Barry J. Goodman has devoted his professional life to keeping courthouse doors open for victims seeking justice.. Always a tireless advocate for his own clients, Goodman sees his responsibility as an attorney in a broader sense as well. He has been very active politically, supporting candidates who share his belief in equal access to justice and taking leadership roles in professional organizations.. A native New Yorker, Goodman knew that he wanted to become a plaintiff’s lawyer from the time he was a child and his father, a postal employee, was injured in a traffic accident while on the job and left him dependent on federal workers compensation for the rest of his life.. “I didn’t think justice was provided to him, I didn’t want that to happen to others, and that was probably the impetus for me to go into law,” he says.. He received a scholarship to attend Bradley University, receiving his undergraduate degree there in 1974. He then attended Stetson University College of Law, got his J.D. there in 1977, and launched his legal career in Florida with a small general-practice firm where he stayed for two years before moving to Michigan.. He worked in two firms, focusing his practice solely on personal-injury cases. On Sunday mornings, he frequently played basketball at the Jewish Community Center, where he befriended another basketball-loving attorney, Gerald H. Acker. The two men began talking about forming their own practice and finally did so in 1993.. The firm’s practice has continued to concentrate on plaintiff’s personal-injury cases and over the years Goodman has recorded some impressive achievements. His biggest outcome occurred in 2001, when his client received a $14.5-million arbitration award to pay for medical and related costs stemming from injuries she received when faulty sub-surface wiring caused a manhole cover to fly up and strike a car in which she was a passenger. He’s also achieved several seven-figure settlements for injured clients.. In addition to his busy practice, Goodman has worked for a number of political candidates who support the civil-justice system. They include working on the finance committees of U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Congressman Gary Peters in his quest for the seat of U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, who is retiring in 2015.. He has served on the finance committees of Pres. Barack Obama and Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry, served as a delegate to three Democratic National Conventions, and in 2012 was named to the Democratic National Committee.. He has received the Champion of Justice Award from the Michigan Association for Justice and the Wings of Justice Award from the Oakland County Bar Association. In addition, Goodman is a frequent lecturer at professional gatherings and is past chair of the Michigan Bar Association’s Negligence Section.. He is also a longtime board member of the Anti-Defamation League, serving that organization as an officer for many years.. Goodman is proud of his work in the broader political and public spheres, but considers his daily work on behalf of his clients to be the most fulfilling aspect of his life.. “I love coming to work every day,” he says. “I love representing folks whose lives have been disrupted due to the negligence of others and helping them to rebuild their lives, helping to give them back a sense of worth so that their future can again be bright. It’s very rewarding.”

Barry Fayne is a matrimonial law specialist, representing clients in the context of divorce, child custody, and parental rights proceedings. He also provides litigation services for corporate and real estate disputes.. Mr. Fayne believes that, whenever possible, a divorce should be resolved amicably. When children are involved, the parents have to work with each other for years after the divorce is final, and a bitter divorce can result in endless, expensive "post-judgment" litigation. Even in the most bitter of divorces, a negotiated settlement will bring a sense of closure to a relationship, while a judge's decision will often cause both spouses to feel like they "lost."If negotiations fail, Mr. Fayne is a skilled trial lawyer, and is ready to fight for your rights. Prior to specializing in family law, Mr. Fayne successfully litigated cases against national corporations. As a prominent family law specialist, Mr. Fayne has tried cases against many of Michigan's elite family law practitioners.Some attorneys will talk tough, but are unprepared to try cases, and will settle cases for inadequate amounts if their only other choice is to go to trial. Attorneys who know Mr. Fayne know that he is a seasoned trial attorney, that the threat of litigation doesn't scare him, and that he will fight for his clients' rights.Mr. Fayne's practice areas include family law, elder law and grandparent's right, probate law and trust litigation, real estate law, and corporate law. He has been litigating cases since 1973, in both state and federal courts.

A native of Iraq and a Chaldean, Ronita Bahri came to the U.S. with her family as a refugee at the age of 8, settling in the Detroit area. At a young age she became trilingual, speaking her native Aramaic, Arabic (which she learned while living in Iraq and Jordan), and English here in the United States. Bahri, the youngest of six children, was the first of her family to go to college. She not only went to college, but also graduated magna cum laude from Wayne State University in 2011 with a B.A. degree in political science and psychology. After earning her undergraduate degree, Bahri set out to San Francisco for a new perspective on life and to earn her J.D. from the University of San Francisco, School of Law. In 2014, she returned home to the Detroit area after graduating with one goal in mind: To serve the community.. "I missed home," she says, "and I always wanted to be in a field where I could help those in need.". Before becoming a Detroit personal injury attorney at Goodman Acker P.C. in 2015, Bahri worked as a legal and policy associate at Michigan Community Resources in Detroit, where she assisted start-up nonprofit organizations. Having had some courtroom experience interning with the San Francisco Public Defenders office during her third year of law school, she wanted the chance to try cases. So when the opportunity to join Goodman Acker, P.C. came along, she took it, launching a busy practice that focuses on personal injury and no-fault insurance cases.. In law school, she was very active in student organizations, serving as president of the Middle Eastern Law Student Association and chief executive editor of the Law and Global Justice Forum. She was also co-chair of the Student Bar Association's Diversity Committee.. Currently, she is a member of the Chaldean American Bar Association and the Michigan Association for Justice. In addition to the personal satisfaction she derives from helping people, Bahri also finds law to be a fulfilling profession in other ways. "It's a learning experience,” she says. “I never want to stop learning, so that's one of the things that I enjoy about it. And there's a lot of human interaction, whether it's people on the other side or your clients or co-workers. I really enjoy that.". Bahri also takes pleasure from spending time with her family—she has seven nephews and three nieces who mean the world to her. "I wanted to be a part of their lives, they are very important to me." She is also an avid follower of the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings.
