Michigan Auto Law has built a 50-year tradition devoted to representing people injured in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. Unlike general practice personal injury firms, Michigan Auto Law concentrates exclusively on auto accident cases, enabling its attorneys to develop deep expertise in the distinctive legal and insurance challenges that stem from these collisions. Their lawyers also restrict the number of cases each attorney handles, allowing them to dedicate more time and attention to the individuals they serve. Representing clients across Michigan, Michigan Auto Law has established a practice centered on personalized care, communication, and advocacy for those harmed in auto accidents.
"We believe there is a direct connection between the way we care for our clients and the results we achieve for them," stated Steve Gursten, Owner and Attorney at Michigan Auto Law. "Our attorneys are intentionally focused on fewer cases so they can devote the time and resources necessary to each person we represent. We have built a firm around the believe that clients deserve more than just a lawyer handling their case, they deserve an attorney who is accessible, communicates with them and truly understands what they are going through. These awards are gratifying because they recognize not only individual attorneys, but the commitment to our entire team to doing this work the right way."
