  • How much does it cost to hire an attorney?

    We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.

  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Michigan?

    Most cases have a three-year statute of limitations, but certain claims—such as those involving government entities—have much shorter deadlines. Contact us to discuss your case.

  • How do I know if I have a case?

    If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a claim. We offer a free case review to evaluate your options.
