Help on the way..

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 reso...lve. 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!

Highly recommended to deal with insurance companies

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 r...egarding 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.

Homeowner's insurance claim

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 insur...ance 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!

Insurance claim for contents lost in house fire

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.
