Auto Law Reviews

I am a trial attorney in North Dakota. Steve took the time to travel to Bismarck, ND to provide some training to attorneys on understanding how to help people who have suffered brain injuries, including those arising from low speed car accidents. He later followed up with me on email by exchanging ideas and sending me some notes regarding his ideas and research on different issues. He did not ask for anything in return from me. A year later, I was able to make a difference for a client using some of his ideas. He is a smart, authentic, and driven attorney, and I highly recommend him.

Steve is one of the best trial lawyers and mentors I know. You have to have an attorney that’s always willing to go all the way for you and with you, and that’s exactly who Steve is. I could not recommend him more highly.

I’ve known Steve for roughly a decade. In that time, I have heard him speak at seminars, I’ve worked on cases with him, and I’ve referred numerous clients to him. He is an absolute professional, an outstanding advocate for his clients, and just an all-around exceptional lawyer.

Working with Steve over the years has been amazing. I feel like we have such a positive impact in this world by helping people through such a difficult time. I would recommend him and Michigan Auto Law to anyone.

First, I want to state that I am an attorney, who has been practicing law for nearly 25 years. I have known Mr. Gursten both personally and professionally for his entire legal career. I also know several of the associates at his firm. Steve and his firm, Michigan Auto Law, have a fantastic reputation. They are among the most successful auto attorneys in the state. I know that Steve works tirelessly for his clients to get them what they deserve. He has a track record of verdicts and settlements that any personal injury attorney would be proud of. His hundred of stellar Google reviews speak for themselves. Any client would be lucky to have Steve and his firm on their side.

As an attorney in the Metro Detroit Community, I have friends and clients that ask a referral to "The Best" auto lawyer in the area. I always refer them to Steve Gursten and they are always thankful. Steve is a dedicated professional and one of the best trial lawyers that I know. He also genuinely cares about each client striving to get them every penny (whether it be via a settlement or a trial) that they deserve.

Steven Gursten is a nationally recognized attorney in automobile and truck accident litigation. Trial lawyers from other states refer Michigan based clients to Steven and his firm, because those clients will be the recipients of representation of the highest caliber. Choosing the right attorney is critical to the success of your case. If you are injured in an accident in Michigan, Steven Gursten is the lawyer to call.

I practice law in NYC and have met and gotten to know Steven through several national lawyers' groups where I have had the pleasure of watching him teach trial lawyers how to become better at what they do. Other lawyers love to watch and listen to Steven because his thoughts are always creative and ahead of the curve and he knows how to help us become better advocates for our clients. He has a combination of intelligence, determination, cutting edge skills as well as personal character that make him a unique among trial lawyers. I am also familiar with Steven's many successful results fighting for his own clients in and out of the courtroom. If I needed an attorney to represent me or my family, Steven would be the first person that I would call for advice.

Steve Gursten is the best. He is my first call if I ever have a personal injury matter in Michigan.

Steve and everyone on his team are outstanding lawyers. Their hard work and dedication to their clients are second to none. I have referred multiple clients to Steve and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. For each and every client that I have sent to them they were able to obtain terrific outcomes. Keep up the great work.

Steve Gursten is simply as good as it gets. He is among the top lawyers in the country for cases involving car crashes, trucking crashes, traumatic brain injuries and other serious bodily injuries. Anyone would be fortunate to have Steve on their side.

Steve and his team are my "go to" lawyers for Michigan cases and are always fantastic to work with!!! I highly recommend them for handling truck and auto crashes. They go above and beyond for their clients.

I'm an attorney, but I do not handle litigation and/or auto cases. My mother was struck by a vehicle while walking, and her injuries were catastrophic. I contacted Steve to determine how to proceed, to understand how I could best help and advocate for my mom as she moved through various phases of medical treatment, followed by in and out-patient rehab, and ultimately, hopefully back home with attendant care. I also wanted to understand the pitfalls, and biggest risks (financial and otherwise) my mom would face as we proceeded. I called Steve with the intent of hiring him to handle our case, having heard through the legal community that he had a reputation of having the finest ethics, professionalism, aggressiveness as needed, while also having compassion and patience with his clients and families. Steve proved to have all those attributes and more. Steve gave me a great deal of time during our consultation(s), and invaluable information on what our family could expect and how it made sense for us to proceed legally under our circumstances. Steve was confident I could handle the matter with the third party insurance carrier and did NOT need a lawyer - he was convinced this was a matter that I could handle and did not want to accept payment even though I was prepared to pay him. He stood by me behind the scenes and guided me as needed, and was readily available to answer questions. He is unbelievably knowledgeable, detailed oriented, direct, communicative and available, and simply pleasant to deal with under horrible circumstances. Our case is not over, and I still may need Steve's services in the future. He is, with absolute certainty, the first lawyer to call in case of an auto accident. I'd recommend him with the highest praise for his intelligence, communication, compassion and thorough assistance in our family's time of crisis.

I had the opportunity and the privilege to hear Steve speak at a recent conference regarding traumatic brain injury. Steve was one of the most informative and dynamic speakers at the conference. Steve not only demonstrated his knowledge of the medicine and the law but also his compassion for representing survivors of traumatic brain injury. Steve’s presentation alone, made the 6 hour trip worth the time and investment.

Mr. Gursten is an extremely impressive lawyer, bringing care and justice to so many while giving his time generously to the community, including teaching his unique and successful legal methods to other lawyers.

After hearing Mr. Gursten speak about the dangers of distracted driving, I am inspired to make changes immediately. I have already installed apps on my phone to protect my family when I am driving, but will encourage others to do the same. Mr. Gursten's presentation was informative, influential and jaw dropping. I am so pleased that we had him speak to our parent group to help end distracted driving. I am now completely aware of how we all spend so much time driving under many influences and how we can make the change!

My eyes are opened about the real cost of distracted driving after hearing an informative talk by Steven. He presented facts in a way I could relate and I found myself planning changes even before he finished his presentation. One big take away for me is that it starts with the parents. We need to model the behavior for our children--if I text and drive or fiddle with my phone or enter an address in Waze or chat on the phone--my kids will likely do the same. It's only been one day--but I know I'll be safer and my kids will be safer after Steven's passionate, smart, digestible, presentation.

I have had the privilege of working with attorney Steve Gursten on several high profile trucking crash cases. In addition, I have seen him speak all over the country on many topics having to do with the successful handling and trial of car and truck accident cases. Steve is one of the smartest and most talented lawyers in the country and an amazing business man. He always gets top dollar for his clients and the insurance companies know it. I highly recommend Steve and the lawyers at Michigan Auto Law.

Steve doesn't blink. When he is representing people who have been harmed in a motor vehicle accident anywhere in America, it doesn't matter what any insurance company or trucking company tries to do, Steve stands up for that client. I've seen him do it. It takes courage and he has it.

I had a very serious Accident that deeply affected my health when I was hit by a truck. I interviewed several lawyers and turned to Steve Gursten, the Head trial attorney at Michigan Auto Law for help. Steve was completely engaged with my family and I. He made it a priority to explain the law and the updates in our case so we understood everything and knew what was happening step-by-step. Steve went above and beyond and really fought for me. Steve and Jeff Bussell offered constant contact through phone, email and in person visits and they always returned phone calls right away. I'm just really happy and would refer anyone else to Steve and his law firm in a heartbeat.

I have worked with Steve on several personal injury cases . The experience is always delightful and the results superior . Steve is not only an innovative , hard working lawyer but a true gentleman . He is Michigan's finest .

Steve Gursten is simply one of the best lawyers in the country. Steve cares tremendously about his clients and helping people. I have seen first hand how much attention he gives each and every client who hires him. Steve is also a leading teacher who trains fellow trial lawyers throughout the country on how to best help their clients and maximize their case results. In fact, Steve has been an invited faculty member at dozens of legal seminars, and also organizes legal programs. Steve and his team at Michigan Auto Law have secured record truck and automobile crash case results, both jury verdicts and settlements, for many years. In fact, Steve recently obtained one of the largest trucking settlements in the country ($34,000,000). If you or an injured family member is considering hiring Steve and his firm, I strongly suggest that you let them help. You will will be impressed with their skills, knowledge, dedication, care, and honesty.

Steven Gursten has a well earned national reputation as one of the premier plaintiff civil trial attorneys in the U.S. I have personally worked with both Steven and his law firm on behalf of two clients on separate cases wherein the individual resided in Florida but was injured in Michigan. He is a phenomenal lawyer and an even better person. His staff is equally a pleasure to deal with and the law firm is simply a first class operation. Steven was very attentive to my client's needs and he made certain that this was an easy process for them. I would not hesitate to recommend Steven Gursten or his law firm to anyone who has been physically injured due to the negligence exhibited by an individual or corporation. Steve is known as a pre-eminent trial lawyer, but I was surprised at just how humble and pleasant he is in our dealings. Finally, this is the lawyer you call when your dealing with a defendant with unlimited resources. Steve and his firm have the ability to deal with even the biggest corporate giants and hold them accountable for the harms they caused and the losses you have suffered. - Matthew A. Dolman, Esq.

I was involved in a car accident on October 13, 2012. I have two herniated disks in my neck and I suffer from serious migraine headaches. I had to stop working and I needed to figure out how to be able to care for myself. I also felt someone needed to be held responsible for my injuries. Michigan Auto Law took my case. It helped a lot. I was very depressed after the accident. Even though I have family and friends, having the support from my lawyer Ian made me feel like I had other people in my corner as I was recovering. Ian is very real and straight to the point. He comforted me and was honest about all of the possibilities that could occur in my lawsuit. He spelled everything out for me, like how to process my feelings about the lawsuit all while trying to understand the law and difference stages of my case. Ian and his paralegal Laurie were always available for me whenever I needed anything. My life has changed a lot with this accident. The settlement Ian got me is like a second chance.

Recovering from my car accident was one of the most difficult things I've had to face in my life. My wife and I had no money coming in, we got cut off from my lost wages and had medical bills piling up through the roof. Our rent, DET, gas bills... Nothing was getting paid. My lawyer helped turn my life around. Bobby Raitt is one of the most important people in my life. If I needed anything, he was there for me. We had no money coming in. He loaned us money personally, just so our grandkids could have a Christmas. Bobby made sure I understood everything that was happening with my case before I left the office. It took me a while to understand because of my unbearable mental stress, but he was always patient. And if it wasn't for Bobby talking to me on the phone, I would have lost my mind. My other attorney Alison Duffy helped us just as much as Bobby. I loved her. They were a fantastic team who always protected us. This whole firm is wonderful. Colleen, their secretary is the sweetest lady I ever met. I would recommend this law firm to anybody. They got me an awesome settlement. But the personal support I received from Michigan Auto Law is what really saved my life.

Kevin was great. He was very thorough, always returned my calls. Always answered all my questions. Never not had an answer for anything I asked. Josh Terebelo was another great lawyer to work with. Elize the exec assistant was very knowledgable, helpful and through every time. The team worked very hard for me. Everybody was in the loop and knew what was going on. I was happy everything finally got settled. This is a fantastic firm.

This has been a great experience. very comfortable and everyone has been very knowledgable. Going in you have this confidence that everything's going to be done correctly. Tom James has been great. He's kept me informed. Brandon Hewitt was very knowledgable and very comfortable to talk to. They both were great attorneys. Everything went exactly like they said it would. I'm very satisfied with my settlement. I have already highly recommended this office to a few people.
