Firm Overview 

Thompson, O'Neil & VanderVeen, P.C.

Traverse City, Michigan Personal Injury Lawyers

I've never hired a lawyer before. How can I know which is the right one for me?

It's easy to tell from the ads in the phone book and on TV that many Traverse City lawyers want personal injury cases. How can you tell which attorney is right for you?

You should look for several qualities in a personal injury lawyer. First, the lawyer should have experience with the type of case you have. It is very helpful if your lawyer specializes in the area of personal injury litigation. Second, your lawyer should have financial strength. Third, your lawyer should be focused and determined. 

Experience

Our firm has been focusing on the practice of personal injury litigation for a long , long time. Our founding partner, George Thompson, has been specializing in this area of the law since 1978. As a result, we have come to be particularly knowledgeable not only about the particular body of law that applies to your case, but also about the judges, the lawyers, and the courts who will have an impact upon what happens to your case.

Depth and Strength

Many injured clients lack the money to finance litigation. They need an attorney who can advance the costs for personal injury cases and stand by them until they receive a fair settlement.

Thompson, VanderVeen & O'Neil, P.C. is Northern Michigan's most experienced personal injury firm. Our partner George Thompson is board-certified in civil litigation. We have the financial resources to advance your case-related costs and to out-wait foot-dragging insurance companies.

Focus and Commitment

Our firm represents only injury victims, not insurance companies. While some firms choose to represent both, we've elected to focus on helping injured people.

We don't claim to be experts at everything. If your legal problem is one we don't have experience handling, we'll gladly refer you to another attorney.

Areas of Practice

Our firm specializes in personal injury litigation including injuries arising as a result of automobile accidents, motorcycle and boating accidents, slip and fall injuries, construction site and other industrial injuries and accidents, medical malpractice, and injuries arising as a result of medical and medication errors. We also handle cases involving business disputes, dog bites, and fire insurance and no-fault auto insurance claims.

How we work with clients

If we agree to work together to solve your legal problems, you can be assured that we will keep you informed to make sure that you understand every stage of your case.
