What You Should Know

Many law firms that advertise for birth trauma cases do not even specialize in this area and rarely keep the cases. Instead, they refer them to birth trauma specialty firms and attorneys for a fee. Our firm has always specialized in birth injury cases. Birth injury cases are the main focus of our practice and we stay on the cutting edge of this complex field. Jesse Reiter is the current Co-Chair of the American Association of Justice’s Birth Trauma Litigation Group, an organization of attorneys dedicated to representing birth injured children in the United States and around the world.  

Birth injury cases are among the most complicated. The legal team that you choose needs to have the specialized skills and experience to handle the complex medical records and evidence of your child’s case.  The attorneys at American Baby & Child Law Centers are highly skilled and experienced in numerous types of birth injury cases: cerebral palsy, mental retardation, developmental delays, birth asphyxia and more. We work with highly regarded medical and life-planning professionals to determine the causes, extent of injury and prognosis. Our attorneys will work diligently for you and your child.

When you need the legal advice and expertise of a birth injury lawyer, place your trust in the qualified hands of American Baby and Child Law Centers. We service not only Detroit, Southeast Michigan and the tri-county area (Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties), but also Grand Rapids, Lansing, the entire state of Michigan as well as Toledo and Cleveland Ohio and cases around the country. We have helped our clients achieve some of the largest dollar amounts in Michigan, even when other attorneys have turned cases down.
