Mike was extremely knowledgeable and persistent representing us in a civil matter. Highly recommend him.

Michael was efficient and great to work with. He really had our best interests in mind when we had a dispute with our former landlord who was taking complete advantage of us in a tenant/landlord dispute. Highly recommend his services.

I highly recommend Michael. My brother needed help regarding an eviction issue, as many people do during this pandemic crisis. However, my brother had a dire need and was unable to fix the issue due to his incarceration. Michael was straight up, professional, and went the extra mile to look for resolve. He also went to work immediately. No wasting any time here. Not only did my brother get the funding he needed to keep him in his apartment, but he was represented by an honest, empathetic, professional, who is human at heart. Michael, you are blessing to our family. If it weren't for your immediate assistance and kind attitude, my brother would be on the streets today. Thank you!

After a tragic fire loss, I hired a public adjuster to represent me (Michigan Fire Claims, also recommended). The insurance company showed every sign of putting up a serious fight for what was a large claim. Police also took an interest in the fire, and asked me to take a polygraph. I consulted MFC regarding the polygraph, they referred me to Michael. He handled every aspect of the claim after that. He gave solid advice, and investigated the available information very thoroughly. He made observations the insurance company and police overlooked. Rather than dealing with a criminal investigation, or a contested claim, the claim was settled (albeit slowly, as insurance companies apparently tend to with large claims). I don’t have much experience retaining attorneys, but I feel fine with what I paid for Michael’s services, and think of it as money well spent. He was easy to work with and seemed well-suited temperamentally to deal with the insurance company. If someone was in a similar situation to mine, I would recommend Michael Helveston’s services without hesitation.

Michael is very good at what he does and if there was a 10 star rating instead of a 5 star rating....I would give him 11 stars. I hired him to help with a business fire insurance loss claim that seemed to be going nowhere. He worked with our public adjuster and always kept the ball rolling when things seemed to be at a standstill. I recall several phone calls and emails where he was simply "checking in" to see if we made any progress with the claim with our public adjuster....how many attorneys do that?? Michael responded very promptly to any correspondence whether by email or phone. Rarely, did I call his office and not reach him as opposed to leaving messages. He has a lot of knowledge on the subject and even pointed out errors made in correspondence from our insurance company. Basically if you need an attorney to go to bat for you in the legal fields he specializes in, then you will not find a better attorney than Michael Helveston. I only wish I knew about him / hired him sooner....the 3+ year claim probably would have been resolved much quicker and without my need for a public aduster. If I ever need legal assistance again for whatever reason, Michael will be my first call.

We lost our home due to fire severaly years ago. We contacted several lawyers in our area and out of the area. The ONLY one that was honest, helpful, knowledgeable and put his client's needs in front of his own, was Michael Helveston of Traverse City, MI. It was a nightmare to deal with our insurance company, Auto-Owners Insurance of Traverse City. Once we hired Michael Helveston. While it wasn't any more pleasant to deal with our insurance company of nearly 20 years. He, at least, was able to wade through the issues and resolved our claim our nearly 3 year old claim. My husband and I were so grateful to Michael's hard work, compassion, ethics and knowledge. If anyone out there should have the misfortune of an insurance claim. We would have no problem with recommending Michael Helveston as an attorney. He really knows his stuff in the insurance industry and is an honest, hard-working man. We do not wish this experience on anyone. But, if you need a good attorney, Michael Helveston definitely gets our recommendation!

Mr Helveston was very professional and compassionate while dealing with my insurance issue. He made me feel that he understood my frustrations and agreed that things had not been dealt with appropriately. He guided me through this stressful ordeal and brought it to a satisfactory conclusion.
