Michael Barszcz was a true source of support and guidance during one of the hardest times in my life--after the unexpected loss of my husband. He handled everything with such kindness, professionalism, and care. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed. He explained things clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and made sure I always felt supported and understood. Knowing I had someone I could trust made all the difference. I'm so thankful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone navigating a difficult season.

I have what I believe, after a great deal of research is a very open and shut case of medical malpractice or at the very least medical negligence. Plenty of evidence! I called the office this morning, and my phone call was answered by a female. Must be the receptionist mentioned in several other bad reviews on this site. She let me speak for maybe two sentences And then cut me off! She was very abrupt, rude, unprofessional, and abrasive! Totally agree with the other poor reviews on the site! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME CALLING THIS OFFICE!

They say that the best "thank you" that you can give someone in business is a referral. Well, not only have I referred Mike Mandeville to friends, I've referred myself- 2 more times! The first time that I was rearended, I was only 24. After 5 months of chiropractic care, I hit my MMI, & MRIs showed that I had 1 herniated & 3 bulging cervical discs. Since these were permanent injuries, I decided to get an attorney. Multiple people suggested Morgan & Morgan, but I liked the idea of the "medical doctor & attorney" as well as a small practice. I wanted an attorney who knew my name, my face, my injuries, goals, and what I wanted my future to be. Of course, I wanted the guy on TV, but after consulting with Mike Mandeville & him telling me how he and Dr. B built their practice & his experiences, I knew I had the right attorney. Realizing that neurosurgery was an extremely likely end result, it was scary to think of finding the best surgeon & other doctors leading to it. With a lot of uncertainty & pain induced stress, Mike & his team, made things move more fluidly. I had my discectomy by Dr. Masson 1 year & 3 months after my accident, and had a nice big check a few months after that. Mike & Dr. Masson gave me my future back.
Fast forward 6 years, I was an EMT in Jacksonville and doing crossfit 5 times a week, which I never would have imagined, and I was rearended again. This time, it was my lower back & pelvis, and my EMT career was over. Though, Mike was amazing with my first case, I decided to go with a Jacksonville law firm. The accident, ER, imaging center, and my chiropractor were there. With the sudden career change, I moved back to Orlando, and hit all kinds of obstacles with finding doctors who would take an accident case from someone who had already maxed out their PIP & started care with others. The other attorney was useless. It didn't take me long to go back to Mike. It was a really tough case because the damage to my SUV was worth only $700. Mike connected me to Dr. Pavlik for chiro & Dr. Melvin for pain. While, I was not able to be made physically whole, my medical care and financial settlement exceeded my expectations. My second case was settled 1 year & 3 months after my accident.
But that's not it. Despite putting extra brake lights on my big metal steel cage of a vehicle, I was rear ended for the third time. This time, I had a concussion, thoracic herniations, and 1 of my previous bulging discs became unstable & needed to be fused, not to mention agitating my other previous injuries. This time, I called from the accident scene. The driver who hit me ended up being uninsured & the car I was pushed into didn't have uninsured motorist coverage (police gave me 0% fault). Mike & team dealt with all of that with ease. Mike sought the full policy amount & the insurance company didn't even counter it. Mike negotiated my medical bills down as he did each time and I had my settlement check in hand 11.5 months after accident #3. At this point, Mike is like family now. I love running into him at UCF games, but I really hope I never need him again. But if I DO need a personal injury attorney, I'm calling Mike. Lord knows I send everyone else to him!
