Disability Claim
Seth was so wonderful with assisting me with my disability claim! He was extremely thorough and efficient through the whole process. In addition and very important to me--he kept in constant contact and always promptly returned my calls and answered questions. Highly recommended!

PUA Claim
The State of Michigan issued a Redetermination on my PUA claim and indicated I did not qualify for PUA benefits. The state also sent me a letter indicating that I owed all of the money they had previously paid me back. To qualify for benefits and then to be told that you don’t is very stressful and a huge burden. I protested my redetermination and was granted a hearing. Don’t try and take this on by yourself! Hire a professional that is well versed in employment law. I consulted with Seth and he said he thought I had a case. We went to trial and we prevailed. I couldn’t have been successful without him. He’s a great attorney that knows the law and his flat fee structure was reasonable and fair. I would highly recommend him to anyone having Unemployment or PUA related issues.

Outstanding Attorney
Over the years I have had to engage several different attorney's for various things. I have to say that by far I would rate Seth the best attorney I have ever worked with. He is extremely professional but most importantly he got the results we wanted and he responded in a timely fashion with consistent follow up prior to my case hearing. He also went the extra mile and reached out to me in another legal area that he covers besides what I had hired him for. He saw some "red flags" and was concerned for me and wanted me to be aware of some issues that may arise and gave me some expert advice. I would recommend this attorney to anyone and certainly use Seth again if I need to.

Prompt, thorough and efficient
I spent about 4 days trying to find an attorney to respond to my inquiries. Seth responded within the same day and gave me an overview of his thoughts my severance package. He provided his flat fee rate which was reasonable so that he could review my contract completely and address any questions I had from the contract. I figured this would be in his queue and be completed in a couple of weeks. To my surprise and pleasure, he completed this in less than two business days and reviewed the contract with me. He provided some good advice and provided guidance on additional questions to ask my employer. I am satisfied with the work he quickly and thoroughly provided to me. I never felt rushed with him. I recommend Seth for employment law contracts.

Great attorney and delivers for a fair fee.
I have used Seth several times in the past with excellent results. Most recently, he drafted a Cease and Desist Letter that ended email, social media and phone harassment that was directed at me and my family. His work was delivered on time and was extremely effective. Moreover, his fees were more than fair and it has always been a pleasure to work with him.

Trusted, Ethical and a Common Sense Advisor
We hired Seth to put together the contracts for our marketing agency. Seth had the knowledge and expertise to walk us through what we would need and asked the right questions about our industry so that we could figure out what we would need. The old saying "we don't know what we don't know" applied perfectly. We didn't know the right questions to ask so Seth took the lead to educate us on what we might need and how it would apply to our industry, our clients and our contracts. I highly recommend Seth as a knowledgeable, fair and honest adviser for any business owner. He was fair with pricing and generous with his time and quick with his work. I will continue to use Seth and recommend him.

Seth helped me settle a breach of contract dispute. He had thorough knowledge of business contracts, was skillful during negotiations, and he communicated clearly. I found Seth to be very efficient applying his trade while being down to earth and personable.

Very pleased with service and response!
I recently engaged Seth's services to help with some cease & desist matters relating to false claims from an ex-spouse. Seth was very quick to respond - and always communicated with the utmost professionalism. I am very happy with his services, and will not hesitate to hire him again in the future if needed.

Disability Case
Seth really went to work for me on my disability case. He had to have spent countless hours on preparation for my hearing as my medical documents alone were over 500 pages. The brief for the judge was outstanding, covered all of the critical dates, procedures, ongoing conditions and medications summed up for an easy read for the judge and it sure showed at the hearing. I have not received a decision on my case as of today but regardless of the outcome, Seth was the utmost professional in his communication, preparation prior to the hearing for myself and what to expect . So prepared, the judge simply went through the motions, asked me a few questions and said he was prepared to make a decision (which still takes time to process) but extremely confident there will be a positive outcome in my case. No lawyer feel here, almost like a friend, relaxing demeanor but took care of business better than expected and well dressed looking great to show respect to the court the day of the hearing. His preparedness and confidence going in made me feel that I was extremely well represented which brought such calm to me in a courtroom situation.

Excellent!
Seth Seidell has been a huge help to me as I started and moved my chiropractic office. He not only helped me obtain the legal documents I needed, but he explained to me what is important and why I need the documents. He's a great asset to any business owner!

Very knowledgable
Seth is a wonderful, well rounded lawyer. He has helped me with a number or business entity, general business law as well as trademark concerns. He is always very available and has a very high level of expertise. I have worked with lawyers from very large, "powerful" firms. Seth offers the same level of expertise and experience while still maintaining our "hometown" values.

Excellent down-to-earth lawyer!
Seth is an excellent lawyer. He helped me with all the set-up documents for two different businesses, gave me sound legal advice on a situation with a client, and helped me set up my trademark. He also did so, knowing my financial limitations, and did it in a way that would help both of us. He is friendly, down-to-earth, and works in a timely manner. I would gladly recommend Seth to anyone looking for legal advice.

Seth has been a consistent source of legal advice for several years. We have called on Seth to advise us when we were starting up another company, as well as when we were working through some very complicated contract negotiations. We will also be working with Seth to review and update our Employee Manual. He has always responded in a timely and professional manner.
