"Chad Engelhardt embodies what all injury attorneys strive for--honesty, integrity, and an amazing reputation amongst his peers. Further, I have personally witnessed Chad silence the insurance company's lawyer before the judge on many an occasion with his knowledge of the law and ability to advocate for his clients interest to the judge so the judge rules in his favor.

He will protect your family and your rights."
"When you need a personal injury or medical malpractice attorney, you need somebody who fights and believes in your case. Chad is that lawyer. Chad's road to becoming one of the top personal injury lawyers in Michigan was not easy. Unlike most, Chad had to work from the ground up, risking his life every day working as a corrections officer to put food on the table for his family, while at the same time putting himself through law school and repeatedly receiving the top marks year after year. That is why Chad understands your situation, he has lived it. That is also why the insurance company cringes when they see his name on your case. They know exactly what I know, that Chad is an honest, extremely intelligent, and aggressive litigator who knows what it's like to be up against incredible odds, and yet win every time. So when you or your family member is making that difficult decision of what lawyer to represent you, consider Chad, the Michigan Personal Injury attorney."
"Chad is a dedicated, hard working lawyer. He takes the practice of law seriously and the vigorous representation of his clients even more serious. He practices in the areas of medical malpractice, personal injury and automobile negligence. Anyone who needs fierce, effective and swift representation in one of these practice areas needs Chad on their side. I endorse this lawyer's work."
