Lenny encouraged me and let me know he wouldn't leave my side

I was getting ready to start another job when I had a car accident. I had a brain injury, and injured my foot, ankle, neck and back. I thought, "Now what?" I had one attorney and I fired him because he wasn't advocating for me. Then I called Michigan Auto Law. I found them online and Mr. Gursten e-m...ailed me personally after hours. They were phenomenal. When I called, I was reassured that everything was going to be okay. At the time, I was trying to manage my care by myself. But because of the severity of my injuries, I wasn't moving forward. My attorney Lenny Koltonow took all of stress away so I could focus on my healing while he and his team handled my lawsuit. They spelled everything out for me and told me about my No Fault benefits. I didn't have to worry about my medical bills, about not working because of my injuries and how I was going to recover and survive. They took my sleepless nights away. Lenny put me at ease. He talked to me a person, like a family member. He encouraged me and let me know he wouldn't leave my side - and he didn't. Even if he's out of town, he calls and emails me. I never felt abandoned, I always felt in control. I always felt that Michigan Auto Law was working hard for me. I wish there were other places that attorneys were taking care of business like Michigan Auto Law does. I've already referred Lenny to several people.

Thank god for lawyers like Lenny!

Lenny Koltonow is a caring attorney. He fought for me after I was in a car accident. He went out of his way and still goes out of his way to help me. I know whenever I need anything legal matter or else, I don't hesitate to call him. He's very personable. I sure was happy with my settlement. Thank go...d for lawyers like Lenny!

I'm so happy Lenny was my lawyer

I had a wonderful experience with Michigan Auto Law. Lenny Koltonow is very personable, very informative and he treated me with respect and compassion. I was in a car accident and needed help getting my PIP benefits after I was injured. Having the right attorney to handle your case makes all the dif...ference in the world. I'm so happy Lenny was my lawyer.

Car accident lawyer | Jan 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have been fortunate enough to have been mentored by Lenny, who has widely been considered one of the 10 best trial lawyers in Michigan for the last 30 years. I’ve worked with Lenny and tried cases with him. He is a true fighter for his clients rights. Yes, he has secured millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements and yes, he is well known and respected in and out of the courtroom, but see and read what his own clients say about him…they truly adore him because he cares, he returns every phone call, and he gets very involved in every aspect of their case to make sure things go right. He is what trial lawyers should be."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
