A Lifeline After a Devastating Truck Accident

After a severe truck accident left my husband with life-altering injuries, we were overwhelmed. From our first meeting, Steven Gursten demonstrated a profound understanding of Michigan's complex auto insurance laws. His 33 years of experience, particularly in serious injury cases, were immediately evident. He and his team at Michigan Auto Law meticulously built our case, explaining every step without jargon. Steven’s reputation, including his recognition as Lawyer of the Year, is well-earned. He fought tenaciously against the insurance company, securing a settlement that truly reflects the long-term care my husband needs. We weren't just another case file; we felt genuinely supported. His expertise from lecturing nationally translated directly to our benefit. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
