I’m a High Volume Manager recently injured at Starbucks Company . I didn’t know how to navigate through a work injury ever. It was a very upsetting situation with no support when it came to the claim let alone medical support and or therapy . I was recommend by Micheal Yap and was not only helped , respected and reevaluated I also won a workers comp case.
Micheal made everything super easy stress free and did what was best in my interest . Thank you Micheal!!!!

I had the privilege of working with Michael Yap as my attorney for a workers comp case, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Michael was not only amazing throughout the entire process but also took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I understood the ins and outs of my case.
He kept me in the loop and always got back to me within a reasonable amount of time for someone so busy.

I almost didn't file the case but after speaking with him and hearing that he believed I should be fairly compensated for the pain that I had to go through I decided to take a leap and do it.

From the beginning, Michael handled all of my doctor's appointments and paperwork with efficiency. His ability to communicate the pros and cons of each decision I faced was invaluable, and he provided solid advice on what he believed to be the best course of action.

My case lasted around a year and a half, during which I received an initial settlement offer of approximately 20/25k. Despite receiving treatment from a chiropractor and Dr. Caligouri, along with a PQME ruling 100% fault to my workplace, the insurance company remained adamant about the original offer. At the time I was dealing with a lot of anxiety in general but especially about this case so I wanted to settle but was not going to take 25k.

After a thorough discussion over a Zoom call, Michael was able to significantly increase the settlement offer. I ultimately decided to accept the settlement and handle further medical procedures through my own insurance, which turned out to be a good thing. I found out that I had a pre-existing condition, unknown to me, which could have complicated matters further and drawn out the case longer than I would like even though the Job was the reason that I was having the pain.

As far as any negatives, It was a little difficult to meet because he works in Orange County and I live in San Diego. But most communication is through phone and you only need to meet up once maybe twice. He does take a lot of time over the phone to explain everything, which was important to me because I tend to forget things easily and ask the same question two maybe even 4 times and tbh I didn't even want to meet in person too much. Between work and school and doc appointments a phone call was enough.

He takes the standard % for workers comp lawyers

Michael Yap was an amazing choice that I would make again but hopefully won't need to.

Michael has been above and beyond. He never once has sugarcoated anything with me. He has fought long and hard for everything I deserve. He never spoke to me like an attorney but as a close family friend. I have always recommended him to all my friends and family. Michael is amazing and he fights for what you want and well as what you deserve!

Michael represented me on a worker's comp case and did an amazing job with everything. He did an amazing job of not only handling the law side of things but also making sure that whenever I had a question to ask, he had an answer, and he was very quick to call back or answer a call or text. Overall he made what is a super stressful situation very manageable.
