What Reiter & Walsh does

Reiter & Walsh, P.C., doing business as ABC Law Centers: Birth Injury Lawyers, is a privately held U.S. plaintiff law firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The firm provides legal representation exclusively to families of children who have suffered birth injuries, with case categories centered on hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), cerebral palsy, neonatal brain damage, and related conditions arising from medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. The firm's service model spans case intake, medical record review, expert witness consultation, life-care planning, and litigation, with a stated track record of over $350 million recovered in verdicts, settlements, and judgments across its history.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis ("No Fee Unless We Win"), which is standard for plaintiff-side medical malpractice work and aligns firm revenue directly with case outcomes. A distinctive operational feature is the firm's in-house registered nursing staff (Lesley Atton, RN BSN and Janelle Daniel, RNC-OB), which integrates clinical expertise into case development and claim evaluation, supplemented by an external network of medical experts, forensic specialists, and life-care planners. The team comprises five to seven attorneys (Jesse M. Reiter, Rebecca Walsh, Anne Randall, James R. McCullen, Jennifer Secorski, Taylor Goodwin, and Bronwyn Cargo) plus the nursing and support staff, giving a total headcount of 11–50.

Distribution is national rather than regional: from a single Michigan office, the firm accepts cases across all 50 U.S. states, supported by a 24/7 intake infrastructure (phone, web forms, Spanish-language support) and a dense state-by-state SEO and content marketing footprint. The firm supplements legal work with the Reiter HIE Fund, a research partnership with Dr. John Barks at the University of Michigan focused on HIE treatment, signaling a positioning strategy that blends plaintiff advocacy with medical research credibility. The firm is independently owned by its partners, with no disclosed outside investment or parent company.
