Client Testimonials
“My wife and I were involved in a bad car accident last summer. For a number of reasons, our case was extremely complex. I knew we would require very skilled attorneys. After some research, it became clear that Michigan Auto Law was a large prominent and capable law firm for serious auto accident cases. Their reported results in the court room were astounding. Hiring Michigan Auto Law was the right decision and one of the best decisions I could have made. My attorney Kevin Seiferheld, along with his legal team took good care of us. They were not only smart and tenacious but also extremely warm and sensitive toward my family. They kept us informed every step of the way and achieved a great result much sooner than we expected. This law firm is large, aggressive, deep in talent and resources and yet they were always very personal and focused on our needs. They are not just our lawyers; they are now close friends. They really do check off all the boxes. I cannot recommend Kevin Seiferheld and Michigan Auto Law enough. For them, there should be 10 stars, not just five.” – Ralph Woronoff
