I am a trial attorney in North Dakota. Steve took the time to travel to Bismarck, ND to provide some training to attorneys on understanding how to help people who have suffered brain injuries, including those arising from low speed car accidents. He later followed up with me on email by exchanging ideas and sending me some notes regarding his ideas and research on different issues. He did not ask for anything in return from me. A year later, I was able to make a difference for a client using some of his ideas. He is a smart, authentic, and driven attorney, and I highly recommend him.

I’m an attorney in California and have had the pleasure of co-counseling with Steve Gursten on a catastrophic injury matter. Steve is one of the most well-respected trial attorneys in the country, a leader in auto and trucking litigation as well as in trial technique, and a wonderful mentor to other attorneys. I highly recommend him for any case.

Steve is one of the best trial lawyers and mentors I know. You have to have an attorney that’s always willing to go all the way for you and with you, and that’s exactly who Steve is. I could not recommend him more highly.

I’ve known Steve for roughly a decade. In that time, I have heard him speak at seminars, I’ve worked on cases with him, and I’ve referred numerous clients to him. He is an absolute professional, an outstanding advocate for his clients, and just an all-around exceptional lawyer.

Working with Steve over the years has been amazing. I feel like we have such a positive impact in this world by helping people through such a difficult time. I would recommend him and Michigan Auto Law to anyone.

First, I want to state that I am an attorney, who has been practicing law for nearly 25 years. I have known Mr. Gursten both personally and professionally for his entire legal career. I also know several of the associates at his firm. Steve and his firm, Michigan Auto Law, have a fantastic reputation. They are among the most successful auto attorneys in the state. I know that Steve works tirelessly for his clients to get them what they deserve. He has a track record of verdicts and settlements that any personal injury attorney would be proud of. His hundred of stellar Google reviews speak for themselves. Any client would be lucky to have Steve and his firm on their side.

Attorney Gursten is a superb trial lawyer who cares deeply about his clients and someone who fights extremely hard for them. He is also a leader and he has accomplished major, positive legal/legislative changes for consumers in Michigan. I highly recommend Attorney Gursten as he is the best of the best. Mark K.

As an attorney in the Metro Detroit Community, I have friends and clients that ask a referral to "The Best" auto lawyer in the area. I always refer them to Steve Gursten and they are always thankful. Steve is a dedicated professional and one of the best trial lawyers that I know. He also genuinely cares about each client striving to get them every penny (whether it be via a settlement or a trial) that they deserve.

Steven Gursten is a nationally recognized attorney in automobile and truck accident litigation. Trial lawyers from other states refer Michigan based clients to Steven and his firm, because those clients will be the recipients of representation of the highest caliber. Choosing the right attorney is critical to the success of your case. If you are injured in an accident in Michigan, Steven Gursten is the lawyer to call.

I practice law in NYC and have met and gotten to know Steven through several national lawyers' groups where I have had the pleasure of watching him teach trial lawyers how to become better at what they do. Other lawyers love to watch and listen to Steven because his thoughts are always creative and ahead of the curve and he knows how to help us become better advocates for our clients. He has a combination of intelligence, determination, cutting edge skills as well as personal character that make him a unique among trial lawyers. I am also familiar with Steven's many successful results fighting for his own clients in and out of the courtroom. If I needed an attorney to represent me or my family, Steven would be the first person that I would call for advice.

Steve Gursten is the best. He is my first call if I ever have a personal injury matter in Michigan.

Steve and everyone on his team are outstanding lawyers. Their hard work and dedication to their clients are second to none. I have referred multiple clients to Steve and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. For each and every client that I have sent to them they were able to obtain terrific outcomes. Keep up the great work.

Steve Gursten is simply as good as it gets. He is among the top lawyers in the country for cases involving car crashes, trucking crashes, traumatic brain injuries and other serious bodily injuries. Anyone would be fortunate to have Steve on their side.

Steve and his team are my "go to" lawyers for Michigan cases and are always fantastic to work with!!! I highly recommend them for handling truck and auto crashes. They go above and beyond for their clients.

They claim to be, "Arguably the best", which for me has yet to be proven. I called today about my auto accident and was told, "the case is too hard". So Ms. Dunbar, the woman I spoke to, proceeds to refer me to another lawyer in Southfield. Wait a minute! Isn't this firm "Arguably the best"? If the best has to refer me to someone else, they aren't the best. BEWARE: Anytime a law office refers you, they get a portion of your settlement, if the firm they referred you to wins, its called a referral fee. If my case is too hard and you're not doing the hard work, why should you get paid?

Response from owner

We’d like to help every person who calls us, but that’s not possible. While we understand you are upset and disappointed we could not accept you as a client, both attorney Brandon Hewitt and attorney Jeff Bussell did answer your questions, and both explained the requirements of Michigan’s No-Fault auto insurance law. Obviously I cannot and will not divulge here why they said we cannot help you, but we did patiently explain it to you on 3 separate occasions. We even gave you another law firm to call for a second opinion. We would like every person who calls us to have a great experience, even when the news we must deliver is not what you are hoping to hear. We’ve found that most people appreciate when we are upfront with them about the law and our analysis of how that will apply to them.

I'm an attorney, but I do not handle litigation and/or auto cases. My mother was struck by a vehicle while walking, and her injuries were catastrophic. I contacted Steve to determine how to proceed, to understand how I could best help and advocate for my mom as she moved through various phases of medical treatment, followed by in and out-patient rehab, and ultimately, hopefully back home with attendant care. I also wanted to understand the pitfalls, and biggest risks (financial and otherwise) my mom would face as we proceeded. I called Steve with the intent of hiring him to handle our case, having heard through the legal community that he had a reputation of having the finest ethics, professionalism, aggressiveness as needed, while also having compassion and patience with his clients and families. Steve proved to have all those attributes and more. Steve gave me a great deal of time during our consultation(s), and invaluable information on what our family could expect and how it made sense for us to proceed legally under our circumstances. Steve was confident I could handle the matter with the third party insurance carrier and did NOT need a lawyer - he was convinced this was a matter that I could handle and did not want to accept payment even though I was prepared to pay him. He stood by me behind the scenes and guided me as needed, and was readily available to answer questions. He is unbelievably knowledgeable, detailed oriented, direct, communicative and available, and simply pleasant to deal with under horrible circumstances. Our case is not over, and I still may need Steve's services in the future. He is, with absolute certainty, the first lawyer to call in case of an auto accident. I'd recommend him with the highest praise for his intelligence, communication, compassion and thorough assistance in our family's time of crisis.
