Luann
Attorney Colleen Starr was absolutely amazing. I had a legal issue that I needed advice and representation for, and she handled it with the utmost professionalism. While the other party kept trying to bring drama into the case, Attorney Starr never gave into it. She stated facts and the issue at hand with every correspondence. The ladies at the front desk are so pleasant, courteous, and always professional. Thank you for always being understanding each time I came in!
Beth
Highly recommend. Mr. Sackin has helped us with a few things over the last 3 or 4 years. Wills, powers of attorney and a court case. He has been patient and kind while sorting through our needs. He has dealt with any changes or issues that have come up quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend him.
Dan Hansen
Very friendly and professional staff, and they are extremely knowledgeable! Marc was my attorney and he was great to work with. All documents are available on their new online system which helps keep things very organized. It was great to have an attorney who actually fought for me in court and mediation, was very impressed and thankful! Highly recommend them for legal services and representation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Personal Injury Lawyer?
A personal injury lawyer is a legal professional specializing in tort law. They focus on cases where an individual has been injured due to someone else’s negligence or intentional acts. These attorneys are adept at securing compensation for their clients, covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Their role extends beyond mere legal representation; they advocate for their client’s rights, offer guidance through complex legal processes, and provide emotional support during challenging times.
How do you charge for your services?
Our Michigan injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Call today for a free initial consultation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Michigan?
In Michigan, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally three years from the date of the accident. This means you must file a lawsuit within three years of the date on which the injury occurred to seek damages. If you fail to file within this period, you are typically barred from pursuing a lawsuit to recover for your injuries. However, there are some exceptions to this rule that might alter the deadline. Consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an injury to ensure that your rights are fully protected and you comply with all relevant deadlines.
What do I do if I want to file a claim and the other party’s insurance contacts me?
If you want to file a claim and the other party's insurance contacts you, it's important to handle the situation carefully to protect your interests. It is best to direct them to your injury lawyer. Never admit liability or fault, decline to give a recorded statement and DO NOT agree to a settlement prematurely.
