What Our Clients Say

Michael Horrow and his phenomenal legal team are truly in a league way above most attorney's I have experienced. Extremely professional but also very empathetic to my situation that gave the process that personal touch. They were there for me every step of the way and I am very pleased with the final outcome of my case. I highly recommend them to anyone who is serious about their case and wants the best to represent them.

Great experience from start to finish. Professional, clear, responsive, and a positive delivered end result. Glad I was able to obtain their services.


E.M., Newport Beach, CA

Michael and his Team are the best attorney's I have ever worked with HANDS DOWN!! From the initial consult to the long hours of collecting data and navigating through the mounds of paperwork necessary to compile a compelling case for me, they couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Although my case in particular wasn't a huge one in terms complexity and monetary award, Michael and his team made me feel just as important as if I was a higher profile case. Their personal touch all along the way was so appreciated and above and beyond what I have ever experienced in dealing with attorney in my life. Special thanks to Krystal who was with me all the way in the beginning during the discovery stage. She was so patient and empathetic as I was going through such a tough time both physically and emotionally. Couldn't have done it without her.


D.C., Huntington Beach, CA

Michael Horrow took a case that a previous firm declined to take and Mr. Horrow came out with the best possible outcome. We cannot thank Mr. Horrow enough and the firm for everything they did. thanks again Michael!


A.V., Glendale, CA

Michael Horrow did a spectacular job on my case, far exceeding my high expectations. I can recommend his firm without reservation. Beyond his own stellar work, his staff was extremely helpful, always on top of things, and familiar with the specifics of the case. The entire experience was seamless. I could not ask for more.


A.S., San Diego, CA

Donahue & Horrow are the best people I have ever known and best choice I ever made to fight for me. They brought me justice and fought for my son and I. What was supposed to be the most beautiful time in a young woman's life it turned out to be the most life changing and challenging event of giving birth and to a horrible accident that happened leading to a medical malpractice lawsuit. Thanks to the most supportive and detailed lawyers I know who went above and beyond to make it right. I can make the absolute best decisions and care for my son and the future. I am so blessed to have them and be in their care with everything.

Most of us purchase a disability insurance policy thinking that it would be just that – insurance to protect us in a seemingly unlikely scenario, a security blanket. Most people sail through life never having to file a claim. I purchased a sizable, top-of-the-line policy with hefty premiums. I thought if I needed to use it, it would be a straight-forward “over the counter transaction”, submitting documentation from my doctor and receiving the benefits that I had paid for over decades. Imagine my anguish when my claim was denied. I later found out that rather than pay my legitimate claim, they focused on ways to deny it. Here is where Michael Horrow and his dedicated expert team came in. With his help I was able to get a good settlement from the insurer. I am ever so grateful to the person who referred me to him, so I am “paying forward” by writing this unsolicited testimonial to help others! From the outset, it was clear that I was in good hands. Michael spent an inordinate amount of time with me clearly educating me on the legal process in plain English, not legalese. A certified specialist in bad faith law, he is very knowledgeable with an excellent command of the language, making him an outstanding communicator and a formidable trial attorney. This was a long two-year process, during which he kept me informed on a consistent timely manner. He represented me well, fought for me, put my interests above his, and made sure I got justice. He is a wonderful human being to boot and is complemented by his partner Nichole Podgurski and a great support team, including case manager Rosa Padilla and manager Molly Hachtmann. When you’re represented by Michael Horrow, insurance carriers and their attorneys know he means business – they sit up and pay attention. I would recommend him very highly.
