also known as Stephen Sinas, Steve Sinas
I am a partner at Sinas Dramis Law Firm, headquartered in Lansing, Michigan. I am a personal injury trial attorney. In other words, I specialize in representing people who have been injured or harmed by the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, institution, or governmental entity. One of my main areas of expertise consists of representing clients in personal injury and wrongful death actions regarding crashes involving motor vehicles, semi-trucks, motorcycles or bicycles. Moreover, I also specialize in litigating against auto insurance companies that have wrongfully denied coverage or benefits to injured people. In addition to auto-related cases, I also handle a wide variety of other personal injury cases, including police misconduct/excessive force cases, sexual assault cases, premises liability cases, dog-bite cases, etc. I have litigated cases in numerous state and federal trial courts across Michigan and have handled cases at the Michigan Court of Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court.
Unfortunately, with all the misinformation in the media and tacky legal advertising, I know that personal injury lawyers may get a bad rap. The truth, however, is that a personal injury trial lawyer, like me, has the honorable duty of advocating for those seriously injured or harmed by the wrongdoing of another person, company or government. I passionately embrace that duty every day I come to work. It is a privilege to represent my clients. As their advocate, I know I must effectively tell their story and fully pursue all rights available to them under the law. I owe it to my clients to use my skill, knowledge, and compassion to provide them the very best representation they so deserve.
I currently serve as an Adjunct Professor of the Michigan No-Fault Auto Insurance Law at the Michigan State University College of Law. I regularly lecture and write about various issues related to personal injury law and civil justice. I serve as an Executive Board Member of the Michigan Association for Justice, Executive Board Member of the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council, and Executive Board Member and Secretary of the Ingham County Bar Association.
I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, where I double-majored in Economics and English Literature and minored in Modern Greek Language and Culture. I received my law degree from Wayne State University Law School.

In 2015 I experienced an awful car accident, lost my job, and to this day continue to suffer from chronic pain.

Stephen Sinas came as a recommendation by my family's case manager; highly recommended at that. We've had--unfortunately--unpleasant and horrible experiences with prior attorneys, and thus, were skeptical. However, since our case manager was fantastic, we took their advice and recommendation and ...

We met and hired Steve Sinas a few days after a fatal car crash changed our lives. From beginning to end, Steve was outstanding. He explained the process to us in the hospital, in our home and ultimately when I was able to go to his office. He not only represented us well, but cared about our concer...
