Details

Brandon Hewitt is an attorney and the Chief Operating Officer at Michigan Auto Law in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His top priority is making the legal process as simple and straightforward as possible for injury victims. With a determination to compassionately serve his clients and treat them as he would his own family, he focuses on personal injury law, working with people injured in car, truck and motorcycle accidents, among others.

Brandon began his career with Michigan Auto Law as a law clerk in 2005 and he has extensive experience working at every level within the firm.

Brandon is an accomplished trial attorney. He fights tirelessly to secure the compensation his clients deserve and to hold the at-fault party accountable. Brandon holds the record for the largest pain and suffering jury verdict in Ottawa County history. The jury awarded his client $520,000, which is 10 times more than what the defendant offered prior to the trial. Brandon’s recent victories include a $5.25 million truck accident settlement and a $1 million settlement just before trial on a $0 offer - after the case had been rejected by 4 other law firms.

Brandon plays an important role in the legal community through organizations such as the State Bar of Michigan, The State Bar of California, the American Association for Justice and the Center for Progressive Leadership. He is part of the executive board of the Michigan Association for Justice and co-chairs the organization’s Autonomous Vehicles Committee.

Mr. Hewitt has been honored by prominent legal organizations for showcasing nothing short of exemplary work and professionalism in the legal field. He has been recognized by The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 Under 40 since 2015 and added to the organization’s Top 100 list in 2019. An Avvo “Superb” rated attorney, he is recognized as a Top Lawyer in West Michigan by Grand Rapids Magazine and a Notable West Michigan Lawyer by Crain’s Grand Rapids Business Journal for his work in personal injury and insurance law. Brandon has been recognized as a Michigan Super Lawyers and he has been named among The Best Lawyers in America

Brandon is a husband, father, son, and brother, and he extends the same care and compassion he gives his own family to each of Michigan Auto Law’s clients.

Recognized Excellence

The recognition has followed the results. Michigan Auto Law has been named to U.S. News' "Best Law Firms," listed in Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers, ranked among the National Top 100 Trial Lawyers, rated AV Preeminent, the highest peer rating for professional excellence, and 10.0 "Superb" by Avvo, named Personal Injury Law Firm of the Year in Michigan, and recognized by VerdictSearch for a $34.5 million truck accident settlement in Michigan.

People Over Everything

We put clients before accolades, compassion before recognition. Sure, we have been named among the best lawyers in America, but what matters more is being called honest by a client in need. At Michigan Auto Law, we show up for people, through every challenge, and long after the case is closed. Because it has never been about the awards.

It has always been about you.

Do not accept the insurance company's first number. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an auto or truck crash, call Michigan Auto Law for a free consultation. You pay nothing unless we win.
