Practice Areas

Michigan Trial Lawyers

The lawyers at Dilley Haney, P.C., offer legal representation in a wide range of areas to individual and corporate clients. As trial attorneys, we advocate for clients in the state and federal courts of Michigan. We also represent clients at the appellate level.

Our practice focuses on several distinct areas, including:

Employee benefits

• ERISA. Most employee benefit programs are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). We help employees whose benefit claims under this law are denied including disability insurance, pension and health insurance issues.
• Long-term Disability Insurance. We represent people in claims against their disability insurance carrier, whether ERISA or non-ERISA policies.

Family law

• We represent divorcing spouses, assisting with property distribution and other issues that arise during divorce. We do everything possible under the circumstances to protect clients’ assets by drafting complete prenuptial agreements.

Environmental law

• We represent hunting groups and other organizations in environmental law matters.

Personal injury

• Auto accidents. We have obtained compensation for victims of auto accidents and other motor vehicle accidents caused by negligence or misconduct including commercial trucking accidents.
• Wrongful deaths. Our attorneys undertake wrongful death cases, obtaining compensation for families who have lost loved ones in accidents caused by the negligence of another.
• Construction accidents. We represent clients in on-the-job accidents involving negligent third parties (not the injured person’s employer).

In all of these areas we provide local counsel services to individuals and organizations throughout the United States and beyond, representing them in state and federal courts in Michigan. We also offer mediation services in all matters, from family law to commercial litigation; Frederick D. Dilley is a certified federal mediator and uses his many years of experience to advise and prepare our clients.
