M. Michael Stephenson

Attorney Mike Stephenson has 40 years of experience and is a trusted advisor to many individuals and companies. His current practice is dominated by civil litigation in state and federal courts. He focuses much of his time on handling catastrophic injuries caused by all types of accidents, including car wrecks, semi, industrial, product liability, and fire, just to name a few. He also works extensively in construction-related matters.

Mike believes that a thorough and detailed investigation is required to determine all passible legal theories which may be available to fully protect the client’s interests and to identify the total extent of the damages. He recognizes that a thorough analysis often requires hiring expert witnesses in all types of fields, including medical, visibility, engineering, reconstruction, and wood science. He has retained expert witnesses from around the world, including a gentleman who obtained the first patent for a specific tool when the product design and function was at issue. He has also retained an expert witness from Europe when the design of another product was in question.
