I had the privilege of working with Bill and I cannot recommend him highly enough not only as an outstanding attorney but also a compassionate and effective professional. His commitment to professionalism and ethical practices stood out throughout our interactions. His attention to detail, analytical skills and thorough understanding of how to best fight for you through the legal process were impressive. Going through legal matters can be emotionally challenging, but Bill’s empathetic yet pragmatic approach made a significant difference. He patiently guided me through the divorce process including mediation sessions, ensuring that my concerns were addressed and my rights protected. Thank you, Bill, for your exceptional service!

I had a really wonderful experience working with Lise. First off, I found out about Lise because she was referred to me from another one of her clients who had told me she went above and beyond for them, and because of her knowledge in her field she was able to work magic and get him additional benefits in his divorce case. When I had started working with Lise, i TRUSTED her completley throughout the process. My case was a child support/custody/ paternity case and she got me everything i asked for and more! I wanted to have my first born sons name changed since my kids father is not involved, and a previous lawyer i talked to immidietley told me that this would not be possible. Lise was able to fight for me and for the things i wanted no matter what I asked, she had a very Yes before No attitude and was willing to try. This process was painless and she was absolutley worth the investment. I will be recommending her to anyone i know that needs a lawyer in family law. Lise, thankyou thankyou so much! The work you do changes peoples lives and you have definatley impacted mine.
Best wishes, Sam!

Lise was by far one of the most capable and knowledgeable lawyers I could have hoped for. She was consistently able to determine the best response and course of action to mitigate the conflict. She is willing to fight tooth and nail for her client, but maintains a rational, level head when developing a game plan. I highly recommend her services for anyone struggling to come to terms with their spouse and separation.

When does a business fulfill an emotional purpose for you in a critical time & it pays off? Life doesn't look the same when you've suffered a serious injury. The first thing that happened when I told reception about my case, I was talking to Sam, himself, who I've seen in commercials since I was a kid. I don't know if he's there to do that every time, but all of their staff were efficient and on point the whole time, and I felt that I was cared about as part of the case. That let me focus on healing to get back to my life.

After an auto crash I was involved in at the end of 2015, I was referred to Mike by a family friend. I was hesitant at first because he was an "unknown". In today's world, there are so many advertisements for personal injury attorneys that it makes it tough to decide. I hired Mike in early 2016 and liked how he was upfront with me about the process and provided realistic expectations. Unfortunately, I learned immediately that I didn't have enough coverage. This was hard to hear but a learning experience none the less. Throughout 2016, Mike kept me updated on my case as needed and he was always responsive when I had questions. In 2017, I settled the personal injury case. While I thought I deserved more(who doesn't), I was satisfied to get what I received and only just over a year from the crash.
As I left Mike's office in 2017, I didn't imagine ever going back.
Not because of anything Mike did but because I was moving forward and wanted this behind me. However, more injuries from the crash manifested themselves in 2017 and 2018 to the point where I was unable to work anymore. I set up a meeting with Mike in the summer of 2018 and ended up hiring him a second time to go after my insurance provider for loss wages and medical expenses. Mike advised us that we were within the three year window to collect and that he would be able to get those for me. After quite a bit of back and forth between the insurance provider, Mike, and myself, he was ultimately correct again and we received a settlement in November of 2019.
As evidenced by me hiring Mike twice within the last four years, I would recommend him to anyone involved in an auto accident in Michigan.

After being involved in a car accident where the other driver tried to run after she rear ended me, my chiropractor directed me to Mr. Kohn for help with my injury. He was extremely accommodating for my schedule to meet up, very professional and thorough with my case. He worked very hard for me and I absolutely would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer. Mr. Kohn was able to help me win a settlement and I am very thankful for his assistance. He's a great lawyer and a more importantly, he's a nice and personable man as well!

Mr Kohn is an excellent lawyer who put me at ease from day one. He came highly recommended from a colleague, and he did not disappoint. This was my first real case with a lawyer, and he always explained facts and details precisely, without talking "down to" me.
He expertly guided me through all the processes, and won my settlement. I highly recommend this man.

Mr. Kohn was referred to me by another well-known colleague of his, and I could not have hired a better lawyer! He continuously supported me throughout the entire case, from 2018-2021, and with exceptional compassion, might I add. Mr. Kohn fought hard for justice, and he truly showed how much he cares as a person when he represented me. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Kohn because you will not find a more supportive, caring, and professional attorney anywhere else! I could not be happier with the outcome and I have Mr. Leslie Kohn to thank!

I hired Randy to handle a wrongful death case as he was referred to me. Best decision ever!! He was extremely respectful and caring the years it took to fight (Major slow down within the court system due to Covid). If he didn’t answer my call, he always promptly called me back. He answered all my questions and concerns EVERY TIME I asked. I was kept in the loop and always knew what was happening. I would recommend him and his law firm to anyone needing an accident and/or injury lawyer. We did win our case as he never gave up the fight!!

I hired Howard after sustaining serious injuries in an accident. Howard followed up and met with me personally, right away. Howard approached the case aggressively, and fought like a tiger for the case through the entire process. He was ethical, transparent, and worked in my interests, while maintaining professionalism with the defense. Despite the legal system in MI being tilted against the injured party, due to Howard's expertise and hard work, I achieved a good outcome. I recommend Howard without reservation.

I used Mr Radner after being hit by a car on a bicycle path and was hurt pretty bad. The driver claimed I caused the accident.
Thanks to Mr. Radner he brought out the truth and I recovered reimbursement for missed work, injuries, suffering ...
I was very impressed with Mr Radner's honesty, integrity and ethics. His command of the law brought a very satisfactory recovery for this difficult situation. He was also very compassionate during the legal process which was an additional plus during that trying time.
I highly recommend Mr. Radner without any reservations at all!

I’m exceptionally happy working with Jerry Thurswell. I was given straightforward, honest information from a well-informed, seasoned professional like him and also he was able to represent me in the court for a large settlement case that I filed against a friend of mine who betrayed me after running away a huge amount of money. Jerry was very on point and did a great job on my case. I highly recommend him.

I got into a car accident and had injuries. While I was struggling to recover, I simply did not have the capacity to deal with the insurance companies. Once I decided to use the services of Jerry Thurswell, I immediately felt at ease. He gave me all the information on how we would proceed with my case, put me in contact with the doctors that I needed for my recovery and handled everything with the insurance companies. I ended up getting all my bills covered and feeling like I was really taken care of during a time when I needed it. I would definitely recommend Jerry Thurswell to everyone.

Barry and his extraordinary Team at Conybeare Law Office are the best and were with us every step of the way with our case. He communicated a game plan and a time line and we were off and running. Phone calls and emails were always answered promptly. Even when snags and delays occurred that were out of our control, Barry pushed on (even through the pandemic). Every detail of our case was looked at, focus groups were consulted, and detailed depositions conducted. No stone was left unturned. His experience really paid off for us and we are grateful.

Our family has had the pleasure of working with Barry and Conybeare Law office over the course of 8 years. We went through many ups and downs and hit road bumps but Barry was always by our side and kept us positive. Finally at the end of our journey, the case won, Barry continued to be by our side until every little detail was checked. He always texted, was considerate, gave advice, guided us and stood by even when he didn’t need to. I can’t have had a better law firm representing our family.
Thank you Barry and Conybeare law office!

Matthew Curtis is a truly excellent attorney. He and his staff, especially Linda, always treated me with the utmost respect.
His extreme expertise, personability, and patience helped guide me through the crazy stress following my auto accident.
Matt always answered all of my MANY questions with kindness and made sure I understood the process. I will be forever grateful for all he has done!!!
Matt Curtis went above and beyond throughout my entire case, even guiding me afterward- making him, in my eyes, "The Best of the Best."

I was referred to Matt Curtis from an attorney's office in my city. From the first telephone conversation with Matt and his team I felt confident I didn't need to look any further for an attorney. Matt Curtis was the correct person for the medical malpractice case for my husband's death. My decision was confirmed every step of the way that I had indeed been referred to the best lawyer I could possibly have hoped for. I know for sure he would have had my husbands stamp of approval. Matt is extremely dedicated to his clients and their best interest. He is down to earth, friendly, compassionate, easy to work with and a fighter for his clients. Whenever I needed to talk to him he always asked about how I was doing before he got down to business. He saw and treated me as a person and not just a case file. He stayed on top of my case, kept progress moving forward and kept me informed every step of the way. Matt worked hard to get justice for my husband. He responds to emails and telephone calls in a very timely manner. He was there for me! He is extremely knowledgeable about the law he practices. Venturing into a medical malpractice case was a daunting task. Matt made it manageable. His staff is incredible. They all hold themselves to high standards. Beyond the outstanding knowledge and professionalism, I appreciated his down to earth friendly approach. I always felt like I was talking to a friend rather than an attorney. You want the best? Hire Matt Curtis. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Matthew Curtis was recommended to me and after the initial consultation with him, I knew that I didn’t need to look any further for an attorney. I would like to say my case was as easy as pulling a rabbit out of a hat, but on the contrary, I had a very difficult case. Matt believed in me for the start and worked very hard to get a judgement that far exceeded my expectations. He explained everything to me from start to finish and if I had a question, he responded immediately - Matt is the consummate professional. As I was leaving the building after my deposition, I bumped into the court reporter who took my statement and she stated, “you have a great attorney.” Although, I knew that Matt Curtis was an amazing attorney, it was nice to get confirmation from a court reporter working with hundreds of attorneys, that I did in fact have the best attorney. Also, I thankful for the staff at Somers Schwartz and their assistance with my case. Thank you Matt Curtis for everything.

I had the opportunity to meet David several years ago when a friend recommended him. I had been involved in an automobile accident that led to a serious back injury. David was professional, kind and straightforward from the get go. His considerable knowledge of medicine and pharmacology was impressive and definitely improved his ability to understand my case. David was extremely thorough and had an uncanny ability to discuss very personal aspects of my physical situation with grace and understanding. My husband is a physician and was very impressed with David's medical knowledge.
At the end of this case David was able to procure a great settlement for us, and has since become a friend. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend David Mittleman and his firm. David has a high sense of integrity and takes on each client as a personal mission. any client would be in superb hands with David's representation.

Mr. Stephenson has represented a number of my insured physicians (eight) through their medical malpractice trials and has done an excellent job in every instance. In each case, we received a favorable verdict, due in no small part to Michael's exhaustive pre-trial preparations and good calls during trial. He and his support staff/associates do a good job during discovery and kept everyone involved and informed. The physicians appreciate him and he does well with Juries and judges. I recommend him without hesitation.

Attorney Russell Gregory has proven to be a dedicated, compassionate attorney who truly follows his philosophy with attention and care. He listens to each individual, giving them the time they deserve, without feeling rushed. He works directly with people to find the absolute best course of action for every individual. He truly is an outstanding and amazing professional.
Many months ago I contacted him in regard to a medical malpractice case. Because of the unique nature of our case, he felt we would be best served if we used another attorney, who focused on our special type of medical situation; he did not abandon the case. Instead, he began to reach out to his network of attorneys to help us find an attorney who could find justice for us. He always remained available to consult with us and personally contacted us back, always in an extremely timely manner. Mr. Gregory has proven that he is one of the fiercest advocates for his clients and those who have been wronged and left damaged by medical professionals.
The professionalism, wisdom, compassion and dedication Mr. Gregory has shown us is truly something I have never experienced before and will never forget. Not only is his knowledge of medical issues and the law extremely impressive. There is also the human factor and his gift of compassion, resourcefulness and thoughtfulness about every person or potential client who is fortunate enough to contact him. He demonstrates outstanding strength of character. I cannot stress enough what a phenomenal attorney and person Russell Gregory is. I absolutely would recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled attorney, that specializes in many areas including, medical malpractice, birth trauma and personal trauma. Your search is over; you’ve found the best in him!

While needing to hire a lawyer was not on my list of things to do in life, being in a position where I needed one brought me to the Rodenhouse Law Group. Wonderful people from start to finish. Audra McClure was amazing with communication from the initial meeting to the final contact.

I used Mr. Topa to help with tax questions. He spent a great deal of time going over the material with me, helping me to understand the different "elections" and the effects they would have. I was very pleased with the outcome. I was, however, disappointed with some of the waiting. I wish he would call more often to update.

Chris worked with me very closely. He took the time to explain all the proceeding and the different options available to me. He came out to me on several occassions and would even meet with me on weekends when my work scheduled prohibited me coming by the office during normal office hours.

I met Peter when I needed a lawyer because of a malpractice issue that resulted in permanent harm. It was a very hard time for me and I had no idea how to proceed given that I was still quite ill. Peter was thorough, negotiated with the hospital attorneys on my behalf and worked tirelessly on my behalf. He was a true advocate for patient rights. He kept a cool head but it was obvious that he always had my best interest at heart. In the end, a very fair settlement was reached. I could never have gone through this difficult process without Peter's guidance and advocacy.

Peter Davis was very knowledgeable and helpful in obtaining a judgement for me after my husband fell, sustained a head injury and died. These events and subsequent lawsuits are never easy but he and his colleagues brought me through the process thoughtfully and skillfully with more than satisfactory results.

In 2010 I was in an accident in a store that is owned by a large corporation. . Before my wife and I were able to leave for the ER at the Hospital the Management at the store insisted that I fill out their injury forms.
They offered to call an ambulance, but I was taken to the Emergency Room by my wife instead of waiting longer for an ambulance.
The accident caused new injury to my cervical area and reinjured a previous Cervical Fusion that I had in 2001.
The ER took X-rays and said to see my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon within three days. I made an appointment with my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon, He sent me for an MRI and other tests. It was determined that surgery would be necessary to repair the new injury and the additional new injury to the previous cervical fusion.
During this time I received a letter from the corporation which denied any responsibility for my injury and told me to use my personal insurance to pay for any injuries I felt I may have had.
My wife and I decided it was time to retain an attorney.
My wife’s UAW Legal Services recommended an attorney by the name of Jeffery S. Cook. We called Jeff to discuss my accident. I wasn’t feeling well enough to ride in the car so Jeff actually came to our house to discuss my situation. We were impressed with Jeff instantly, he felt we had a case but with big corporations nothing was guaranteed. We instantly believed in him and retained his services.
Jeff did a stellar job; his knowledge, attention to detail, dependability and caring nature keep us aware of any and all progress. He was honest with us when it came to reality checks which we appreciated. He even honestly kept us aware of times when there was lack of progress.
I did have another surgery which involved Cervical Fusion which proved all of my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon’s diagnosis.
After several months Jeff was able to work out a settlement that was agreeable to me and the Corporate Lawyers that represented the store. We had settlement and we would retain Jeff again if we need another attorney. As a matter of fact we did use him again at a later date.
