John and Charlene did an amazing job handling my case with ICBC after a nasty car accident where a new driver ran a stop sign. No stress, took care of everything, did not have to deal with ICBC directly a single time. All I had to do was focus on recovering while everything was handled professionally for me, got a fair settlement for all the hassle.

After speaking to multiple lawyers about an ongoing ICBC claim, I listened to my gut and went with John. Almost four years after our first meeting, I see that I made the best decision at that time.
Sukhmani Dhaliwal in the office took my case and she did an amazing job from beginning to end. She was great at communicating whenever needed and it was clear that she kept my interest as the main priority. I am very happy with my settlement with ICBC and I don't think it would be possible without the help of John and Sukhmani. If you are in search of a lawyer and reading this review, just give them

I have had the misfortune of needing a personal injury lawyer for 2 separate accidents however I have had the fortune of dealing with John Michaelson and his team. Both times him and his team have been professional, caring and understanding of my situation and did the best to make sure that not only did I get better but that I got a fair settlement. Both times John and his team exceeded expectations and got me way more than I ever thought possible! I would not hesitate to recommend John Michaelson to friends and family in the future.

I highly recommend John Mickelson as a lawyer. He has represented my wife and I twice due to car accidents. Both times the settlement we received exceeded our expectations. He and his staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again should the situation arise.
