Julie A. Gafkay practices law throughout the state of Michigan and is located centrally in Saginaw County, Michigan.  She has practiced as an attorney in Michigan since 1995. Although the main focus of her practice is employment discrimination law, she also focuses on personal injury. Attorney Gafkay has won several high-profile cases for her clients.  In 2013, she represented the plaintiffs in an action against a large hospital in Flint who granted a patient's request for care based on race.  The case received national attention.  Since 2013, Attorney Gafkay has represented numerous clients who have been the victim of discrimination in the workplace based on a patient's or customer's request for White only employees.  Attorney Gafkay is extremely passionate about seeing this type of discriminatory practice eliminated in our country and has represented clients outside of Michigan, including Oklahoma, in this type of case.. In a 2009 case, Ms. Gafkay represented a client whose fractured leg resulted from an auto accident caused by a negligent driver. The defendant's insurance company offered a settlement of $100,000, which Ms. Gafkay and the plaintiff promptly rejected. She fought tenaciously for her client and won a more suitable judgment of $750,000 for the plaintiff.. She has served as President of the Saginaw County Bar Association and Women Lawyers Association of Michigan.  Her years of experience and dedication to righting the wrongs of discrimination, which include seven years as an associate with a Flint law firm, are testament to her total commitment to her clients.. Ms. Gafkay is also highly involved in her community.  She is a member of the Frankenmuth Morning Rotary Club and contributes heavily to that organization's charitable efforts. She completed her Bachelor of Arts at Michigan State University's James Madison College in 1992 and finished her Juris Doctor in 1996 at Whittier College in California.

I believe the law is a "helping profession" and my job is to protect my clients and help solve their problems. One of my early influences was the great American novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. I was inspired by the strength of character of Atticus Fitch. To this day, I believe the law is a noble calling and requires a practitioner to be an example of good character to his/her community. Certainly being a parent, grandparent, and spouse have been the crucible experiences of my life. I also take great stock in attending two wonderful universities, The University of Michigan and Wayne State University.. Traveling and reading are my favorite hobbies which, together with a strong liberal arts and legal education, have contributed to a broad world view of people and their experiences.. I am an active Rotarian and charter member of Ann Arbor Rotary West.  I'm also pleased to serve on a district committee for the Rotary Foundation as scholarship chair.. Over the years I have represented a wide variety of clients and appreciate the opportunity to assist with solving each client’s legal concerns.

Olsman is president of Olsman MacKenzie & Wallace, P.C.  He has practiced as a personal injury lawyer in Michigan for 39 years.  He represents clients in cases involving nursing homes, doctors and hospitals, assisted living facilities and group homes.  He also handles truck and motor vehicle accident cases as well as police misconduct cases.  During his career, he has helped his clients obtain tens of millions of dollars in damages for their injuries.. Mr. Olsman served as associated counsel in the Agent Orange litigation, breast implant litigation and was also co-lead counsel along with Donna MacKenzie in the cases brought against Farid Fata, M.D., the oncologist who bilked Medicare out of millions of dollars while treating people who did not have any disease.. Mr. Olsman also represented Denise Bryant, the personal representative of her aunt Catherine Hunt, in a major case in Michigan which helped clarify the difference between a case involving simple negligence versus medical malpractice.  The decision in Bryant v. Oakpointe Villa has held up for 13 years in Michigan and has been helpful to judges and lawyers when litigating these types of cases.. Mr. Olsman was named in the Best Lawyers in America from 2007 through 2018 and was named the 2016 and 2018 Personal Injury Litigation-Plaintiffs “Lawyer of the Year” in Troy by Best Lawyers in America. He was named a dbusiness Top Lawyer from 2010-2019. Mr. Olsman has been listed as a Super Lawyer from 2007 through 2018. Additionally, he was named to the Michigan Top 50 Consumer Super Lawyers list in 2013-2018 and the Michigan Top 100 Super Lawyers list in 2009-2016, and again in 2018.

How I Serve Clients. As a lawyer for the past 39 years, I have seen firsthand the terrible consequences of injuries and death which have been suffered by clients and their families.  In addition to physical pain and suffering, there are significant financial losses.  Our job is to try to provide as much assistance as possible to the victims of negligence when it is a result of the conduct of others.. In most cases, insurance companies and large corporations seek to deny liability, delay a case and blame others including the victim of their negligence.  Initial settlements, if offered at all, tend to be far lower than the appropriate value of the case.. Our firm works hard to establish liability as soon as possible and keep our clients advised of the progress of their case.. I have had the opportunity to try many cases to verdict before juries around the State of Michigan.  We are prepared to spend whatever amount of money is necessary on the preparation of a case in order to do the very best possible job we can for our clients.. If you have been injured due to the negligence of another person or corporation, we invite you to call so that we can meet with you to discuss your case.. There is never a charge or obligation for any meeting.  We will attempt to give you as open and honest an assessment as we can initially and explain to you how our firm works and what you might reasonably be expected to achieve in terms of a resolution.
