As riders ourselves, we understand how the law unjustly treats motorcycle enthusiasts differently from automobile drivers.

Our History
Michigan Biker Law was founded in 1987, by renowned Birmingham attorney Jerry Aaron. Being a rider himself, Jerry would often attend motorcycle events and swap meets. It was at these events that Jerry would meet and interact with fellow bikers, some of which he went on to represent in a legal capacity.
Through his meetings with other bikers, it became apparent to Jerry that there were a lot of misconceptions about motorcycle laws in Michigan. In a 1999 interview, Jerry recalled a conversation he had with another attorney, “The agent said your car insurance covers you if you are in an accident against an uninsured motorist, which is not true”, Aaron says, “I explained to him that he was wrong. Motorcycles and motor vehicles are different under Michigan law. These misconceptions and those about bikers in general is what prompted me to get into biker law.”
After representing several bikers over the next few years, Jerry decided to form the Michigan Bikers Association. Jerry attributes all his success to the wonderful biker community of Michigan, and their trust in fellow riders. “Suits and ties don’t interest these guys. They want to know ‘Do you ride?’”

Over time, Jerry became closely associated with Attorney Larry Maitland. With 14 years of personal injury law at a large law firm in Southeast Michigan, it was easy to see how the two quickly began a strong business relationship.
After Jerry’s passing in 2021, Larry proudly became the owner of Michigan Biker Law. Larry carries on Michigan Biker Law’s 30-plus-year history of specialized dedication to the biker community.
“I am proud to be part of the biker community, recreationally and professionally,” Larry says. “Even though the law unjustly treats motorcycle enthusiasts differently from automobile drivers, injured motorcyclists should not have to settle for inadequate legal representation.
That is why we are proud to be Bikers Helping Bikers.”
