Workers Compensation
We represent Michigan workers injured on the job, handling claims for medical treatment, wage loss benefits, and vocational rehabilitation. Our firm has one of the state's largest workers' compensation dockets, with attorneys who have shaped Michigan's workers' compensation laws through landmark cases. We navigate complex claims involving repetitive injuries, occupational diseases, and pre-existing conditions aggravated by work.
Social Security Disability
Our attorneys assist clients with Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applications and appeals. We help clients meet strict eligibility requirements and navigate the complex process of proving disability claims. With over 100 years of combined experience, we provide personalized representation for initial applications, appeals, and hearings before administrative law judges.
Personal Injury
We handle personal injury cases arising from motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, product defects, and nursing home negligence. Our firm proves negligence by establishing duty of care breaches and quantifying damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We pursue compensation for catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and disfigurement.
Family Law
Our family law practice addresses divorce proceedings, child custody disputes, spousal support, and property division. We guide clients through Michigan's no-fault divorce process while considering fault in property distribution. We handle complex custody matters involving parenting time plans, domicile changes, and best interests of the child determinations across multiple Michigan counties.
Medical Malpractice
We represent clients harmed by medical professionals' failure to meet standard care requirements. Our attorneys prove breaches in professional standards through expert testimony and medical evidence. We handle cases involving misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and birth injuries, pursuing compensation for additional medical costs and long-term care needs while navigating Michigan's damage caps.
