Everything you need is all taken care of at Michigan Auto Law. A very difficult process was made very clear and easy thanks for my attorney Mike Shaffer. Recovering from my car crash was a lot. It was emotionally taxing, there was physical trauma. Mike understood us from the emotional and legal standpoint. He was very sensitive and protective. I highly recommend this firm. Everyone from the secretaries, the paralegals and the lawyers did perfect work from start to finish.

I was rear-ended and suffered serious injuries. I was unaware of my no-fault rights and had no idea what to do. I found Michigan Auto Law and they aided me in per suing my rights. They faught for my rights and helped to get me what I deserved. They arranged for my medical treatment when the insurance company refused to pay. I whole-heartedly recommend this law firm as they are knowledgeable, helpful, and compassionate.

I would have lost my house, and car if it weren’t for my attorney. After my accident, I originally had a local lawyer representing me and she thought I would do better if I got a specialist, because she didn’t think many people would take the case. It was a tough one that wasn’t worth much because the driver that hit me was uninsured. A 16 year old who was driving without a drivers license, without a vehicle being registered and without insurance ran into a vehicle with my daughter and myself.

I used Michigan Auto Law when I had my first auto accident. I had such a great experience with them that I decided to see them again after my second accident. If I could give them 10 stars I would. I only have eyes for one auto accident law firm, and thats Michigan Auto Law. My attorney Josh did such a wonderful job and was a joy to work with.

I did not experience working a case with Michigan Auto Law, but it sounded like the sort of place that might answer questions about the Michigan Mini-tort law and other arcane Michigan legal matters. And they did, Jennille Oram, their client care specialist, did, at generous length and detail and completely for free.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
