Steven Gursten

I really appreciated the time and effort that was shown to my case and to me. The staff was there with me every step, to explain each process and procedure. I could always ask questions, and received thorough answers. I thought I was retaining just another law firm. I felt more like I was being taken care of by family.

I could not be happier with how things went. Tom and Steven walked me through the entire process from the beginning to a successful conclusion, and kept me apprised of case developments throughout.

I was stopped at a red light. And, out of nowhere, I was rear-ended at about 50 miles an hour. I needed to get a car accident lawyer. I went to one of my close family friends, who happens to be a partner at one of the largest defense firms in the Detroit area. He told me that Steven Gursten of Michigan Auto Law was the best. My first impression of Michigan Auto Law was that everyone was very laid back, warm and friendly. I felt comfortable there right away. In my auto accident, I broke my neck and damaged both my shoulders and my jaw; resulting in multiple surgeries to fuse my neck. I was ultimately fighting my own auto insurance company because the individual that hit me didn't have good insurance. If it wasn't for Steve, on the phone with them every single day, I sometimes wonder if I'd even be where I'm at right now. Not only did Steve answer my questions, but he answered all of my family's questions and concerns. I've referred him to strangers already. I'm more than satisfied with the resolution of my case and my personal injury settlement. Steve went out of his way to try to get to know you on a personal level, so he could fight for you, and your well-being, not just the accident lawsuit.

I was going to work down U.S. 23 toward M-59 and a teenage girl on her phone turned in front of me. My car was totaled and I was taken away in an ambulance. After the crash, my mom found Michigan Auto Law online, and said this law firm was the best to go for car accidents. It was the first time I ever had to get a lawyer for something like this and I'm raving. From the first point of contact, I was hooked. Michigan Auto Law was a really nice law firm. Really professional. I had a great lawyer. He was always on top of things. I honestly thought this was going to be a way longer and drawn out process, but it ended up resolving quickly. Anytime I gave my car accident lawyer a call, he would always give me a call back. He kept me posted on things and he'd tell me things that I didn't even know yet. I had peace of mind because of the way he handled my case. A couple times, I was really stressed out because the insurance company was trying to cut off my no fault benefits. He put a stop to that. I still have a ton of Michigan Auto Law cards that I pass out all the time.

I knew that I needed an auto accident attorney that really knew the law. And they had to be STRONG to go after a big corporation. I also knew that if I didn't find the right attorney, my family and I would lose our home and be living on the streets in a box - no exaggeration. At least 25 attorneys started calling me out of the woodwork after my car crash. I'm not sure how they all found me. Fortunately, I was referred to Michigan Auto Law by my psychologist when I was looking for a better law firm. They are superheroes. Steve Gursten is a big-time trial lawyer. I nicknamed him Superman - Clark Kent by day (the nicest guy you could ever meet), and Superman in the court room. And Lenny Koltonow is like the wise owl.

My lawyer Steve Gursten came into my life under the most devastating circumstances. One day, my girlfriend was driving to pick me up from work when she ran out of gas on I-75. As she was putting gas in her car on the side of the highway, a semi-truck veered from its lane and hit and killed her. My deceased girlfriend's family was not satisfied with the money the insurance adjuster was offering following the truck accident, so I called Michigan Auto Law to see if there were more No-Fault benefits available for her children. Steve Gursten looked tirelessly for more insurance and he did it out of kindness - he didn't charge me a dime. I appreciated that so much. Steve also treated me with dignity and he was always there to answer my questions. I would recommend this attorney for anybody who needs help with a truck accident in Michigan, because he is a polite man, a man of his word and he does what he says. You don't get that with most lawyers. Most other lawyers wanted to take 33 percent or charge $200 an hour, and didn't even care if insurance was there. Losing my girlfriend to a truck crash caused by a trucker who may have been asleep at the wheel was horrible. But at least now I had can lay my head on my pillow, knowing I did the right thing by getting all of the insurance possible for her family. I wouldn't have been able to do this without Steve Gursten's generous help.

Steve Gursten is the BEST in Michigan! And I would know, I've been to them all. I had signed on six different attorneys over time and

These were the first attorneys I had ever worked with and I felt the whole Michigan Auto Law team was dedicated to me. They were always very kind and responsive. Steve Gursten was very good at explaining everything that was going to happen and what to expect every step of the way. He always made me feel comfortable that if I didn't understand something, I could call at any time - whether I thought the question was silly or not. And Steve always called back within hours. I would highly recommend this attorney and the entire team for people involved in car accidents.

Michigan Auto Law represented a friend of mine a few years back. She recommended this law firm to me. After I was injured in a car crash, I walked in here telling Steve Gursten how much I hated attorneys and what they've done to me and how dissatisfied I was with the lawyer that I currently had. He took at least four hours with me in less than one days notice and made me feel very comfortable. He was honest. His integrity, perfect. He put me at ease and made me feel comfortable, which I did not with the attorney I currently had when I came to see Mr. Gursten. Steve made me feel as though I was his only client. Every time I asked him a question, it was not,

I'm not the type that would look for a car accident lawsuit. When this situation came about, I was a little nervous, uncomfortable; I didn't really want to deal with law firms. So when we were referred to Mr. Steve Gursten, I was very happy with the outcome. When we had questions and we gave Michigan Auto Law a call, they would respond right away. Anytime we had problems, questions, situations, they were there. They answered my questions regarding auto insurance, and even made a couple calls for me to have the process taken care of. It was just a wonderful experience throughout this difficult time in my life. I was very content with the law firm employees. I expected a lot from this law firm. They came through. I'm just happy with this law firm and proud of what they did. They even gave me a different perspective of auto accident lawyers. I'm very satisfied with the outcome of my lawsuit and my settlement. I'm very happy with the relationship I have with Mr. Gursten and those who were helping him. As a matter of fact, I've already recommended Steve twice, and without a doubt, I will do so in the future.

I was in a serious truck accident. But this was no accident. The trucker who hit me had had his license suspended - 11 times previously. He was speeding and most likely fell asleep at the wheel. All of that carelessness left me with traumatic brain injury and life-long disability. My life totally changed in an instant. But Michigan Auto Law helped return my life to as close to normal as possible. I read a lot about Steve Gursten's safety efforts. Not only does he fight for truck accident victims like me, but he is an activist that calls for a safer trucking industry throughout the United States. This hit close to home ... With trucking companies trying to cut corners and forcing their drivers to break federal safety rules, I was the one who got hurt. Steve is one of the best truck accident attorneys in the entire country, yet he spoke to me like a normal person - and didn't bombard me with a lot of legal ease. Steve was kind and respected me, and he went to bat for me. After all of the different legal proceedings we attended, Steve spelled out exactly what was happening with my truck accident lawsuit, so I understood and felt like I had control. When I had any question, Steve was more than happy to answer me. My phone calls were always returned - even on nights, holidays and weekends. For a lawyer, that is impressive. Having Steve Gursten as my truck accident attorney has been an incredibly good experience. The settlement I received is plenty to cover my rehabilitation and medical costs, and hopefully to set an example to greedy trucking companies - that such careless behavior and preventable truck crashes cannot be tolerated.

My husband was killed in an automobile accident involving a gravel hauler truck on the freeway. The left front steer tire of the gravel hauler blew on I-75 near the Rouge River bridge, and the truck hit my husband's car, trapping him between the retaining wall and the gravel hauler. It became apparent that I needed to seek out an attorney. After interviewing four different lawyers, Steven Gursten of Michigan Auto Law stood out amongst them as the guy to go to for several reasons. There was a genuine nature about Steve. He was exceptionally easy to talk with and an incredible listener. Of course his knowledge and the know how to get the job done was apparent. He treated me with a real sense of kindness as an individual and not a potential case. Steve settled my husband's case out of court so I didn't have to go through a trial. Throughout the whole process, Steve went above and beyond my expectations in terms of his hard work to uncover the truths of the matter and all of the things the trucking company did that were unsafe and contributed to the accident. Steve treated me with a lot of respect. He responded to my questions and phone calls very promptly. I never felt like he was in a hurry to get me off the phone. He listened to everything I had to say all the time. In terms of when I had to give my deposition, he prepared me and was next to me every step of the way. That was also the case when I had to go to court before the judge for the settlement. It made me feel very safe. Steve gave me confidence and the strength to get up there and do what I had to do. He did so much research and he explored every possible avenue to get me the best settlement possible. He worked very hard for me. Along the way, he kept me informed of the status of everything. I would say if anybody is involved in an automobile accident involving trucks or other commercial vehicles, to not hesitate to contact Steve. You will not be let down. If you've done your homework and investigated attorneys, Steve is the obvious right choice. I walked out of his office knowing it was a no-brainer decision to go with him. It was the right thing to do for my family, in the wake of such a terrible accident and traumatic time in our lives. I felt it in my heart, and I was right. Another thing I would like to note is that even after the case was closed, Steve is still here for me with advice and all the time I need.

My 87-year-old mother-in-law was driving to her retiree luncheon in Harper Woods. When she was stopped at a red light on Kelly Road, a large semi-truck rear-ended her and killed her instantly. The loss of my mother-in-law was devastating for the family. We chose Michigan Auto Law to handle her wrongful death case because the firm exclusively handles Michigan auto accident cases, and they have more accolades and successful cases than any of the competing firms. Even better, our lawyers Larry Gursten and Steve Gursten were very compassionate throughout the entire case. They were always available when we had concerns and they truly helped us understand the complicated legal process following a truck accident, with all of the given insurance issues. Some lawyers we interviewed told us that the loss of an 87 year old wasn't worth much, but Larry and Steve got us almost every penny there was from the trucking company's insurance carrier. I would refer Michigan Auto Law to my friends and family or anyone whose life has been turned upside down by a truck crash.

I was proceeding through a green light and a semi truck ran a red and crashed into me. A family friend and renowned attorney referred me to Michigan Auto Law and specifically, Steve Gursten and Larry Gursten, because they handle more truck accidents than any law firm in Michigan. Larry made us feel very comfortable because he was so competent. When we didn't know where the road was going, he led me and my wife. He was just so dead-on with his information and able to guide us. He took care of everything and was there to answer questions. It was very important that Larry made us feel comfortable and that everything was going to be alright, because my wife was uncomfortable with pursuing a lawsuit. Larry knew so much about my injuries, too. I felt like I was talking to a doctor at times. He made it feel like it was more about me than a lawsuit. Steve Gursten was just as amazing. He explained everything and he makes you feel very comfortable. Our insurance company would play their games throughout this process. We would turn to Steve and he took care of it. The defense tried settling for much less than what Steve thought my personal injuries were worth. I had a closed-head injury, memory loss, speech difficulties and neck and lower-back problems. Steve fought for us - hard. I would absolutely refer Steve Gursten and Larry Gursten to anyone trying to recover from a truck accident. These truck accident attorneys made us feel like family. We wouldn't have made it through this process if they hadn't made us feel so comfortable.

My lawyer Steve Gursten is very knowledgeable about auto law and what was involved with my type of case. Steve and the entire office at Michigan Auto Law are very personable. They are wonderful. Steve and Larry Gursten are truly compassionate, and return calls within hours - not days. The results of my settlement were way beyond what I expected. I gave one figure, and Steve shot higher. I have been very happy with this law firm, and will definitely continue referring auto accident victims their way.

When someone I love was hurt in a car accident I wanted the best auto attorney I could find. So I did my research. From my perspective, securing the best legal representation would equate to the best care she could receive. The impressive reputation and results of Michigan Auto Law brought me to their door. Not only was my perception of Mr. Gursten's legal talent right on point, but to that ability, he combines good intentions, empathy, people skills and professionalism. He is at the top of his specialty.

It's very hard for me to trust people, and I was very skeptical. The moment I met my attorney, Larry Gursten, I knew immediately that I could trust him and felt the same when I met my other attorney, Steve Gursten. I thank God for them every day. They are truly beautiful people. I couldn't have found better attorneys.

I was very happy with the attorneys at Michigan Auto Law. They are very responsive and all great to work with, and genuinely nice people. They made my decision a very quick and easy one, and made me feel very comfortable from the start, even though I was recovering from a serious car accident.

I was very impressed with my lawyers Larry Gursten and Steve Gursten right from the start - their expertise, knowledge, compassion - everything about them. The whole law firm was so supportive and responsive every step of the way. Everything was dealt with right then; they never put things off or prolonged anything following my car crash. Their honesty meant more to me than anything else, and it's so hard to find in people anymore. Everything was completely up front - even stuff that's hard to hear - they were honest about everything with very clear expectations. I knew they were giving their all and doing their very best for me - and my settlement was better than expected. I just can't say enough about these guys or thank them enough. Michigan Auto Law is only law firm I would trust.

I didn't know anything about no fault insurance, so I searched the internet and found Michigan Auto Law. I was very upset after I was rear ended. My car was ruined. I was not able to work because I had neck, back and shoulder injuries, and a traumatic brain injury. I was wondering,

There are some law firms for accident, injury and death cases that are just much better than any others. This is one of those law firms. Steven Gursten, one of the chief litigators, of Michigan Auto Law is know throughout the legal field for his unparalled results for injury victims and families suffering a fatality. When hiring these lawyers, you can be settled in knowing that your choice was the best. Thanks for the work you do Steven!

My husband was in a car accident and he was smashed pretty bad in a head on collision. He spent months in the hospital. We didn't need just any lawyer. We needed attorneys who specialized in catastrophic auto lawsuits. So we did some research and we found out that Michigan Auto Law was the best at handling catastrophic auto cases. In our case, the insurance company never made a real offer, so we had to go to trial. Steven Gursten and Tom James were our trial lawyers. They explained things very well to us. They didn't want the insurance company taking advantage of us so they fought for us in trial. They were very personal. They made a lot of calls and explained each step along the way very well: what our options were, where we were at in the trial... they kept us abreast of everything. Even though we were in a different city, it still felt like we had a local attorney, because they made house calls due to my husband's disability from the crash. We felt like Steve and Tom were our friends because they were so kind and made us such a huge priority. We are very happy with the trial results they were able to get for us in a timely fashion. The great trial results have given closure in my husband's healing process. I'd also like to give thanks to their paralegal Laurie Chase. She helped us on a daily basis. She was calming and just awesome. I can't say enough about Michigan Auto Law and the professionalism of this law firm.

I was a passenger in a car accident. I found this firm online and I chose them because when I called, everyone was polite and informational. The head of the firm Steve Gursten talked to me, and answered all my questions patiently. The people at Michigan Auto Law are kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and very helpful. A big thank you to this firm!

I'm a former insurance adjuster and I did that for several years. But there's only one attorney that stood out to me and it was Steve Gursten's firm. That's who I called when I was hit by a school bus. They're just the best. They're aggressive but so professional and always return your calls. It's the little things too. is a great attorney. He's really wonderful to work with and helped me and my family immensely.

Steve Gursten calls you by your name and not your case number. He is not like a lot of other attorneys who promise things they can't deliver. He said we will try our best and take it day by day. He is an attorney who returns phone calls and he is very organized and friendly. Every time I met with him he asked about family. I like that he goes beyond the legal duty and cares about my wife and kids. I am happy with Steve Gursten and this law firm. I actually referred Steve to my son's hockey coach.

The results of my settlement were way beyond what I expected.
