    I've tried several cases against Mike. He is always very well prepared and knows how to relate to jurors. He always honors both the letter and the spirit of agreements. Easy AV rating from my viewpoint.

    I have worked on the opposing side of a number of cases where Mr. Polen represented a personal injury plaintiff. His ethics are impeccable. You can take him at his word. Moreover, he is a highly skilled and effective litigator.
