What “Community Law Firm” Means in Oakland County

Big, high-volume “factory” firms move files; we build relationships. At Liss, Shapero & Mitnick, being an Oakland County community law firm means we learn your story, understand how the injury changed your life, and tailor the strategy around you. You’re never a case number—and you’ll never wonder who’s handling your matter.

The whole team, on every case.

When you hire LSM, you get our entire team, not just one attorney. Attorneys and staff collaborate daily—sharing insights, pressure-testing arguments, and moving tasks in parallel—so your case advances faster and smarter from intake through resolution.

Accessible, plain-English guidance.

You’ll have direct lines to attorneys and support staff, clear timelines for each phase, and updates in plain English (not legalese). If we don’t hear from you, you’ll hear from us—because proactive communication prevents surprises and reduces stress.

Local insight that matters.

We live and work here. That means practical familiarity with Oakland County roads and corridors (Woodward Ave., I-75, M-59), winter ice/snow hazards, local courts, and treatment patterns with area medical providers and rehab clinics. We also understand how regional insurers negotiate, which helps us anticipate tactics and prepare your case accordingly.

This is the community-firm difference: relationship-driven, story-forward advocacy backed by coordinated teamwork and local know-how—so your case is positioned for the best possible outcome.

Practice Areas Focused on Local Needs

As an Oakland County community law firm, Liss, Shapero & Mitnick tailors its services to the real-world needs of people living and working throughout the county. Our attorneys handle a full range of personal injury and insurance-related cases, combining deep local knowledge with decades of litigation experience.

Here’s how we help our neighbors every day:

  • Motor Vehicle Injuries: We represent drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and rideshare users injured in collisions. From commercial truck crashes to uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims, we fight for every dollar of medical care, lost wages, and long-term support you deserve.
  • No-Fault Insurance Benefits: Michigan’s no-fault system can be confusing. We help clients secure personal injury protection (PIP) benefits, including medical bills, wage-loss benefits, attendant care, and mileage reimbursements—making sure insurers honor their obligations.
  • Premises Liability: Whether it’s a slip-and-fall on ice, a trip hazard at a retail store, or negligent security at an apartment complex, we hold property owners accountable for unsafe conditions.
  • Nursing Home Neglect & Elder Injury: We protect seniors from harm caused by understaffing, medication errors, pressure sores, and unsafe environments. Our firm investigates and acts quickly to stop mistreatment and secure compensation for residents and their families.
  • Product Liability: From defective household products to recalled medical devices and dangerous machinery, we take on manufacturers and distributors whose products harm consumers.
  • Workplace Injuries: We handle third-party claims and complex employer-liability scenarios under Michigan law—cases many firms turn down because of their difficulty.
  • Wrongful Death & Catastrophic Injury: We pursue justice and financial recovery for families facing devastating loss and for individuals suffering from traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, disfigurement, or other life-changing harm.
  • Insurance Disputes: We stand up to insurance companies that delay, deny, or undervalue valid claims, challenging bad-faith tactics and fighting for full recovery.

With Liss, Shapero & Mitnick, you get more than legal representation—you get a dedicated team focused on your recovery, your rights, and your future. Our experience in Oakland County’s courts, combined with our hands-on approach, means your case is built to win from day one.
