Michael Cerasa takes on big companies, but he works for individuals. He understands that every client is unique. Michael Cerasa will listen to you AND develop a winning strategy for your claim.. Michael has been representing people injured in accidents or from defective drugs or medical devices for nearly 20 years. His goal is to offer clients the experience of a big law firm coupled with the attentiveness of a smaller practice.. Born in Massachusetts, Michael fell in love with Central Illinois after relocating to Champaign with his family. Michael attended the Florida State University College of Law, where he graduated cum laude. He began his professional career in law in Florida immediately after and has been admitted by state bars in Illinois and Florida, Florida’s Northern, Middle, and Southern districts as well as the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. A longtime advocate for accident victims, attorney Cerasa is focused on holding negligent people responsible for their carelessness or greed and making sure that injured folks understand their rights and don’t get ripped off by insurance companies.. He has been named a Super Lawyer, holds a 10 out of 10 rating on AVVO, and has been ranked as one of Florida’s Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers.. Michael will listen to what happened in your accident, your concerns, and your needs. Together you will decide the best legal route forward to winning you the compensation you need to fully recover. He will be with you every step of the way and you can count on him to be attentive, available, and ready to answer your questions.. During negotiations with the insurance companies and in court, you’re going to see the passion he has for his work. You will see the pride he takes in fighting for people when they’re down and out following a bad accident.. With deep knowledge of Illinois and federal law and an aggressive strategy, Michael holds the doors open when the insurance companies try to shut you out. Using the evidence he’s collected in a thorough investigation, witness statements, hard-to-find documents, and citing legal precedent, he will demand the settlement you are owed. If an insurance company decides to be unreasonable and refuses to budge from a lowball offer, he is more than happy to go to trial and beat the providers in front of a judge and jury.. Michael is dedicated to the people of Central Illinois and the Champaign-Urbana area. He lives in the city with his wife, Jennifer, and their three children. Michael also recognizes the area’s challenges – dangerous, congested roads and highways with high numbers of crash fatalities, and too many car accidents involving tractor-trailers and pedestrians.. To help support and provide counsel to the injured in our community, The Cerasa Law Firm P.C. offers free case consultations, in which you can talk over your case with a member of our legal team and weigh your best options. There is no obligation to hire us after the claim evaluation.. Our law firm also takes all cases on contingency, which means that you pay no upfront costs, no out-of-pocket expenses, no retainer fee, and no hourly rate. If we take your case on contingency you will never have to worry about paying a lawyer’s fee. We don’t get paid until we win.. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, contact us.
