Competent but room for improvement

As someone who recently worked with Michaella Magaard on a workers' compensation case, I found her knowledge of the law and dedication to her clients to be commendable. Her background in personal injury litigation and recognition by Best Lawyers in Workers' Compensation Law gave me confidence in her ability to handle my case. However, while she was thorough in her approach, the communication could have been more consistent. There were instances where I had to follow up multiple times for updates, which was frustrating given the sensitive nature of the case. Additionally, while the outcome was reasonable, I felt that the final settlement could have been higher with more aggressive negotiation. That said, Michaella's expertise in her field is evident, and I believe she has the potential to grow into an exceptional advocate with a few adjustments in client communication and case management.

Highly Skilled Attorney with Minor Room to Improve

I recently worked with Michaella Magaard on a workers' compensation case, and I was thoroughly impressed with her expertise and dedication. Her deep understanding of personal injury and workers' comp law, coupled with her recognition by Best Lawyers, gave me confidence from the start. She navigated the complexities of my case with precision, explaining every step clearly and advocating passionately for my rights. While her legal skills are exceptional, I did notice that her response time to emails was occasionally slower than I would have liked, and the costs were a bit higher than expected. Nonetheless, the outcome was excellent, and I would recommend her to anyone needing a strong legal ally in these practice areas.
