Great Lakes Auto Law

About the Firm

Michigan's advocate for accident victims.

Great Lakes Auto Law was founded on a single conviction: injured people deserve a fighter in their corner. For over 10 years, attorney Sean J. O'Bryan has taken on Michigan's largest insurance companies — and won.

Our Story

Built to fight for people, not insurance companies.

Great Lakes Auto Law was founded by Sean J. O'Bryan with one purpose: to give Michigan accident victims the same firepower the insurance companies have. Sean spent years watching insurers deny legitimate claims, cut off benefits, and pressure injured people into settlements worth a fraction of what they deserved. He built this firm to change that equation.

Michigan's No-Fault system is among the most complex auto insurance frameworks in the country. The 2019 reform created new coverage tiers, new benefit limits, and new ways for insurers to deny claims. Understanding those rules — and knowing how to fight back when they're misapplied — is what we do every single day.

We represent car accident victims, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and passengers injured in rideshare vehicles. We handle No-Fault benefit disputes, third-party tort claims, and catastrophic injury cases. And we do it all on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win.

Insurance companies have unlimited resources to deny your claim. We level the playing field — and we don't stop until you receive every dollar you're owed.

Over 10 years, we've recovered millions for accident victims. We've represented clients in all various Michigan counties. Our track record isn't just about money. It's about people who got their medical bills paid, their wages replaced, and their lives rebuilt after someone else's negligence turned everything upside down.

How We Work

Principles we don't compromise on.

These aren't aspirational statements. They're the standards we hold ourselves to on every case, for every client — regardless of case size or complexity.

Relentless Advocacy

We don't settle for less than you deserve. Every case gets the full weight of our experience and resources — no matter how hard the insurance company pushes back.

Honest Counsel

We tell you the truth about your case from day one — the strengths, the challenges, and the realistic range of outcomes. No false promises, no inflated expectations.

Direct Access

You work with your attorney, not a rotating cast of paralegals. Sean O'Bryan is personally involved in every case from intake through resolution.

Community Commitment

We live and work in Michigan. Our clients are our neighbors. That's not a marketing line — it shapes every decision we make about how we practice law.

Community

Rooted in Michigan. Fighting for Michigan.
