What Makes Goodman Acker the Best

We Are Honest

Honesty is a bit of a forgotten virtue in a modern world that favors image and profitability over substance. At Goodman Acker P.C., however, honest dealings with clients is a hallmark of our practice. This means, first and foremost, giving you a straightforward appraisal of your case in language you can understand. As a potential client, our goal is to educate you—without language steeped in legalese—on your legal rights and options.

We won’t guarantee success in order to secure your case. But if you do decide to let us represent you, we will promise to pour all of our professional resources into restoring your life to how it was before your injury. You’ll be able to reach us at any time with a question and can expect a prompt, honest answer in return. In practicing honesty, we also expect it from the parties we oppose. Defendants and their insurance companies may not be forthcoming and forthright, but one way or another, we’ll find a way to bring the truth to light.

We Are Ethical

We believe in setting right the wrongs that have been visited on clients. Personal injury law is predicated on the idea that those who are victims of others’ negligence have a right to compensation aimed at making them whole—or as whole as possible—again. The law isn’t perfect, but it is still a powerful avenue for justice. Those who harm others should be held accountable, and our Detroit attorneys seek accountability for careless and reckless actors.

Law without ethics is not possible. In practicing law ethically, we seek to maintain the credibility of a system that allows people with the bad luck of being injured to get back what they lost. Individuals and companies sometimes act as though the law does not apply to them. The role of an attorney is to make sure that laws are upheld for the betterment of not only claimants, but society as a whole.

In addition to helping people in the courtroom, we also try to make a difference in peoples’ lives through other means, including:

• Charitable work (such as the Groceries for Guns program)
• Supporting political candidates who promote equal access to justice

We Are Experienced

Our success as lawyers stems from our more than 150 years of experience in the legal field. While our attorneys come from a wide range of backgrounds, we have found common ground in using the law to help the victims of car accidents, medical malpractice, unsafe property, and other accidents, as well as disabled individuals who need help with workers’ compensation claims, securities fraud, and much more.

Through the course of their professional development, our lawyers have held a number of significant leadership positions, such as:

• Past chair of the Michigan Bar Association’s Negligence Section and worked for political candidates (Barry Goodman)

Other members of our firm have advised the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and served as Executive Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, among other distinctions.
