Mr. Chowning has a special capacity to listen and understand the needs of all individuals represented by him. His knowledge of medical issues and decades of dealing with difficult types of injuries has made him very efficient in helping clients get the aid they need in Workers' Compensation, Social Security, and personal injury cases. He also handles all his clients' legal needs which includes the drafting of wills and Power of Attorney.

As a Michigan Workers' Compensation attorney, Mr. Chowning has worked on thousands of Workers' Compensation claims, handling each case personally as if it was his own.
