Christopher Trainor started this firm in a downtown Detroit office so small the door hit the client's chair when you opened it. His first clients came from Neighborhood Family Legal Services — people with no money, no connections, and no one else willing to take their case. That experience shaped everything.
More than 35 years later, the firm has 9 offices across Michigan, a dedicated team of legal professionals, and $300 million recovered for clients who were told their cases weren't worth pursuing. The three largest verdicts — $6.2 million, $5.8 million, and $5.5 million — were all police misconduct cases. Cases that required taking the government to federal court and winning.
We are not a settlement mill. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial, because the only way to generate real value for a client is to make the other side believe you will. That preparation takes time and resources — and it is exactly what separates meaningful recoveries from quick payouts that leave money on the table.
