We Know Their Playbook — Because We Wrote It

For over a decade, we sat on the other side of the table. We represented the insurance companies, the corporations, the government entities. We learned every tactic they use to deny, delay, and diminish your claim. Then we made a choice — we left to fight for the people who actually need representation. When Draugelis & Draugelis takes your case, you get attorneys who know exactly how the defense operates, because we used to be the defense.

We built this firm on a simple premise: everyone deserves aggressive, experienced legal representation — not just those who can afford to pay by the hour. That is why we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win.

Contingency Fee — You pay nothing unless we win your case

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers to the questions we hear most.

In Michigan, you generally have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain cases have shorter deadlines — claims against government entities, medical malpractice, and other specific situations may have different statutes of limitations. Do not wait. Contact us immediately to ensure your rights are protected.
Every case is unique. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the circumstances of the incident. Any attorney who quotes you a number before reviewing the facts is not being honest with you. We provide a realistic, evidence-based assessment during your free consultation.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict. If we do not win, you owe us nothing. The consultation is always free.
Case timelines vary significantly. A straightforward personal injury settlement might resolve in a few months, while complex litigation or cases that go to trial can take a year or more. We never rush a settlement just to close a file — we fight for the full value of your case, however long that takes.
If someone else's negligence or wrongful action caused you harm, you likely have a case. But the only way to know for certain is to speak with an attorney. Our consultations are free and confidential — we will review your situation honestly and tell you whether pursuing a claim makes sense.
First, seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine, some injuries take time to manifest. Document everything: take photos, get witness information, file a police report. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Then call us. The earlier we get involved, the stronger your case.
Most cases settle before trial. However, we are trial lawyers — it is what we do. Insurance companies know which firms actually try cases and which ones always settle. When the other side knows you have attorneys who will take them to trial without hesitation, they offer better settlements. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial.
