About Matz Injury Law

Steven Matz and his team have been practicing law in Michigan for decades. As a premier law office in Michigan, the Matz team has logged hundreds of thousands of miles, traveling to virtually every county in Michigan’s lower and upper peninsulas, meeting with clients, and doing the work necessary to earn significant settlements on their client’s behalf.

Matz Injury Law is a local, trusted law firm available to help our clients recover compensation from personal injuries they’ve suffered. Our fee is 22%, not 33% of any recovery or settlement.

What Does 22not33 Mean, Exactly?

We can charge 22% while virtually all other injury attorneys charge 331/3% because we are very, very, good at obtaining results for our clients.

We do not spend millions of dollars on television ads; instead, we offer a lower fee to all our clients. We do not have dozens of lower paid associates handling our work. All our clients are represented by Steven and Jared Matz. Steven Matz started the firm in 1977 and since then has dedicated his life to representing injury victims. Jared joined the firm in 2016 but grew up listening to stories, discussing theories, and generally learning at the dinner table about how to effectively and compassionately represent injury victims. Jared Matz was literally born to represent individuals involved in motor vehicle crashes.

All of our cases are handled on a contingency fee and all our cases are handled at 22%. Whether the case settles or goes through trial, the fee does not change. While our competitors make excuses as to why they charge so much, we are obtaining results for our clients at a lower fee.

At a typical television advertising law firm, your first call will be handled by a receptionist, who may refer you to an intake person, who will discuss your claim with an intake manager, who then discusses your claim with an associate, who may then report to a partner. You may never speak with the person whose name is at the top of the letterhead. At Matz Injury Law you will always speak with either Steven Matz or Jared Matz.

    I’m still working with this attorney (Jared), so he isn’t done helping me yet, but I wanted to leave a review because of what he has already done for me. I originally had another law firm representing me, and while I don’t want to say anything negative about them, they just weren’t able to get my wage loss claim resolved. This was a claim against my own insurance company, and the insurance company was refusing to pay me what I was owed. After I changed attorneys and he got involved, things changed drastically. The way the insurance company and the adjuster dealt with me changed, and ultimately I was able to get my wage loss claim resolved and get paid. That result alone gave me a completely different level of confidence in him. What I really appreciate is that he actually knows what he’s doing. He’s extremely knowledgeable, but he also explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. He doesn’t make you feel like you’re supposed to already know all the legal stuff. He takes the time to explain what’s happening and why. He’s also very accessible. Obviously, you have to schedule time to actually talk, but I can text him when I have a question and he responds. That means a lot when you’re dealing with something as stressful as an insurance claim. I also think he’s a very strategic thinker. He doesn’t just look at one thing in isolation. He seems to understand how all the different pieces fit together and how the insurance company is likely to approach things. You can tell he’s thinking about the bigger picture. He’s still representing me with the remaining pain and suffering portion of my matter, so he isn’t done helping me yet. But honestly, the fact that he was able to accomplish what the previous firm couldn’t gives me a lot of confidence going forward. I’m very glad I made the decision to change attorneys. Based on what I’ve experienced so far, I would absolutely recommend him.

    Steven called me at 830 pm to help me out of a jam, he really takes care of his people. At Matz injury law you are not just another number like the guys on TV. This man is not your typical lawyer, he cares about people and listens to what you have to say.

    Absolutely exceptional at his job. Steve is as straightforward, as matter of fact, but understanding as can be. His team was also very helpful, such as Kristina/Diane/down to his secretary, at keeping in contact with their clients. Since dealing with my case for a few years, I consider them all friends/family! If one is looking for a Great attorney, I'd recommend Matz Injury Law 110%!!

    I highly recommend Matz Law. Despite multiple attorneys undervaluing my case, Steve secured a significantly higher result. Moreover, by charging a 22% fee instead of the typical 33%, I retained a substantial portion of my recovery. Steve, was knowledgeable, transparent, and always available to answer any questions and to explain the process. I appreciated his persistence in handling this complex and frustrating process. Though Steve was always professional, he treated me with the genuineness of a friend. I confidently recommend Steve Matz to anyone seeking strong representation.

    I cannot recommend Steve and his team highly enough. From the very first consultation, the team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt confident and supported throughout my case. Their attention to detail and dedication truly made a difference. They fought hard on my behalf and achieved a result that exceeded my expectations. Communication was always clear and timely, and I never felt like “just another client.” If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares and delivers outstanding results, this is the one to call. Thank you for everything!

    My parents were involved in a fatal car accident, where we needed guidance dealing with the insurance company. A month after the accident the insurance agency had stopped addressing our calls and emails. Retaining Steve Matz and his team was the absolute best decision we made for my mom. He was professional from start to finish and we had a settlement quickly. Steve answered all of our calls and emails, and assured us that he would take care of our family during this time. If you are questioning whether seeking guidance is needed, don't hesitate and reach out. Steve was very open about what he could do for our case, and how retaining his services could impact our timeline. We felt as though we were talking to a friend, not an attorney, whom checked on us often. Thank you for all you have done for our family, especially my mom during this time. Your service and compassion deserves more than 5 stars!
