10 Michigan Auto Law attorneys have been named Michigan Super Lawyers in 2023, 9 have been voted as Best Lawyers in America for 2024 and 3 are listed among the ‘Ones To Watch’
It would be an understatement to say there are a lot of personal injury lawyers in Michigan. Most Michiganders are subjected to what feels like an endless stream of lawyer commercials and billboards and the rest would probably say too many!
But here’s a secret. There aren’t enough good ones. And no where is this truer than when it comes to personal injury lawyers.
Yes, we live in a world where it feels like you can sometimes throw a rock and hit a lawyer. But not all lawyers are the same. And that’s an important thing to keep in mind.
There are certain things that we can say at Michigan Auto Law that no other auto accident lawyer or personal injury law firm in the state can say:
- Michigan Auto Law is the only law firm in the entire state that specializes exclusively in car, truck and motorcycle accident cases – and we have done so for more than 50 years.
- We have, objectively, the best auto accident lawyers with a proven track record of success in helping people who’ve been hurt in auto accidents. This factually includes more million-dollar auto accident verdicts and million-dollar injury settlements for people hurt in auto accident cases than any other law firm in Michigan.
- We have the largest ever truck accident and auto accident settlement of any Michigan lawyer or law firm.
- Michigan Auto Law attorneys are the most honored and awarded car accident lawyers in the state.
- Even more important than the record verdicts and the settlements are what can’t be measured. Things like caring. And in a world of big TV advertisers and high volume legal mills, we care more.
With Over 2,000 5-star reviews from real clients we have helped (unlike many of the other law firms in Michigan that clearly have to buy hundreds of clearly fake reviews to make up for terrible reviews from their own clients), we treat each and every person we help with compassion, care and respect. This includes a guarantee that every phone call will always be returned within 24 hours, no matter what, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Now this is all a rather long wind-up to my announcing today that 10 of our Michigan Auto Law attorneys have been selected to the Michigan Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists for 2023. This is a list of the best and most “outstanding attorneys” in Michigan. The Super Lawyers 2023 list is limited to the top 5% of all Michigan lawyers.
I’m personally honored to add that I have been added again as one of the top 50 lawyers in the State of Michigan, out of more than 65,000 lawyers in this state.
I’m also proud to announce that for the 17th consecutive year, our auto accident attorneys have again been voted to the very exclusive The Best Lawyers in America 2024 list, which is limited to the “top 5.3% of elite lawyers in the nation.”
Three of our car accident lawyers were also included in the list of The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch for 2024 for their work in “Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs.” This award from Best Lawyers in America highlights “the most elite rising legal talent in the country.”
What does it all mean?
These legal awards and legal honors are always nice, but what’s much more important is what these awards and honors represent.
In a legal profession consisting of too many injury lawyers and too many mills of ambulance chasers who have huge caseloads to “feed the beast” by supporting massive TV advertising and marketing campaigns, these legal honors and awards show a different way to practice law.
Our attorneys have fewer cases so we can invest more time into the cases of the people we help. We put clients first (not signing as many cases as we possibly can to pay for big television advertising budgets). This means our attorneys actually have time to return phone calls and can work harder on our cases, and the proof is in the pudding – bigger settlements and faster settlements for the clients we represent. We pride ourselves on treating everyone we are honored to help with care and with dignity. Being accessible to our clients and maintaining excellent communication is the rule, not the exception. We know that by putting in the hard work and investing long hours to help our clients, the results we achieve for them will be the best possible auto accident settlements and car accident and truck accident verdicts in Michigan, just as it has been.
There is no magic. The magic is understanding that it actually takes caring and great communication and working the long hours necessary to achieve great results.
It would be a better legal industry and the public’s perception of lawyers today would be a lot higher if more personal injury lawyers chose to practice law this way.
