A serious injury changes everything at once, and the days after are critical. Our attorneys will come to you wherever it’s convenient to discuss your case. And when you become a client they will give you direct access to them via their cell phone.
Giroux Pappas is a boutique Michigan trial firm, and our Detroit personal injury attorneys represent people who were badly hurt by someone else’s negligence, along with the families left to carry it. We take fewer cases than the billboard firms so we can prepare each one completely. That means you work with the attorney handling your case, not a case manager. Our work covers the serious harm this region sees, from freeway collisions to medical malpractice, birth injury and wrongful death. With more than 30 years of combined trial experience, we build every case as if it will be tried. Read about our statewide Michigan personal injury practice, or talk with an attorney about what happened.

Client Stories
How a Detroit personal injury lawyer at Giroux Pappas builds your case
A client’s husband was taken to the hospital because of his chest pain. Our client informed hospital staff that he required close supervision due to his dementia and blindness. Nevertheless, he was left unattended and was able to leave the hospital without staff being aware. Tragically, he was found later by police officers after he died from hypothermia.

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee. There is no upfront cost, and there is no fee unless we recover for you. The fee is a percentage of the recovery, agreed in writing before we begin. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee.
Michigan generally allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, under MCL 600.5805. Auto cases also carry Michigan no-fault deadlines that can arrive much sooner, so it is best to speak with an attorney promptly rather than risk a missed deadline.
We handle serious auto and truck accidents, medical malpractice, birth injury and wrongful death, along with motorcycle, slip and fall, construction and sexual assault cases. Each has its own practice page with more detail.
It depends. Case value depends on the severity of the injury, whether the harm is lasting, your economic losses and the question of liability. We can talk through the range and the factors in your situation. Results vary, and no honest attorney can promise a figure.
Yes. Direct access to your attorney is the point of our boutique model. You work with an experienced lawyer handling your case from start to finish.
