"Our goal is to take truly talented, remarkable law students — the ones who are top of their classes and have exceptional legal skills, like Stempky — and help them develop into the right kind of personal injury lawyers."

For a small law firm, Michigan Auto Law has one of the best and most dynamic law student employment opportunities around, he added. The firm has tripled in size, growing from six to 19 lawyers with the addition of Stempky, over the past 15 years. This was a period most Michigan personal injury lawyers would say has been the state’s most difficult, due to some of the nation’s harshest tort reform laws, enacted in 1995.
