Firm Overview

Michigan Employment Law Attorney

Sommers Schwartz is one of the largest litigation law firms in the state of Michigan. We have the personnel and resources to handle the most complex personal injury, employment rights, business and commercial cases from beginning to end. Most of our senior attorneys have been recognized with the highest peer review ratings and in the most respected legal registries. We are trial lawyers. We are counselors. We are the law firm that other lawyers refer clients and cases that they cannot handle. We represent plaintiffs. We are known for representing plaintiffs in serious injury and medical malpractice cases, and in complex employment rights, business and commercial litigation. We are also known for counseling and representing small and medium-size businesses, employers, and municipalities, providing big-firm expertise and service with the personal attention of a firm that serves the individual.

Among the strengths of Sommers Schwartz are the following achievements:

• Thirteen of our attorneys are listed in "Best Lawyers in America."
• 30 lawyers with more than twenty years of trial/litigation or transactional experience.
• The firm had more than 50 multimillion dollar victories in 2004-2007.
• Sommers Schwartz verdicts are rarely overturned on appeal.
• We pay millions in referral fees annually (an average of $9 million in 2004 and 2005), which is a testament to the frequency with which other law firms send clients our way.

Expert Attention That Gets Results

Whether you are referred to Sommers Schwartz by another lawyer or if you contact us on your own, you will receive immediate expert attention. If your case involves an injury or medical malpractice, you can expect to speak with a nurse who is educated and trained in the medical/legal process. If you have an employment issue, or a business concern, you can expect to a prompt review by a seasoned paralegal or a personal interview by the lawyer to whom you were referred. No head-phone outfitted intake clerks at Sommers Schwartz.

Additionally, if your situation is complex and crosses boundaries between different legal disciplines, we have the diverse legal expertise in-house. For example, a construction accident fatality may involve a workers' compensation claim, a third-party liability personal injury claim, a products liability case, and probate work. As another example, a small business owner with tax planning concerns may also have valuable intellectual property rights to enforce against infringing corporate bullies, or from misappropriation by former employees. Sommers Schwartz attorneys can handle and coordinate all of those legal claims and issues in-house.
