In addition to representing clients in the Lockerbie Pan Am crash, the Korean Airlines 007 shoot down and Northwest Airlines Flight 255 litigation, and the Com-Air crash case; we served as liaison counsel between numerous attorneys and the court. We have represented hundreds of injured clients in the action against A. H.

We have a lead role in this most recent mass tort litigation and are one of a select group of firms on the National Steering Committee for this multi-district litigation. In addition, we have served as class counsel in national class action suits including national litigation against Abbott Laboratories, Bausch & Lomb, Inc., Sulzer Orthopedics, and Warner Lambert Drug Company.
Samuel Charfoos founded the firm as the first of Michigan's workers compensation specialists in 1929. In 1946, he became one of the founders of the National Association of Compensation Claimant Attorney (NACCA), which was the predecessor organization to the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA), now known as the American Association for Justice (AAJ). As Sam was founding the national organization, he also co-founded the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association, now known as the Michigan Association for Justice.
Not only is our firm recognized for its outstanding litigation record, but also one of our attorneys, David W. Christensen, is listed in Best Lawyers in America.
