About Kathryn Milz
I viewed attorneys, especially women, as strong, independent, superhero-like professionals who saved the world. Today, I seize the opportunity to make a difference for my clients. Kate Milz represents clients whose employers have negligently or purposely withheld wages, overtime, and other compensation. Most are class action disputes litigated in federal courts across the U.S. A proven collaborator and committed team player, Kate is involved in every phase of complex litigation.
She steps up and provides whatever is needed to help deliver the best possible outcomes. A bigger picture strategist who also pays meticulous attention to details, Kate leaves no stone unturned when collecting facts, researching and applying the law, and advocating for every client. Following law school, Kate practiced in Chicago with two litigation firms, where she managed a substantial docket of cases, appeared in court, conducted pre-suit intake and investigations, and excelled in written advocacy. She also brings valuable business-to-consumer experience outside the law, offering her valuable perspective on clients' needs and the challenges litigation imposes on them.

A class settlement with Michigan Pain Specialists resolved claims of 311 patients and survivors of the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak traced to contaminated steroid injections.

Sickels of Sommers Schwartz PC sat on the three-attorney plaintiffs' steering committee for Michigan.
After two federal jury verdicts found that Frankenmuth violated the Loesel family's equal-protection rights by passing a zoning ordinance designed to block a Walmart land sale, the city settled for $3.7 million in November 2014.
On April 25, 2014, a Saginaw County jury returned a $1,612,269 verdict for Debra Cameron and her husband, Hugh, against family physician James V. Bodrie, M.D. The jury found he failed to pursue a cardiac workup despite months of symptoms and a chest X-ray showing an enlarged heart, and that Ms. Cameron suffered a major heart attack days later. The award included $262,268.86 in medical expenses, with the rest for non-economic damages, and the vote was 6-2. Michigan's 2014 cap on non-economic damages in malpractice cases limits that portion to $440,200, so the most that could stand was about $702,469, and no appeal was filed.
