Birth Justice Law Firm

What Birth Justice Law Firm does

Birth Justice Law Firm is a privately held, two-attorney boutique law firm headquartered at 29488 Woodward Avenue, Suite 340, Royal Oak, Michigan, practicing exclusively in birth injury and medical malpractice litigation on behalf of plaintiffs. The firm represents families whose mothers or babies suffered injuries during pregnancy, childbirth, or the month after delivery due to alleged medical negligence, with case types spanning cerebral palsy, brain damage, developmental delays, untreated infections, fetal distress, NICU overventilation, and blood transfusion failures. Founded by Emily Grace Thomas and Daniel A. Kosmowski, with legal assistant Sara Lampinen, the firm operates a vertically focused practice with no ancillary business lines.

The firm's service offering spans the full lifecycle of a birth injury case: free initial consultations, medical records review (often thousands of pages), engagement of medical expert witnesses, discovery and depositions, mediated settlement facilitation, trial advocacy, and post-settlement support including special needs trust administration and life care planning. The firm publishes a track record of multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements, including a $42M judgment and settlements ranging from $3.5M to $9M, and has earned recurring recognition through Super Lawyers Rising Stars (Thomas 2014-2025, Kosmowski 2017-2023), Best Lawyers in America 2018-2019, and the 2024 State Bar of Michigan Board Legacy & Impact Award. A case was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal in December 2023.

The business model is contingency-fee professional services: no fees or expenses are charged unless the firm recovers compensation for the client. Client acquisition is sales-led, combining content marketing (blog), earned media (WSJ, podcast appearances on Justice Counts), community involvement (LunaFest sponsorship, Detroit Half Marathon for Mott Children's Hospital, donations to Haven Women's Shelter), and professional networking through Michigan State Bar, American Association for Justice, and Michigan Association for Justice board roles. The firm represents clients statewide from its single Royal Oak office and holds no external investment, parent company, or identified technology platform.

Regional players

• Michigan Auto Law: Michigan-based plaintiff personal injury firm handling auto and other injury cases within the same state geography as Birth Justice Law Firm. Useful as a regional Michigan plaintiff competitor for share-of-voice comparison.

Broad incumbents

• Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein: National plaintiff firm with active medical malpractice and birth injury practice alongside mass tort, securities, and consumer cases. Larger and broader portfolio than Birth Justice but operates in overlapping med-mal space.
• Simmons Hanly Conroy: National plaintiff firm with substantial medical malpractice, mass tort, and asbestos practice. Overlaps with Birth Justice in catastrophic injury and med-mal matters, but with broader scope and significant advertising investment.

Others

• American Association for Justice: National plaintiff bar association of which both Birth Justice attorneys are active members (Thomas spoke at AAJ conventions; Kosmowski received AAJ award). Not a competitor but an enabling organization that drives referrals and standards in med-mal litigation.

Direct peers

• Ross Feller Casey: Philadelphia-based plaintiff firm specializing in medical malpractice, birth injury, and catastrophic injury cases. Uses contingency fee model and physician-attorney team approach for complex med-mal matters.
• Levin & Perconti: Chicago-based plaintiff medical malpractice and birth injury firm with national recognition for cerebral palsy and birth trauma cases. Contingency fee model and similar boutique specialization in catastrophic birth injuries.
• The Beasley Firm: Large Pennsylvania-based plaintiff firm specializing in medical malpractice and birth injury cases, securing multi-million dollar verdicts. One of the most recognized birth injury/malpractice boutiques in the U.S. and the closest direct comparable to Birth Justice Law Firm's niche.

• Reiter & Reiter: New York plaintiff firm focused on birth injury, cerebral palsy, and medical malpractice cases. Highly comparable specialization (birth injury, complex med-mal), contingency fee model, and small boutique structure that mirrors Birth Justice Law Firm.
