About Us

As a premier insurance defense firm handling claims throughout the state of Michigan and beyond, Anselmi Mierzejewski Ruth & Sowle P.C. has helped clients contain costs for more than three decades. Our dedicated attorneys serve as a powerful resource for both insurance companies and claims agents. With cost containment as our overarching goal, our representation is guided by our experience, our trial-centered approach, and our dedication to early disposition or resolution of a case.

Since opening our doors in 1988, we have provided clients in high-exposure situations with the insightful representation they need to minimize costs. Our dedication to insurance law runs deep, and our attorneys have even helped shape the law in Michigan and add to the available defenses that insurance companies can utilize. Our peers know us as assertive advocates who are fiercely loyal to our clients. When they see our lawyers at negotiation or trial, they know our clients are serious about protecting their interests.

We pride ourselves on disposing of cases whenever possible. If a straightforward dismissal is not granted, we work tirelessly to obtain fast, favorable results for our clients.

Although we strive to reach a resolution to cases as soon as possible, we nonetheless prepare every case as though it will go to trial. This approach provides a two-fold benefit. First, it allows us to be well versed in the facts and law involved in a case, allowing us to craft stronger arguments that can resolve a case quickly. Second, if the case should actually go to trial, we will be well prepared to assertively advocate for our clients from the first day of trial until a verdict or settlement is reached.

To schedule a consultation with our dedicated Bloomfield Hills legal team, contact us at 248-338-2290. Our office is open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
