How we match your Troy medical malpractice case
When you submit a Troy medical malpractice matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.
Case type
A medical malpractice matter needs someone who handles medical malpractice work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.
Size and complexity
Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.
Jurisdiction and licensing
Your matter is decided under Michigan law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Michigan who regularly appears where your case would be heard.
Capacity and fit
Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.
Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.
DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

How much do Troy medical malpractice attorneys cost?
Sample settlement statement
Michigan · Medical Malpractice
Illustrative only. Your fee terms are set in a written agreement with your attorney and may include costs and expenses regardless of outcome.
Most Michigan medical malpractice attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.
Michigan caps personal-injury (including med-mal) contingency fees under MCR 8.121: 1/3 of the recovery is the maximum, with fees calculated on the net amount after costs are deducted (NOT 33% of the gross). NOI preparation, affidavit-of-merit experts, and depositions push case-cost advances to $75,000–$300,000 in serious cases.
