0 Shares

Car accident lawyer Steve Gursten tells Michigan Lawyers Weekly that commitment is key to successful negotiations

Steven M. Gursten is interviewed by Michigan Lawyers Weekly after his soft-tissue injury car accident case settled for five times the defendant’s auto insurance policy limit – even though Allstate normally offers nothing to settle soft-tissue cases. Gursten, who represented the plaintiff that was in a rear-end collision, said that commitment and preparation are essential in soft-tissue lawsuits.

Allstate has been criticized for refusing to settle soft-tissue injury cases. In the story, Gursten gives tips for car accident lawyers to settle such cases in Michigan – like he did.

My attorneys Kevin and Alex were top notch, no games and fought like I was their only client. Made me feel amazing and was happy and ecstatic about the outcome of my case. I would recommend them to ANYONE looking for a top-notch attorney that will fight for them and still make you feel important. 💯 Awesome lawyers 👍🏼🤘🏻

Eric Behring, Milford, MI
I was on Google looking for an attorney. I settled on Michigan Auto Law because of the reviews. Little did I know, the reviews did in fact match the experience I had with them. Kevin and Alex were always there for me on the communication front. I am very happy with how I was treated, along with the outcome of my case.

Shannon Navock, Brown City, MI
My husband and I had a very prolonged lawsuit against an auto insurance provider on behalf of our son who was seriously injured. Through covid, court delays, and everything else we had to deal with Michigan Auto Law stood by us. We feel that we never would have had a favorable outcome without their expertise. We dealt with four lawyers from their team over the years and they were a great bunch of guys. Very down to earth and easy to talk to, they explained everything clearly through the entire process. We would highly recommend Michigan Auto Law.

Patricia Miller, Wayland, MI
Immaculate services! It was a very swift and quick process. Rick had every answer to my 1 billion questions! He truly has your interest and welfare at heart. During my healing and recovery process I was extremely at ease to know that someone like Rick was taking care of all of the difficult negotiating and problem-solving. Thank you Michigan Auto Law, but more so thank you Rick Houghton!

Brooke Novess, Flushing, MI
I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued. The process was always explained. My attorneys, Alexander P. Kemp and Kevin H Seiferheld, fought hard for me and went above and beyond and did everything that they could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better law firm or attorneys. Thank you!

Kimberly Medaugh, Richmond, MI
I had never been through anything like this before. Lots of attorneys to choose from and I didn’t want to make a bad choice so I started researching. After reading hundreds of reviews I narrowed my search down to 3 attorney offices to represent me. The first one I met with was Michigan Auto Law. I never met with another. They were spot on with all my questions. They immediately set my mind at ease so I could concentrate on healing. They took over from there. My attorney is Rick Houghton and instantly we got along like lifetime friends. The guy never let me down. He answered calls and texts on weekends and after hours if I had questions, not just Monday through Friday bankers hours. He did everything he said he was going to do and never left me in the dark on anything. In the end he got me a higher settlement than I expected and I never had to enter a court room. I actually think of him as a friend now!! You won’t find a better person or attorney!!!

Kip Kidder, Marshall, MI
I experienced a very serious auto accident. The accident devastated me completely. I had multiple herniated discs in my cervical and lumbar, and among other things brain trauma. I felt a great sense of hopelessness. Josh and Jordan Ewald quickly went to work on my auto accident claim, and me as well. They assured me they would do their best for me. I must honestly state Josh exceeded all my expectations in every way. All my legal questions were timely answered and I could contact him anytime. Josh and Jordan kept me timely updated and also kept me fully informed through the complete process until completion. I was grateful and blessed to have Josh and Jordan assigned to handle my auto claim. They were without a doubt simply the BEST! Words and this post cannot express what Josh and team were to me throughout this process. How excellent they handle my auto injury claim. The counseling, the comfort, the assurance he would do his best for me. Josh and Jordan Ewald understood completely. Auto accidents and serious injuries are devastating. I needed an attorney like Josh and experienced and real good! Because I had very difficult issues from the beginning Josh and Jordan were on top of my difficult issues from the very beginning. What a comfort exceeding beyond my expectations. Jordan is awesome!! I was a package with many difficult problems due to the injuries from my auto accident. But Josh guided and helped me solve every problem that came up and always followed-up with me to make sure my problems were solved, and were satisfactorily addressed. Thank you Michigan Auto Law. Thank you Josh and Jordan where would I be, and what would have done without you, your sturdy guidance tremendous patience, understanding with what I was going through and dealing with. Notwithstanding the legal knowledge and advice was always spot on. You guys are terrific in what you know and do. If there’s a better legal team around, it is not on earth. I salute you both!!! They’re # 1. Thanks. My family and I deeply appreciate you both (Josh and Jordan). Winners🏆 ❤️ 🙏

Derrick McKinney, Southfield, MI
Trying to recover from a major auto accident is difficult enough without the added stress brought on by insurance companies. Thankfully, Alexander Kemp represented me and my case. Although I was unprepared for how complex the process could be, Alex guided and strategized with me through every step. In a legal case, the comfort comes from having a reputable attorney who is also a good communicator, and Alex is definitely both. I received an extremely personal level of interaction, meaning nearly all of my correspondences and phone calls were handled directly by Alex and in a timely manner. I highly recommend Michigan Auto Law and Alex Kemp for your auto legal matters!

Lorena Marchese, Rochester Hills, MI
It makes a good difference when you have a good lawyer. With Josh, his listening and speaking skills are just a few of his top qualities. His responsiveness was the best, he did unbelievable research with my case. Josh made magic in my actual trial. He prepared me throughly for this event. Josh literally held my hand, as I did not have to say a word. In order to be a successful attorney, you must all have the traits that Josh possesses. This whole ordeal with my attorney Josh was mind blowing. I admire his composure, work ethic, and most of all, his excellent representation. Jordan Ewald, Amber, and Jordan Jones, credit is well deserved to them for putting the icing on the cake.

Martha Cavill, Lincoln Park, MI
I was coming home from work during traffic time and had been stopped at the red light on a June sunny day when I was rear ended by a detached wood chipper. I had never been in an accident and was stunned by what had happened. There were people looking on, but traffic had been backed up. You don’t know exactly what to do at the moment when you’ve never been in this situation. So many things encompass your thoughts, especially when you’re a senior. Fright, anxiety, police, the negligent party, work, insurance, anger, independence and hurt. How am I going to deal with all this! A family member suggested I need to get in touch with a lawyer for guidance, because this was too over whelming and health, both physically and emotionally, would be a challenge. I put in a call to Michigan Auto Law and began the process. Thank God! Brandon had taken my intake and Mike outlined how the process would proceed. Any questions, and there were multiple ones, I was told to call any time. I then was placed into the hands of Kevin and Alex who have been my guardian angels of whom I hold much gratitude to!!! They are my Davids against the Goliaths of the insurance companies! Elise has been there to explain any paper work that is necessary and oh so pleasant. This family has become my extended one. Again, with much gratitude, I thank you ALL!

Linda Turner, Roseville, MI
I lost the most important person in my world due to someone else’s negligence. I didn’t know what to do or how to make sense of it. Staying up with my thoughts until 3am, I knew that if I didn’t reach out for legal help when it was top of mind I might never do it, so I called Michigan Auto Law right then and there. They put me at ease and started my case right away. They took care of the insurance claim and legal process so I could focus on my family. There is no amount of money that can bring her back to me, but what Tom Baker and Jeremy Tiedt were able to do will help us in finding some peace and closure.

Michael McKee, Three Rivers, MI
I would 100% recommend Michigan Auto Law to anyone looking for representation. Kevin and Alex treated us like family and worked hard to get us our settlement. They made the entire process worry free. They promptly returned my phone calls and emails. They were also extremely thorough when it came to explaining anything pertaining to the case and made sure I understood everything clearly before ending each phone call. They were happy to answer any questions or concerns that I had. They definitely made life a lot easier while dealing with the aftermath of a serious motor vehicle accident. Thank you guys so much!

Brittany Gregory, Burt, MI
Chris and his team did an excellent job for me. Unfortunately, after my auto accident, I had three surgeries. The staff at Michigan Auto Law were very attentive, caring, and compassionate. I mean, Chris made this process totally seamless for me considering the situation I was in. My wife and I will be eternally grateful to Chris and his team.

Kelly Howard, Roseville, MI
I had the pleasure of working with Rick Houghton at Michigan Auto Law and he was excellent. He knew how to navigate through this process and how to help me jump through all the hoops demanded by the insurance adjuster.

This was a lengthy process but Rick’s communication was great and I always knew what was going on. He is extremely easy to talk with and when we needed additional support he put together an excellent team.

The case was settled and the insurance adjuster worked well with Rick in the end to get this resolved.

I’m grateful that I can now put this behind me and I’m lucky to have had an attorney like Rick.

Mark Gaubatz, Traverse City
Alex Kemp was a wonderful attorney for me in my time of need. He was caring and always willing to listen. His staff was amazing as well, always returning my calls and keeping me informed. I will happily recommend Alex and Michigan Auto Law to friends and family in need. Thank you, Alex!

Patricia Whaley-Lauderdale, Detroit, MI
My husband, Glenn, was in a serious car accident in February of 2022. A truck drove into oncoming traffic, and hit my husband head on at 55 mph. Tom and his team were beyond helpful assisting us during such a difficult time. Tonya, Lori, and Tom communicated very well, as it was easy to get in contact with the entire team when needed and they responded in a timely manner. They were friendly and professional at all times. Tom thoroughly explained the process, and gave us an accurate timeline of when each step in the settlement would occur. Tom took the time to answer our questions through the entirety of the process. Tom was forthcoming, honest, and easy to work with. We highly recommend Tom and his team, as they made an awful time easier to deal with due to their positive mindsets. We were very satisfied with the results.

Glenn & Olivia Thompson, Greenville, MI
If I could give more stars I would. I was struck head on by another driver and was left with many issues. Being the sole owner and operator of a start up fitness company, the auto accident left my life decimated. The physical injuries left me unable to walk for months and the loss of my physical ability coupled with the inability to gain new clients put me in a deep mental and financial hole. It felt hopeless for a long time as I figured that I had to eat my losses and move on. Which was a horrific conclusion to realize as I had no fault in this accident. That was until I was able to connect with attorney Rick Houghton and Michigan Auto Law. At first I was slightly skeptical as I had never worked with an attorney for anything. I could not believe how easy they made the process. All they needed was the details from me about my accident and subsequent issues and they took it from there. My settlement changed my life. It got me back on track financially and allowed me the mental space to begin operating and feeling like myself again. I am not one to use the term life saver lightly, but that’s exactly what Michigan Auto Law was for me. I don’t even want to think of where I’d be at now without receiving help from Rick and Michigan Auto Law. Thank you again for all of your help!

Kyle Beyer, Clarkesville, MI
I found Michigan Auto Law through Google. I spoke with a few different law firms, but Michigan Auto Law was the only firm that was clear and decisive about my rights and legal options. They gave me hope that I could make it through my injuries and that I would come out OK on the other side. After speaking with Brandon, he had me with Tom Baker and his team right away. They helped me understand my claims and calmed my confusion regarding my medical treatment. No matter how many questions I had, Tom always took the time to explain things to me. They called every month, even while I was in the hospital. The sense of security I had over the last few years knowing my attorneys were fighting for me was confirmed when my case settled far beyond anything I could have expected. I would like to think that was because of who my attorneys were. Thank you to Tom Baker and all of Michigan Auto Law.

Danielle Washington, Grand Rapids, MI
The entire group of professionals that handled my case at Michigan Auto Law worked tirelessly for me. They helped me to turn one of the worst experiences of my life into something that will help me and my family overcome the challenge that we face daily, after the auto accident. I can not say enough great things about this wonderful group of people, and I would recommend Michigan Auto Law to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation.

Ronald LaGorio, Macomb, MI
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.

While traveling in the Midwest, I was rear ended on a Michigan Freeway. Myself and countless others were at a standstill in construction traffic. Upon the arrival of Law Enforcement, I was advised that the individual who hit me had no insurance and unbeknownst to me Michigan is a “No Fault State,” at the time and had no idea what this meant.

During the next several months I attempted to handle matters on my own with Doctors, X-Rays, MRI’s, Physical Therapy, Insurance, Bills, etc. Finally, it became apparent that even “I was out of my league” and needed legal assistance. Over the course of five months, I was highly referred to and represented by another Michigan Attorney, who shall remain nameless. This Attorney made countless promises and commitments, until I discovered he never followed through on filing even one piece of paperwork on my behalf. This inept Attorney was severely chastised & promptly dismissed.

At this point, I began doing internet research to find “the Best Michigan Auto Accident Lawyer.” The first firm that came up in my search was Michigan Auto Law. At 8:04 PM EST on a Tuesday evening I sent an email to Michigan Auto Law’s Attorney Steven Gursten. Very unexpectedly, I received a “personalized response,” from Attorney Gursten at 8:13 PM EST. Nine Minutes Later, Steven let me know he was in meetings all day on Wednesday; but he would have an Attorney from his firm call me the next day.

Odd but true, Attorney Jeff Bussell called and emailed me on Wednesday. Jeff Bussell and I exchanged over 50 emails between that Wednesday and Friday; doing my initial intake and contract for representation. Unfortunately, during this time I was apprised that my former Attorney was in fact so incompetent that we were approaching a Statute of Limitations to file any legal action. I’m sharing this very prompt and proficient interaction with Attorneys Gursten and Bussell, as this is not my over 40 personal years of experience with Attorneys within any area of expertise….No One ever responds to a prospective new client like this!!! NEVER!

Thank God Michigan Auto Law agreed to take my case and began their very hands on & caring representation. If I had stayed with the other Attorney, I could have easily lost all my rights and any ability to acquire several very expensive, yet vital surgeries and additional medical treatment.

There was also no choice, I had to have these procedures or I would be permanently & severely impaired for the rest of what would easily be a very miserable existence. Having to bear the cost of these surgeries alone would have financially destroyed our family forever.

Subsequently, I was provided with a Litigation Team headed up by Attorney Kevin Seiferheld. For the remainder of my case Kevin and his Assistant Elize took my calls, returned my emails and provided extremely sound advice from beginning to end. After it was all said and done “My Champion,” Kevin Seiferheld provided the utmost legal representation possible. There was never a time where I felt left in the dark or under educated in how my case was being handled. Never, was there one too many “Stupid Questions,” as I called them.

Kevin, Elize and their entire Team could not have been more accessible, efficient, genuine, understanding, patient, forthright or compassionate & empathetic to my injuries, never-ending physical/mental exhaustion, pain and multiple surgeries.

My case settled out of Court. My family and I could not be more grateful for Steven Gursten, Jeff Bussell, Alex Kemp and “Super Rock Stars” Kevin Seiferheld & Elize Vartanian Simon!!!! While closing out my “10 Star Review,” please know that I’m typically that person who leaves the “Bad, Horrific, Scathing, Negative 10 Star Review!” So, I encourage you to believe the words I impart as 100% truthful and heartfelt. Do not hesitate to hire this firm to represent and protect you, your health, your family and your rights.

Thank you Michigan Auto Law from the bottom of our hearts.

Skyler Stapleton, El Dorado, CA
December 23rd of 2020 I was in a serious car accident at which I was young and had no idea of what to do. Rick Houghton helped me for the past 3 years, first settlement I got wasn’t a lot especially for the circumstance of my accident. Well 2 years later he did a lot of research behind the scenes and was able to get me a better settlement than the first. I give praise to this man’s dedication and graciousness to help others even when they may not know.

Hayden Hannahs, Byron Center, MI
TLDR: There are many slimy lawyers, particularly in the personal injury space. Michigan Auto Law is one of the few class-acts. These lawyers recognize that you are going through the worst moments of your life and advise what’s best for YOU vs what will put more money in their wallet.

In the 5+ years which I worked with the team, I could not be more pleased with my attorney Chris Hunter, or his support, Eileen Kelly and Jordan Barkley. They have truly become like family. My case lasted 5 years due to the significant injuries requiring time to stabilize/diagnose; then, COVID started and the courts shut down for much of two years. Chris was nothing but prompt pushing the case along.

When first injured, I searched online for the best law firm. With minimal digging, the choice was clear with Michigan Auto Law because of their reviews and the legitimacy of their website/advertisements. While many other practices appeared slimy from the start, even in reviews, Michigan Auto Law had an immediate upstanding appearance. It is clear they target a certain caliber of client with genuine meat to their case vs seeking misinformed clients who the lawyer can puppet their words (and life) into whatever they wish to make money. It’s unfortunate that those in a lawsuit need to be careful with the appearance of everything they do. There are a lot of lawyers who would have urged me to stay out of work far longer than I did in an effort to “milk” the case. Even with my doctors advising me to stay out, Chris fully supported my decision to return for my own mental state and chance to regain normalcy in my life. He cared about my quality of life and NEVER insinuated I should hold back on living just for the risk of appearing better off than I was. He recognized I was in a terrible place and needed any joy I could grab.

Likewise, many lawyers ask clients to milk the extent of injuries. I NEVER felt the slightest pressure from Chris to speak louder or more critically of my injuries. Never once did Chris encourage me to go to one of “his” doctors for hope of a diagnosis which leaned more severe than those by my selected doctors. I was proactive in researching my own care and so I did not need recommendations, but should I have wanted this, I am confident that he would have only named doctors to take the most action in improving my conditions. I received a settlement for my case. The amount was not life-changing nor did it “make-up” for all the suffering I had endured, but it did cover some adjustments needed in my life due to the accident so I am glad that I pursued. My case was complicated (multiple vehicles, multiple faults, none with sufficient liability coverages). My injuries were largely “invisible” (brain injury, PTSD, back pain, etc.). Chris was thorough in identifying insurance company spins and provided solid evidence to the contrary.

The unfair truth is that if you’re not missing a limb or out of work the rest of your life, it’s unlikely you will get millions of dollars for “pain”. The guidance provided by Michigan Auto Law all around was invaluable and another reason I am glad I pursued the case. I do not believe another company would have provided so much support through my recovery, which was chaotic balancing bills, insurance, doctors, work leave, etc.; all of which were firsts for me. Overall, my experience with this company was superb. From “on-boarding” to closure, I was impressed with the level of professionalism everyone, even secretaries answering the phones, had with me.

Beyond their professionalism, they are people. Chris would routinely call me, evenings and weekends, when he was aware that I may be distressed in any way (i.e. insurance denying medical benefits, difficult medical diagnosis, general stress about suit, etc.). He made it his top priority to help me through this difficult time, all while exemplifying a top-notch attorney whose years of experience are clear by all the tricks he employed to hold insurance companies.

Courtney Tamaro, Riverview, MI
Awesome lawyers and great communication. Love this group of people…you could do no wrong in picking them to stand for justice…Kevin and Alex are there for you…

Love you all, 5 stars plus.

Melissa Breedlove, Applegate, MI
Our attorney Rick Houghton has been amazing. My husband was killed in a motorcycle accident where the driver was clearly negligent. Rick listened. If we had questions he answered them. He didn’t pass us off to a paralegal. He took an actual part in our case even helping with issues when it came to the disbursement when we had family that thought they deserved more than what they were going to get. He has been supportive and helpful. He gave us real timelines for our case to be finished as well. I cannot recommend them enough. I pray you never need them but if the time comes and you find yourself dealing with the loss of a loved one, these people know their business.

Jeanette Cross, Bloomingdale, MI
From the very first call, when I contacted Michigan Auto Law, I knew this was the firm I needed to handle my case. From Mickey, Josh, Jackie, and Amber, I received the best information, knowledge, and help from start to finish. I also appreciate the efficiency of how the case was handled.

I can say that Michigan Auto Law is number one and best in class. Do yourself a favor and call them!

Aseel Al-Dahhan, Dearborn Heights, MI
I hired an attorney when I got into an accident. I started to regret my decision and decided to look for another firm. That’s when I found Michigan Auto Law. Everything I was lacking from my old firm, is what I found in Michigan Auto Law. My attorney Chris helped to guide me through the entire process. Chris made sure to make the focus my health and recovery. He handled all the heavy lifting. I have already referred several people from my job to Michigan Auto Law.

Quiana Glenn, Westland, MI
We appreciate all you did for us throughout this process, and we say Thank You to Rick Houghton and his team! You were sympathetic to our situation, and kept us informed and educated. Communication was always timely, and if we had any questions, there was always someone to answer our questions. We were referred by a dear friend, and we would definitely recommend Mr. Houghton, and utilize his services again if necessary!! It was a journey we never thought we’d go on, but you made us more confident in our decisions along the way, and for that we are grateful!

Mark Menne, Ostego MN
I highly recommend Michigan Auto Law.

Kevin Seiferheld & Alex Kemp are excellent Attorneys and always very professional. I also want to say thank you to Elize and Daniella for their hard work.

I highly recommend this firm and was happy with my results. Thank you.

Pete Gennero, Macomb Township, MI
I had an amazing time working with this law firm.

Very smooth sailing, professional, and committed to getting you your highest pay out!

Jaelynn Rutherford, Wayne, MI
I was injured in a car crash after which I was scared for the future of myself and my family. Keven and Alex treated us like family, and made sure to put all of my worries to rest. I highly recommend Michigan Auto Law and specifically Kevin and Alex. Great communication, great representation, they will take care of you like their own. I don’t honestly know how my life would have turned out without their leadership, advice, and representation. Thanks to them I feel I have my life back. I’ll never be able to thank Kevin and Alex for all they’ve done for me. You will not be disappointed.

Jeff Middleton, Flushing, MI
You were amazing and kept us all informed through the process.

I would recommend you to anyone.

Gary Courtney, Battle Creek, MI
Thank You, Rick Houghton!…You helped me through what I consider the biggest test of my well-being, quality of life, and happiness that I was trying to be robbed of. My life is not perfect, but I can at least make the most of it knowing I will not be burdened the rest of my life with medical bills that I could no longer work to pay for. Your legal experience in fighting for my health care gave me quality of life back and peace of mind for a future that is worth struggling through daily pain for. Thank you so much for fighting for me, justice, and the right thing. Peace to you and yours always.

Kathy Polaski, Midland, MI
I can go on and on about the entire staff and will not be able to repay everything they did for me, as soon as I entered Michigan Auto Law’s building, I felt I was in the right place! Front desk was very welcoming and everyone there was smiling and very nice.

I am so grateful for Michigan Auto Law for helping me get through my case, honestly, I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Fadi Esho, Sterling Heights, MI
I called several attorney offices after my accident. When I called Michigan Auto Law, I knew this was the firm I would choose. It was evident with the very first phone call. My attorney Josh was very specific, to the point, clear, and concise. In turn, he is also thoughtful, pleasant, and had great follow through. There were no hiccups for me through the entire process. Michigan Auto Law is the only firm I will ever recommend, along with being the first and only firm I will ever call if I am involved in another auto accident.

Eric Richard, Benton Harbor, MI
Kevin, Alex, and Elize were amazing! They always answered my questions and helped with everything along the way.

Great communication and great lawyers! I highly recommend them!

Dana Prieskorn, Clinton Township, MI
If you are searching for the right law firm to assist you, search no further!

The lawyers at Michigan Auto Law have been nothing but knowledgeable, professional and concerned for my well being both physically and mentally. They were always quick to respond to my many questions, providing answers and guidance to give me peace of mind.

I placed all trust in my lawyers and HIGHLY recommend them and the Michigan Auto Law firm.

Thank you Rick, Tim and Jason!

Lou Ann Kirkpatrick, Stanwood, MI
I am so happy with Michigan Auto Law and especially Rick Houghton. I was on the fence about even hiring a lawyer and everyone at Michigan Auto Law made me feel confident and answered all of my questions patiently. My case was not black and white, and it took a while, but Rick pushed forward and settled for 2x what we originally thought. I would highly recommend Rick and Michigan Auto Law to my family and friends.
