About Kevin Stoops
It's not often that you find a profession where the outcome of your work can - and often does - have a profound impact on the life of your client and his or her family. I am not afraid to go to the wall for my clients and to turn over every stone to fight for their rights. I grew up working construction each and every summer for my father. I learned valuable lessons from many weeks of working 80 to 100 hours, including not being afraid of working hard to reach your goals.
Kevin Stoops is nationally recognized as one of the preeminent plaintiff class action wage and hour attorneys. He has successfully obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for his clients and along the way built a solid track record of winning outcomes in complex, high-dollar cases and class action lawsuits. He handles cases under the Fair Labor Standards Act, intellectual property and bet-the-company commercial property litigation.
He most enjoys helping people who do not have the ability or means to fight for their rights against their employers and against big businesses. When Kevin was a kid growing up, he worked in construction every summer for his dad and learned valuable lessons working 80 to 100 hours a week. One of those lessons was to not be afraid of working hard to reach your goals.

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. It was reached in Livingston County Circuit Court in March 2016. The $10.5 million is a single class figure that the sources do not itemise by patient. Robert B. 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.
