Personal Injury Law
We represent individuals and families across Michigan who have been seriously harmed by negligence, medical error, or misconduct, with the preparation and principled counsel each case demands.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Auto, trucking and motorcycle collisions are some of the most common causes of serious injury in Michigan. We provide thorough preparation and direct communication for every case.
Medical Malpractice
We represent individuals and families harmed by medical malpractice including surgical errors, misdiagnosis and medical negligence with the precision and preparation these complex cases demand.
Birth Injury
When a newborn or mother is harmed during delivery due to medical negligence, the impact is devastating. We represent families navigating these deeply personal and complex matters.
Wrongful Death
Families facing the profound loss caused by a death in the family naturally have questions. Our wrongful death attorneys can help get to the answers a family deserves.
Sexual Assault
These matters require a level of sensitivity and discretion that not every firm is built to provide. We guide survivors through the legal process with steady, confidential counsel.
Slip and Fall
Business and property owners have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for customers and visitors. Slip and fall and premises liability cases often arise when dangerous conditions are ignored or not properly addressed.

Bob Giroux

Managing Partner / Trial Attorney

Bob Giroux is the founding partner of Giroux Pappas and a personal injury attorney in Michigan with more than 30 years of litigation experience. His career has been defined by meticulous preparation, courtroom credibility, and a deep commitment to representing individuals and families with the attention and respect they deserve.

Meet Bob Giroux

Bob’s career spans both sides of the courtroom. He began on the plaintiff side before spending seven years as a defense attorney, where he earned the title of Senior Litigation Attorney. He then spent 14 years representing plaintiffs as Managing Partner at one of Michigan’s most recognized personal injury firms.

This dual perspective gives him a clear understanding of how opposing counsel thinks, prepares, and strategizes.

He founded Giroux Pappas to practice law differently. The firm focuses on fewer cases with deeper involvement, ensuring clients have direct access to attorneys at all times. Bob believes that serious cases deserve serious attention, not a place in a queue.

Bob lives in Novi, Michigan with his wife whom he married while in law school and their three children.

Bob started Giroux Pappas Trial Attorneys PC to help people, to provide them with the focus and attention they deserve and to obtain a justified result for them. Giroux Pappas Trial Attorneys will help to make sure your legal matters are not one of them. Bob and the whole firm believe it is important for all of the lawyers to personally take your phone call, answer your questions and counsel you throughout the legal process, from start to finish. The law firm is not a large machine and you will not be treated as though you are simply a file number and handed off to an inexperienced attorney or support person.

Bob has been admitted to courts and litigated cases in the following states: Indiana, Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, Florida, South Carolina, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kentucky.
