Expert guidance through a complex product liability case

After my husband was seriously injured by a defective power tool, we were overwhelmed. Hiring Michael Ponterio and his team at Lipsitz, Ponterio & Comerford was the best decision we made. His deep knowledge in product liability litigation, honed over decades since his graduation from New England Law, was immediately evident. He patiently explained the complex legal and engineering issues involved, and his recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field gave us great confidence. Michael was a fierce advocate who secured a settlement that fully covered my husband's long-term medical needs. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is that during the busiest phases, communication from his junior associates could sometimes lag a day or two. Overall, his strategic approach and dedication to plaintiffs' rights are exceptional.
