Car Accident 50%

When you are involved in a bad car collision in Michigan, you enter a whole new world of "No Fault" law. Without excellent guidance and powerful advocacy, you will not get every benefit and recovery you deserve.

41 years

50%
Personal Injury 50%

Personal Injury almost exclusively related to Michigan auto collision/No-Fault claims. This includes compelling the at fault driver's insurance company to pay for yours and your family's suffering/loss of quality of life and compelling your own insurance company to pay the many benefits to which you are automatically entitled as a result of being in the crash. These include payment of 100% of your medical bills, your lost wages, medical home care and vocational retraining to start a new career.

Posted by Rev. Ellen | July 24, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Trucking Accident

A friend that can be closer then a brother yet so skilled as a lawyer!

Bill Decker assisted my husband and I after he was rear ended by a semi truck. My husband was eventually diagnosed with a closed head injury and serious depression. In the beginning of the process most people did not notice my husband's inability to function. He was able to communicate well and wh...en he was not too tired his body was able to do most simple tasks. However, I knew he was in serious trouble and began to seek help. Bill was one of the first steps to gaining the help my husband needed. I asked him why he took our case because my husband must have seemed ok to Bill during our first interview. Bill told me he had learned to "trust the wife!" What great respect we gained for Bill and his vigilant, often tender, hard working, sometimes confrontive, always prepared - work and ways. Putting into words what he and his office did for us is next to impossible, however, by reading this you will know that this man gives more than is humanly possible:)

Professionalism

Attorney Decker is a remarkable person. We hired him to handle our housing situation in relation to my husbands catastrophic car accident. Mr. Decker has always treated us with the utmost respect and kindness. He has been very honest and upfront with where we stand. I don't wish our situation on any ...family but having Attorney Decker beside us has given us incredible peace of mind. I absolutely would recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney experienced with auto cases.

Automobile No-Fault

My father was involved in a one car automobile accident which has involved long term attendant care. After my father's release from a rehab facility the insurance company refused to pay for ongoing bills. We hired Mr. Decker to help fight for my dad. We are still involved in the process. Mr. Decker h...as done a very good job of communicating and coaching us through the process. We have never felt disconnected from him, nor unimportant to him. For our family he is the right choice to help us navigate our way forward in the care of our father. The process for going forward with the legal battle may be standard process in the industry but how Mr. Decker pursues it with knowledge, compassion and persistence is encouraging to us as a family.

William W. Decker Jr.

Mr. Decker, in my opinion did one of the best jobs for me and fought the insurance company to win my case. I was in a single car accident, he did a flawless job advising me of my rights during a deposition. The outcome eventually ended positive for me. During the 10 years I've known Mr. Decker ( B...ill ) I have called him and asked for advice on a couple subjects, which again because of his legal knowledge the outcome was correct. Just as I expected it would be. Because Bill has done such a great job for me I have referred others who were in the same predicament to Mr. Decker. I have trusted Bill in any legal affairs that I've been involved in. It's been my pleasure to have Bill as my legal counsel and as a friend. Many thanks.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
