I was involved in a motorcycle accident late last year, and had some injuries as a result. Michael and team helped me through the whole process, and dealt with all the different insurance companies and medical providers. The team is outstanding, kind and stellar at communication. It was truly wonderful to have Mike & team by our side during one of the most stressful times.

I was involved in a bike accident in which I was hit head on in a protected bike lane. I sustained serious injuries that required extensive medical care for the next year. Initially I was nervous about hiring a lawyer and wasn't sure if it was necessary. After speaking with a close friend who was also struck on his bike by a motor vehicle and had success with Michael I choose to speak to him as well. I spoke with a assistant immediately and then was patched over to Michael directly. After taking on my case, I was always cared for by Michael's team for the entire 14 months it took to resolve. They would respond to questions immediately and thoroughly. I never had to haggle with insurance agents or worry about if a property or medical claim was filed correctly. Michael's office handled everything. I have never felt more worry free, which allowed me the space and time to heal from the accident. At every moment in the case Michael and his team were smart, effective and courteous. He got me the MAXIMUM amount in my settlement which was triple what we had originally discussed. He is a wonderful lawyer and a great human being. This particular accident had me questioning if I would ever ride my bike safely in Portland again. Knowing that folks like Michael exist and will pursue justice gave me the confidence to continue riding in this city. That alone I can't put a price on. I would gladly hire him again for any future needs and anyone would be lucky to have him on their team.

I don't know what I would have done without him. He personally called me to check on me to make sure. I was okay and that I understood what was going on. They kept me up-to-date on the process. And they help me to get the compensation that I needed. Thank you so much. I highly recommend anyone who needs help to call him First. You will not find a better lawyer.!!!

I would give Mike Colbach 1000000 stars if I could. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a personal injury lawyer.
When I initially was looking for a lawyer, I was still reeling from the events of the accident and symptoms of my concussion. I called multiple offices that either promised a call back and didn't follow up, or put me through a phone tree that just led to voicemail. When I called Mike's office, not only was I able to speak to a real person, his staff was sympathetic to my situation and prompt in connecting me with Mike directly. That meant so much to me, and made an awful situation feel much more manageable.
Throughout this process, I've always felt confident in Mike's advice. With his guidance, we ended up settling for more than DOUBLE the initial offer. I'm very happy with the outcome and to be able to close this chapter, all thanks to Mike and his team.

In the fall of 2022, I was hit by a car while bike commuting and had multiple injuries. I was initially reluctant to work with a personal injury lawyer but thankfully I reached out to Michael Colbach. He understands this area of law extremely well and he was supportive throughout the somewhat long process. Ultimately my case went to arbitration with the insurance company and the award was the maximum allowed by the plan. I was pleased with the outcome and very impressed by how Michael advocated so effectively for me.
