With 18 lawyers and frequent cases in Washtenaw, Jackson and Lenawee Counties,
Michigan Auto Law, the state's largest law firm specializing in auto accidents, is no stranger to Ann Arbor. After the firm subleased a small space from a recently dissolved business, however, owner Steve Gursten decided it was time to make their local presence more permanent.
"With the way we've been growing," says Gursten, "We said, let's take a ten-year lease, let's grow and see where it takes us. We're really excited to be in Ann Arbor."
A University of Michigan graduate, Gursten says he was delighted to bring his family's third-generation business to the area. The Farmington Hills-based law firm began specializing in auto accidents about 25 years ago.
The local Michigan Auto Law office is located in downtown Ann Arbor on Main St. above
The Gown Shop. Gursten was attracted to the building for its beauty and accessibility, as well as its proximity to the courthouse. The office is currently staffed by two existing Michigan Auto Law attorneys.
"With the tremendous growth of cases we've had in Ann Arbor, I'd love to see it grow," Gursten says. "I'd like it to grow to a full support office with several lawyers."
Michigan Auto Law opened its new local office in early August. The firm also has locations in Farmington Hills, Detroit, Sterling Heights and Grand Rapids.
