About Attorney Awards

Catastrophic Damage Control

Regardless of the kind of catastrophic damages--the personal injury case with permanent impairments, the divorce case with a massive family estate in dispute, or the antitrust case where a once-successful company was driven out of business--there are typically two versions of what damages are appropriate. One is the exaggerated high allegation; the other is the astonishingly “low ball” response. The winning truth is in the actual damages that can be proven.

When things go wrong, knowledge of actual damages is essential to realistic decision- making. When our clients face the catastrophic case, the Kitch firm quarterbacks the efforts of national authorities on damages--who may, depending on the case, be a combination of accountants, financial analysts, actuaries, economists, healthcare professionals, insurance specialists, life care planners, estimators, appraisers, investment advisors or annuitists, to find and effectively present that winning truth.

In addition, Kitch maintains substantial databases on expert cross examination templates, medical literature and legal impeachment materials. Combined with our knowledge and litigation skill, these are all essential tools we use to invalidate the creative economics of road show experts often brought into these kinds of cases.

Diversity

The Kitch firm was co-founded in Detroit in 1969 by Richard A. Kitch and Richard F. Suhrheinrich, now a Senior Federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge.

Historically, the Firm has attracted a diverse pool of attorneys and staff, seeking only the most talented individuals to serve our clients.

The Kitch firm was recognized in 2006 by Michigan Lawyers Weekly as the Detroit area law firm with the highest percentage of women attorneys (41%) and the highest percentage of female partners (27%).

The Kitch firm recognizes and celebrates the concept of diversity and  equal opportunity in the workplace.
