About Michels & Lew
For over 35 years, the Los Angeles Law Firm of Michels & Lew has been representing victims of catastrophic injury throughout California and surrounding states. Our personal injury lawyers have represented over 1,000 individuals and families, including victims of medical malpractice, school accidents, sexual abuse, drowning accidents and other tragic accidents. We have been successful in recovering compensation in nearly every case we have handled. The quality of our legal services is documented in verdicts and settlements. Our recoveries total over one billion dollars, including the then highest award ever for a fatal child injury against a local school district and one of the highest awards for a birth injury against Los Angeles County. We have the legal experience, the investigative tools and the medical expertise to handle even the most complex catastrophic injury cases.
We provide the support our clients need to recover
Our clients have experienced brain injury, paralysis, third-degree burns, loss of an infant in childbirth, sexual abuse and other catastrophic injuries. Without exception, they have experienced tragedies before they enter our offices. Our lawyers and staff members are sensitive to these situations. For that reason our service does not stop in the courtroom—we are committed to providing our clients with the support and services they need to cope with the legal process, to get the medical and rehabilitative care they need and to rebuild their lives after their cases are resolved. Victims of tragedy should be afforded a life of dignity and the best medical care available with absolutely no out-of-pocket expenses.
Our LA firm, formerly The Law Office of Philip Michels, a Professional Law Corporation, is known throughout California for its work in the area of medical malpractice, and our attorneys are supported by a team led by Bradford S. Davis, M.D., former clinical director of the Emergency Department at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica. We handle medical malpractice cases including birth injuries, nursing home injuries, failure to diagnose cancer, radiation errors, misdiagnosis of heart attack and stroke, emergency room errors and hospital negligence.
