a personal injury attorney. read more

I was riding to work on my motorcycle and had someone merge into me a evade the accident.(hit and run) Broke my leg in three places. Found Michael through a great friend of mine.

I hope I dont need a personal injury lawyer in the future, but if I do it's definitely gonna be mike. read more

Mike is one of the best, most Professional, Detail Oriented,  Responsive and Thorough personal injury attorneys in the bay area. Details: I was t-boned in a motorcycle accidented few years ago. Upon gaining consciousness in the hospital, I called the police department to investigate if they had issued a ticket to the responsible party. Police officer handling my case told me that no ticket was issued because per him it was my fault. It was shocking to me since it was my right of way. Right then I knew that I would need a very good lawyer to fight for me. I found Mike on yelp and let me tell you it was the best decision. Mike was very responsive throughout the duration of the case and provided great counsel.  He hired the best professionals (Accident reconstructionist, Doctors and Nurses for the life care plan)  in the industry to build a rock solid case ready to go to trial even before the first Mediation. All this hard work helped us reach a fair settlement without going to a trial. Therefore, please reach out to him and you won't be disappointed. read more

I had a really great experience working with Mike and other staff at the Herman Firm. Mike is straightforward, knowledgeable, and he was able to give me legal guidance that's helped me resolve my personal injury case as quickly and as painlessly as possible. Would recommend for personal injury cases and if they are unable to assist you personally, Mike is well-connected and can lead you in the right direction. Also, he's very responsive - something I truly value as personal injury cases are already emotionally exhausting and it's nice to not have to worry about communication/follow-ups, etc. read more

Attorneys that I've dealt with over the years have proven to be professional and helpful in their very special ways. However, on shadowy days where unforeseen incidents occur, reliability and transparency played a major role, and I will absolutely be in touch at my time of needs. Thank You! read more

I was impressed with the Attorney because he was unable to take my case but he offered thru Yelp messaging that if I had any questions, I can feel free to call him on his Personal cell which I did on a Saturday and he answered my call. We spoke and discussed my case for the 1st time on the phone. Despite he still was unable to take my case, he was wonderful in spending his valuable time with me today!! Thank you... read more

I was in a car accident and contacted The Herman Firm along with several other Law Firms. Attorney, Mike Herman was the first to call back. He listened to me, asked questions and I feel he genuinely cared. Although he was unable to take my case, he provided me with an attorney that most likely would. Mike was polite and professional. I really appreciated how he listened and sympathized with my situation. This is the first time I have ever written a review for anyone. I felt compelled to do so based on the positive wonderful experience I had talking with Mike. read more

Well, four years after I called the Herman Firm for a trip and fall accident, I had occasion to call them again for (yes another) trip and fall accident and a TBI. Mike was amazing, he took my call right away, spent a good amount of time with me reviewing my options for making a claim with the City of Napa (who were clearly at fault). He advised that it was probably too early to get engaged, and the City would do all they could not to admit liability or pay me. However, if my post concussion syndrome and fall after effects continued to get worse that I should call him back after 60 days or so. Mike took the time to listen to my story, was very understanding, and gave me practical no-nonsense advice. Highly recommend him! read more

I am satisfied with my experience. Mr. Herman and his staff were very responsive and kept me updated every step of the way. They helped me get through this difficult time. I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for a great personal injury attorney. read more

Trust His Process!! I was t-boned by a big Rig who ran his red light, totaled my car and left me with multiple injuries Including herniated disc and SI Joint dysfunction.. As you know there are so many attorneys to choose from. Me and my husband reached out to several attorneys, all whom told us that they couldn't help with my case. It was quite overwhelming especially when you're in a stressful situation. I was dismayed, but then through sheer luck (and some internet research) we found The Herman Firm. What a blessing it was!! From the first call Mike made me feel like my case was being dealt properly and that we wouldn't be ignored. Since then, he was with us at all hours. He made me feel comfortable with him throughout my case. Whenever I called, Mike answered. Whenever I texted, He replied. Whenever I needed clarification, he was great at describing everything and breaking things down to me. He even checked on me and my husband while I was in the hospital for my spinal surgery, meanwhile diligently handling our case. I must say the level of care he provided was top notch. He carried the burden of this tragedy for us. So we could move on with our lives. This was our first time ever needing a lawyer and I'm glad we made the best decision to go with Mike. Im so please with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced attention to detail personal injury attorney. Service A+ Communication A+ Process A+ Support A+ Outcome A+ Thank you Mike for all that you did for us. You're an incredible person!! read more
