In 1975 Michael Serling founded 
the firm currently known as Serling 
& Abramson, P.C. Michael pioneered 
asbestos litigation in Michigan 
by filing the first mesothelioma 
case in our state. Over the past 
five decades the firm developed a 
specialty representing victims of 
asbestos related diseases such as 
mesothelioma and lung cancer. The 
firm now employs 25 people.

Eric Abramson joined the firm in 
1989 as an investigator. After seeing 
great promise in his work, Michael 
encouraged him to finish his 
undergraduate degree and continue 
on to law school. Eric earned his law 
degree in 1997.

Serling & Abramson has 
represented over 8,000 plaintiffs 
with asbestos related diseases, 
including over 100 cases in 
Israel. Many have died from 

mesothelioma and lung cancer. The 
firm also successfully represented 
335 Michigan school districts in a 
class action, obtaining over $100 
million, allowing these school 
districts to remove asbestos from 
their buildings, thus making them 
safer for our children, teachers and 
building occupants.

Through the years the firm has 
extended its practice to incorporate 
other areas of complex litigation 
such as representing individuals 
injured by defective medical 
devices, Roundup weed killer
cancer claims, auto accidents, 
sexual abuse claims, wrongful 
death cases and other injury 
lawsuits.

The firm, with offices in Birmingham 
and Allen Park, built its reputation 
fighting for victims of asbestos 
disease and is proud to extend that 

fight to other litigation with the 
same compassion, protection and 
results that can and should always 
be expected.

It is to your advantage to be 
represented by a local law firm 
with decades of experience rather 
than by out of state lawyers or 
advertisers with no expertise. Our 
firm offers a free consultation to 
evaluate potential claims. Call us.
