Larry R. Maitland II

Owner/Attorney

In the course of his career spanning over two decades, Larry has specialized in personal injury law within various firms.  Having commenced his career in Northern Michigan, he subsequently relocated to the metropolitan Detroit area eighteen years ago, where he continued to refine his expertise at a prominent personal injury firm.  His professional journey led to an affiliation with Michigan Biker Law and its founder, Jerald Aaron.  In 2021, he acquired ownership of Michigan Biker Law.  Larry serves clients from all corners of Michigan, encompassing both the Lower and Upper Peninsulas.  Licensed to practice in all Michigan state and federal courts, Ohio state and federal courts, as well as the Supreme Court of the United States, he also holds membership in the state’s preeminent trial lawyer organization, the Michigan Association of Justice.  Larry is committed to upholding Michigan Biker Law's enduring legacy of fervently advocating for clients through specialized legal representation, and is deeply dedicated to supporting the biker community. 

When he's not standing up for his fellow bikers, you'll find Larry enjoying quality time with his wife and sons. Whether he's out hunting, fishing, traveling, coaching his youngest son's soccer team, or cruising down the open road, Larry is a passionate outdoorsman.  Acquiring a law firm dedicated to specializing in motorcycle law was a natural choice for Larry. He's been riding bikes since he was a young child, alongside his father, and he's been endorsed for over 20 years.

Shana Maitland

Office Manager

After enjoying a lengthy and successful career in real estate, during which she established and managed her own brokerage, Shana was called to switch gears and embark on a new adventure with the MBL team.

Shana, born and raised in Northern Michigan, is an enthusiastic outdoorswoman who spent her early years sailing the Great Lakes, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, and four-wheeling.  It's no surprise that when she began riding, it felt like second nature.  Shana is a devoted mom of two boys, a loving wife to an incredible travel partner, and an all-around adventurer.  During her free time, you'll find her exploring new places, enjoying the lake, volunteering, or riding anywhere she can just to feel the wind on her face.

With deep family ties to the military, Shana has a strong connection to the military community.  Several of her family members, spanning generations, have served our country. With a great-uncle still missing in action, others lost in battle, and several veterans, Shana knows firsthand the impact of military service on soldiers and their families. Shana is an active member of the Amvets Ladies Auxiliary, volunteers her time for various causes, and works hard to ensure that our veterans are honored and supported.

Karter Nettles

Brand Ambassador

Karter Nettles likes to say she accidentally became a biker, and somehow, there was no turning back. On a spontaneous whim, she decided to take a motorcycle safety class with her brother, Anthony. One questionable decision later, Karter bought herself a Harley-Davidson Sportster. Of course, simply owning a Harley wasn’t enough. She had to make it hers. So she customized it with her own style! And yes, that includes a whole lot of PINK. Because if you’re going to ride, you might as well be noticed!

Karter wears a lot of hats. She graduated with her degree in Sign Language Education and now works as a substitute teacher. Her newest adventure has been joining Michigan Biker Law as a brand ambassador. She absolutely loves the job, especially getting out into the motorcycle community, connecting with riders, and making new friends along the way. For Karter, being a brand ambassador isn’t just about representing a business, it’s about being part of a community she genuinely enjoys.

Whether she’s riding, teaching, learning something new, meeting fellow bikers, or finding herself involved in yet another adventure, Karter is always ready for what’s next. After all, some of the best stories start with, “So… I randomly decided to take a motorcycle class.”

Kate N.

Social Ambassador

Kate is a motorcycle mama and grandma who loves representing Michigan Biker Law at events and helping share the MBL community through social media. She started this job thinking she would be learning about the biker community, but quickly discovered it was really about becoming part of a biker family. At every event, she gets to reconnect with friends she has made along the way, cultivate new friendships, support amazing causes in local communities, and hear the stories of fellow riders. To Kate, it doesn’t feel like work, it feels like home.

When she’s not at an event or riding around on her Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro, you can find Kate spending time with her husband, sons, and grandsons. She loves riding with the love of her life, Don, and they are always up for an adventure, including conquering the Tail of the Dragon together! She is also an animal lover and the proud owner of three very chonky rescue cats, Eggroll, Fajita, and Tater Tot.



Kate’s great passions in life are to keep laughing, growing, staying curious, and spreading a little sparkle wherever she goes. She is grateful for the motorcycle community that has welcomed her into its events and lives and is proud to support Michigan Biker Law’s mission of advocating for injured motorcyclists.

Don D.

Brand Ambassador

Don greets life with a big smile and no fears.  He is always up for an adventure and ready to take on the next challenge - he especially enjoys riding next to his wife Kate on his Triumph 1200 Explorer and seeing just how low he can get in those corners.  He is a proud father to his son and daughter and welcomed being the father and grandfather to Kate's sons and grandsons!  Don is currently a Facility Director but in the past he has been a Safety and Security Manager and even a Private Detective!  Don's confidence and warmth is infectious and you can't help but smile and shake your head a little when you're around him; he definitely keeps us laughing.

Betsy R.

Brand Ambassador

Betsy started riding motorcycles when she was 34. She had been a passenger for 15 years prior to that. However, she wanted the freedom to ride whenever she wanted, so she went for her endorsement in her mid-30s. She truly enjoys riding and the freedom it provides to have an adventure all her own.

Working with MBL has given Betsy new insight into the motorcycle community, and she is enjoying the opportunity to support fellow riders by providing vital information for their future needs, whether it’s communication about insurance advice or what to do in the event of an accident.

Betsy truly loves seeing herself as an asset to every motorcyclist she meets when she reminds them to call MBL for any reason during their personal adventure of riding!



In her free time,  Betsy enjoys lifting weights,  taking long scenic walks,  and studying for a side career in finance.  Betsy is the proud mother of 2 teenage boys and supports them passionately in all their endeavors.

Cheri A.

Brand Ambassador

Cheri “HotRodCheri” Adamek lives and breathes motorcycles. As a RiderCoach, Riding Academy Manager, and competitive precision rider, she has spent years helping riders build confidence, improve their skills, and get more out of life on two wheels.

What Cheri loves most is sharing the dream — whether that means helping a brand-new rider take their first ride, sharing information that can help keep bikers safer, or connecting someone with resources they may not have known were available.

That’s what made becoming a Michigan Biker Law Brand Ambassador such a natural fit. Larry and the team don’t just work with bikers — they are bikers, and Larry dedicates his practice exclusively to motorcycle cases. Cheri loves being able to share that resource with the riding community and represent a team that truly understands the people they serve.



When she isn’t coaching, competing, or practicing in a parking lot, you can pretty much guarantee HotRodCheri is still doing something motorcycle-related even if it is with one of the Grands. For her, it’s more than riding — it’s the people, the community, and sharing the dream.

Chona O.

Brand Ambassador

Chona is a proud parent of five, a nonprofit professional, and a passionate motorcycle enthusiast who has been riding for five years. As President of the Chrome Angelz Motorcycle Club, Crimson Haloz chapter, she enjoys bringing people together through the riding community, supporting meaningful causes, and helping make a difference in the lives of others. Chona believes in the camaraderie, freedom, and sense of family that come with riding, and she’s excited to represent Michigan Biker Law as an Event Ambassador while connecting with fellow riders and supporting the motorcycle community.

Sara W.

Brand Ambassador

Sara Wyld has had a passion for motorcycles since she was in diapers, riding on the backs of family members’ bikes. She then started riding dirt bikes and later enduro while living in the Upper Peninsula. Eventually, she switched to road bikes and is now on her third one, a Street Glide Special.

Sara loves riding all over Michigan and out of state. There’s nothing like riding through the mountains or along a coastline, whether it’s one of the Great Lakes or the ocean.



If Sara isn’t on her bike, she can usually be found hiking a trail or paddling on a lake. Being outside is her peace. The motorcycle lifestyle has brought many great friendships into her life, and some have become more like family through their shared passions.
