Experience
The lawyers at
Thompson, O'Neil & Vanderveen, P.C. have been focusing on the practice of
personal injury litigation for a long time. Each has more than 20 years of
experience.
Our founding partner, George Thompson, has been specializing in this area of the
law since 1978. As a result of our experience, we have come to be particularly
knowledgeable not only about the body of law that applies to injury cases and
insurance disputes, but also about the judges, the lawyers, the expert
witnesses, and the courts who will have an impact upon what happens to your
case.
Depth and
Strength
Many injured
clients lack the money to finance litigation. They need an attorney who can
advance the costs for personal injury cases and stand by them until they receive
a fair settlement.
Thompson, VanderVeen & O'Neil, P.C. is Northern Michigan's most experienced
personal injury firm. Our partners George Thompson and Dan O’Neil are
board-certified in civil litigation. We are listed in several publications that
recognize the “best” lawyers in the country and in Michigan. We have the
financial resources to advance your case-related costs and to out-wait
foot-dragging insurance companies.
Focus and
Commitment
Our firm
represents only injury victims, not insurance companies. While some firms choose
to represent both, we've elected to focus on helping injured people. We think
that trying to represent both sides of these issues compromises a lawyer’s
ability to zealously represent victims.
We don't claim to be experts at everything. If your legal problem is one we
don't have experience handling, we'll gladly refer you to another attorney.
Areas of
Practice
Our firm
specializes in personal injury litigation including injuries arising as a result
of automobile accidents, motorcycle and boating accidents, slip and fall
injuries, construction site and other industrial injuries and accidents, medical
malpractice, and injuries arising as a result of medical and medication errors.
We also handle cases involving business disputes, dog bites, and fire insurance
and no-fault auto insurance claims.
How we
work with clients
If we agree to
work together to solve your legal problems, you can be assured that we will keep
you informed to make sure that you understand every stage of your case.
