”“An Outstanding Attorney and a Truly Wonderful Human Being.
There are times in life when you need more than just an excellent attorney. You need someone who listens, understands, and genuinely cares about what you have been through. For me, that person was Michael Velarde.
After enduring years of workplace sexual harassment and the emotional toll that followed, making the decision to pursue legal action was incredibly difficult. From our very first interactions, Michael treated me with compassion, kindness, dignity, and respect. He never made me feel like I was simply another case. He made me feel heard, supported, and understood.
Throughout a long and emotionally exhausting legal process, Michael remained professional, knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated. His calm demeanor and steady guidance gave me confidence during some very difficult moments. He understood that this case was about far more than financial compensation. It was about being heard, standing up for myself, and reclaiming the dignity that had been taken from me.
What makes Michael truly exceptional is that he combines outstanding legal expertise with genuine humanity. His compassion was every bit as meaningful to me as his professional abilities.
While nothing can erase the experiences that brought me to his office, Michael helped me find closure and move forward with my head held high.
I will always be grateful for his kindness, dedication, and exceptional representation. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Velarde to anyone seeking an attorney who is not only highly skilled but who truly cares about the people he represents.
Thank you, Michael, for helping me find my voice and close a painful chapter of my life.”

”“Working with Michael was my second experience working with a civil litigation attorney. This experience was by far the best. As a person with a disability it is difficult for me to make decisions, but the way that Michael explained things made it easy to. I am very thankful that I found my Attorney Michael because he is very knowledgeable in Employment law and is great at explaining it to me. When working with Michael I knew he really cared about getting justice for the situation I went through, and he did.”
