Michigan Auto Law has built a 50-year tradition focused on representing people injured in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. Unlike general practice personal injury firms, Michigan Auto Law focuses exclusively on auto accident cases, allowing its attorneys to develop deep experience in the unique legal and insurance issues that arise from these crashes. Their attorneys also limit the number of cases each attorney handles so they can invest more time and attention into the people they represent. Representing clients throughout Michigan, Michigan Auto Law has built a practice centered on personal attention, communication, and advocacy for those injured 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.”
