I contacted Michael when I was injured at work, I was extremely scared and nervous to be in the situation of needing a lawyer and going against my company at the time. I didn't know what to expect and didn't have high expectations until I met Michael. He was there through every step of the process whether it was him scheduling my doctor's appointments or checking how I was doing and making sure I felt comfortable and supported. Micahel is caring and hardworking when it comes to his clients. I honestly can't recommend him enough. I know this will convince most people so I left it to the end so people would first see his character, he got over 3x what I was expecting in settlement. So trust me when I say you're making the right choice with him.

Michael Yap is an excellent and hardworking working attorney that will go above and beyond for his clients. Michael was able to represent me in my worker’s compensation case and got me the help I deserved. He was very knowledgeable and kind enough to guide me through the entire process, provide me with ongoing updates regarding my case, and also checked in with me regularly to see if there was anything I needed. Michael is by far one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with.

I’m a Native American working in Uncle Sam’s land aka The United States so I was off Rez and I needed help fast after I got seriously injured at work so I googled workman’s comp lawyer because I had no idea where to start on this journey toward recovery. I couldn’t understand workman’s comp alone or as quickly as my company wanted me to it seemed like they were rushing me. My Work place injury left me floored. The world wouldn’t stop spinning for a second and I started calling looking for advice from the results of the google search, but sadly they confused me more, except Mr. Yap.  Michael Yap was the only person to really listen to me, felt empathy, and understood the urgency/complexity of my situation. Ever since our first FaceTime phone call I have felt properly represented by a true professional and Michael has proven this through his actions. I had Workman’s compensation questions and Michael Yap had answers and has produced results fast. More importantly good lawyers like Michael are rare and have patience for people as unique as myself. Thank you Michael because honestly out of everybody I’ve reached out to in my inner circle and on / off indian reservations have not had answers for me when I got hurt at work except you. Caring and compassionate , responsible, grateful, trustworthy, and patient are words I would use to describe this excellent workman’s comp lawyer. As a Indigenous American I was even asked odd questions, and I probably had questions that seemed odd too because I was raised on a reservation and didn’t know much about the laws in California. Thanks for helping this Lakota out!
