We only charge you a fee if we have successfully settled and\/or tried your claim to a jury verdict. You do not pay us until the case is over. Our fee is one-third of the NET total after the costs that we provided up front are deducted from the settlement and\/or jury verdict amount.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How long will it take to resolve my case?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Every case is a little bit different. The length of your case will significantly depend on its circumstances, complexity, and nature. We do our best to thoroughly and completely investigate your case and pursue them as quickly as possible. Approximately ninety-five percent of all claims are successfully settled without a jury trial. The typical time frame from the beginning of your claim to the end would be approximately one to two years.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How can I be sure your firm is the best one to represent me?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Our reputation and success speaks for itself. This firm has spent the past thirty five years representing thousands of clients and building a reputation client after client, case after case in aggressively and zealously pursuing our clients claims. These cases have required good communication as well as the financial support of a firm capable of going toe-to-toe with insurance companies and large corporations. Our reputation of successfully trying cases to a jury verdict also enhances our credibility when it comes to settlement negotiations with insurance companies and corporations.<\/p>\n<p>We give you the individual attention that your case deserves and always seek to place your case in the best possible settlement position before giving you, the client, the option of settling or taking your case to a trial by jury.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How soon after an injury should I contact a lawyer?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>As soon as possible. You may be contacted by an adjuster or an insurance company and you should not make any statements to them before you have contacted and consulted an attorney. You need to know that whatever you say to an adjuster and\/or insurance company may be used by them against you in your claim. Our attorneys will help you understand all of the applicable laws and procedures regarding your claim.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How do I know if I have a good personal injury claim?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The answer may be more complicated than you think. However, since your consultation with our firm is free, it makes sense to call us at <a href=\"tel:\/\/586-779-7814\">586-779-7814<\/a> for a free consultation and let us decide whether or not you have a good personal injury claim.

It has been our experience that a well-prepared case by our lawyers, combined with our firm&#8217;s longstanding reputation, decreases the number of cases that the insurance companies and corporations are willing to risk going to trial. Ultimately, the decision to accept the last offer and\/or proceed to trial belongs to the client, you.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Will my case prevent the same thing from happening to someone else?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>For many clients, particularly in medical malpractice cases, this is a major concern. Changing conduct for the protection of others is one of the primary purposes of the Civil Justice System. We take this very seriously and Michigan residents are safer for our efforts.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frequently Asked Questions Home FAQS Phone: 586-779-7814Toll Free: 1-866-232-5775Fax: 586-779-4912 We&#8217;re Hear to Help: Your Top QuestionsA call to arrange a meeting with us.
