Worked with him on both sides of the bargaining table...on opposite sides when he represented Macomb County in mediation during the City of Detroit bankruptcy, and now on the same side that he's working for the City. Guy is a prodigy. He's absolutely relentless. If he's on your side of the table, you're golden. If not, good luck.

I had a ticket from a construction zone with a surprisingly low speed limit. It was residential, so 3 points and 3 years of terrible car insurance rates once my car insurance company got wind of it. I contacted Mr. Schwartz, he indicated he was confident we could get it reduced, and he managed to get it reduced to merely impeding traffic, a fine, no points, no Secretary of State involvement, and just a minor financial burden which is easily forgotten. He delivered on his promise and I'm very happy with the results.

I don't know about this last guy who posted a review but I think Lyle and his staff are the best! They have been handling our bankrutcy case for us and we have never had to wait more than 5 minutes to see anyone there. They are so nice and helpful and answer all our questions (no matter how stupid) The last time we were there they even had cookies! Lyle took so much time with us making sure we had all the information we needed and he had all the information he needed. He is thorough and very detailed, good things for an attorney lol. I trust Lyle and his staff so much I sent my son to them (Who is also very satisfied!)

Attorney Joe Howitt is a very determined and caring man who went an extra mile to see that I didn't, walk away from our case due to all kinds of stress I found myself in. He was patient and honest in handling our case. He had the best interest and well being of my entire family at heart. We had other attorneys but Mr. Howitt's work ethics were impeccable. We are pleased with the outcome of our case. If you need a fighter who will get you top notch results, go for Attorney Joseph Howitt.

Since my accident in 2008, I have had three different attorneys assigned to my case. The only reason I know this is that I have gotten correspondence from three different attorneys, not because any of them have taken the time to speak with me personally. I spoke with an assistant once who called to straighten out some information because she said my file was a mess. I handled all of the disability and claim issues with my own insurance totally on my own. I have been very considerate, and have never bugged them or pressured them to hurry things up. I have done every single thing that was required of me, and provided them with excellent documentation. They sent another attorney to my deposition who didn't even give me a business card, but made off hand statements like my case was "so easy, no wonder the boss took it". When it was discovered that the defendant had low insurance, I was told to go home and check on my policy, even though the paperwork was laid out right there in front of us at the deposition that I have 100,000 coverage for underinsured motorist. I had to point this out to the attorney there. This info never was passed along to "the boss" apparently, because when I called to see what was happening, nobody seemed to remember this. I have lost three days of work for hearings and depositions that were cancelled at the last minute because my attorney was not prepared or had something else come up. He does not return calls, and does not appear to be invested in representing me.

If there were an award for worst attorney ever he'd be a shoe in. Not only did this man share attorney client information from the woman above who claims he stole 10000 dollars from her, he did the same thing to me for 11000. I signed a contract for a fifty thousand dollar settlement with two conditions, I wanted a lump sum and it separate from my attorney fees, he comes back with 31k + 250$ which he then tells me is the total amount, and that the defendant in this case was not forced to honor the contract dollar for dollar, he let it slip that there were two checks, although I only saw one, and had only one document from the clerk that sent the check, and no other settlement documentation that confirmed he received 50k like agreed. Worst ever!
