Mr. Baker was extremely helpful in all areas. Great response and follow-up. Communication was ongoing but not overwhelming. I feel he truly cares about you, as an individual, and does what is best for his clients. He even called during some rough times to make sure I was ok and if I needed anything. 5 stars all day long!!

Michigan Auto Law has been extremely helpful. After my accident I found myself with a wound that wouldn't heal. It was my attorney at Michigan Auto Law that got me set up with with in-home nursing. My only regret is that I didn't call the sooner.

Sharon Miller from Jenison, MI
It was a long process!- Attorney Tom Baker did an amazing job getting the best settlement he could for me. He was very easy to talk to and made you feel completely comfortable and knowing he had your best interest in mind. He was accessible to me by phone and email. Tonya Harris working with him was also very kind and helpful working on my case. This was my second time being represented by Michigan Auto Law. Brandon Hewitt was amazing and pushed hard for me for almost 3 years doing his best at getting me the best offer he could. He made you feel like family and was sincere and always in contact. His paralegal Barbara Nichols also worked very hard in assisting me. You have an amazing group representing your firm. I would recommend them to anyone in need of their representation! I can’t thank you all enough! Sharon Miller

There is not enough good things to say.
