What Lenny's clients have to say

"I was going to a job site in a van on I-75 when we were rear-ended. I wanted the best lawyer possible, and the Internet showed that Lenny Koltonow is the top trial lawyer in Michigan for auto accidents. To make things better, right from jump Michigan Auto Law made me feel pretty comfortable. All aspects of my case were handled very well, and Lenny has treated me with respect and understanding. All of my questions were answered to the point where they made perfect sense to me. I know Lenny fought for me. In fact, during facilitation and pending my back surgery, the opposing attorney came to us with a low settlement, Lenny wouldn't accept it. He said he would NEVER put me in that kind of position. It appeared the defendant would go to great lengths to avoid a trial against Lenny.” - Adam Johnson, Riverview

"My attorney Lenny Koltonow was thorough in handling my car accident case. I respect his mentality, as he is a seasoned trial lawyer. But the camaraderie he showed me from the beginning was truly appreciated. He makes you feel like family in a sense. It got to the point where I didn’t even feel compelled to call and check on my case because I knew he was completely on top of things. Beyond my auto case, Lenny helped me with other questions and issues, like my workers compensation. I would recommend this law firm, specifically Lenny Koltonow, to anybody who needs help. My life is much different from the way it was before the accident. But the settlement I received is enough to get me the right treatment and physical therapy as I start to rebuild my life.” - K. Journey, Detroit
