Firm Profile


Profile

For the fourth consecutive year, peers have selected lawyers at The Googasian Firm, P.C to the Super Lawyers® list. All four members—George Googasian, Tom Howlett, Craig Weber and Dean Googasian—have been selected.

The Googasian Firm distinguishes itself as a special kind of law firm: Rather than being a firm that handles all matters for all clients, it is a specialized litigation firm that takes on complex commercial matters, catastrophic injury cases and class actions.

Nearly every case handled by The Googasian Firm is on behalf of a client referred by another firm. Lawyers across Michigan and beyond entrust their clients’ welfare in sensitive malpractice cases and other major matters to The Googasian Firm. National law firms also regularly turn to The Googasian Firm to serve as co-counsel in matters pending in Michigan.

At the foundation of the firm’s reputation among national and state lawyers is its commitment to vigorous representation with a high degree of professionalism. The firm consistently achieves favorable outcomes in a dignified manner that reflects favorably on its clients and on the legal profession. The Googasian Firm takes seriously its responsibilities as a destination of choice for people beset by personal tragedies and for businesses suffering significant economic harm.

Another unique aspect of The Googasian Firm is its willingness to represent individuals and corporations on a contingent-fee basis, in which the firm’s fees turn on a favorable outcome.

In 2009, The Googasian Firm continued its record of achievement in litigation and service to the legal profession. In one matter, a major corporation turned to the firm for help following entry of an astounding $376 million judgment; The Googasian Firm successfully moved to set aside the judgment after a federal district judge ruled that a “fraud on the court” had occurred. In another matter, the firm litigated and resolved a matter on behalf of a catastrophically disfigured client within months of her life-changing injury. Googasian attorneys also represented a class of several thousand students of a for-profit school in claims pertaining to the school’s degree-granting authority in Michigan. The firm also prevailed in the Michigan Supreme Court on behalf of a corporate client with a multimillion-dollar dispute against General Motors. In addition, senior partner George Googasian received an award for excellence from the State Bar of Michigan’s negligence section, and he was recognized in Michigan Lawyers Weekly as a “Leader in the Law.”
