What Larry's clients say
"Larry Gursten handled a case for my husband's closed-head injury. He is so compassionate. He was very understanding of the problems that myself and my children were going through after the accident and during my husband’s medical treatment. He always returned all telephone calls and he made an amazing settlement for my husband, myself and our children. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone seriously injured in an auto accident." - Kelly Saldana, Brownstown

"I was very impressed with my lawyer Larry Gursten right from the start - his expertise, knowledge, compassion - everything about him. His whole law firm was so supportive and responsive every step of the way. Larry's honesty meant more to me than anything else; it's so hard to find in people anymore. Everything was completely up front with very clear expectations. I knew he was giving his all and doing his very best for me - and my settlement was better than expected. I just can't say enough about Larry or thank Michigan Auto Law enough. They are the only firm I would trust.” - Jennifer Barnett, Shelby Township

"Larry Gursten is great - he really does care. He's called many times just to check in to see how I'm

doing. This has been a very stressful time, and Larry took some of the stress out of it. He really listens well and tells me how to handle things every step of the way. I was referred to Larry from another well known attorney because he specializes in auto law and trucking accidents. I've been 110 percent happy with Michigan Auto Law and I've already referred four people Larry's way.” - Martin Doyle, Grand Rapids

"Larry Gursten treated me like a daughter and he fought for me like I was his daughter. He never gave up – he just wouldn’t quit. From the front desk to the board room, everyone at Michigan Auto Law is smart and works hard. I would recommend them to anyone. You are never a number or just a name with Larry and his firm. They truly care and are always working for you.” - Helen Gorecki, Ypsilanti
