Michigan Slip and Fall Laws
The Michigan slip and fall laws are difficult for injured plaintiffs due to the number of defenses available under the law. However, even with these defense obstacles, we have had great success in both pre-suit settlements, litigated settlements, and jury trials. While some Michigan law firms will not accept these cases, we do take them and pay referral fees to other attorneys.
Paying Attorney Referral Fees for Michigan Slip and Fall Cases
In Michigan, a referring attorney can receive a referral fee from the case handling law firm. The ethics rule does not require that a referring lawyer co-counsel or actively participate in the case. We do notify the client of the referral arrangement.
Our standard referral is one-third of the net attorney earned in the case and we guarantee it to you in writing immediately upon being retained by the client. When the case settles, we will promptly send you a referral fee check.
How Lawyers Refer Their Slip and Fall Cases to Us
Referring your Michigan slip and fall case to us is easy. You refer us your client by doing the following:
- Call (888) 797-8787 to speak with one of our attorneys first to discuss the case to see if we are interested in the referral.
- E-mail Lawrence J. Buckfire at larry@buckfirelaw.com to provide information about the case.
- Have your client call us directly and mention that an attorney referred the case to our firm.
If you have a client contact us directly, make sure the client provides your name as the referring attorney. We also ask that you follow up and confirm the referral to make sure you are credited if the case settles at a later date. We are zealous at attributing new cases to the referring lawyer to ensure a referral fee is paid upon settlement.
