About Michael McCullough
I pride myself in thinking outside the box. I enjoy the challenge of finding new avenues to prosecute a claim and get justice for my clients. I have litigated cases through to trial and have been successful in obtaining settlements in highly disputed cases. I am not all work all the time. I am a super fan of the Detroit Lions and have a Matthew Stafford bobble-head that gets moved around the office depending on the Lion's performance each week.

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.
