Jeffrey E. Kaufman has been a devoted advocate for injured workers since 2005, practicing at Michigan Workers Comp Lawyers in Farmington Hills, Michigan. From the moment he meets a new client, he commits himself to understanding every detail of their case and ensuring they feel informed, supported and empowered throughout the claims process. Recognizing the daunting resources that insurance companies and employers bring to bear, he levels the playing field by blending meticulous preparation with unwavering tenacity.
Over the course of his career, Mr. Kaufman has secured millions of dollars in benefits for his clients. In one landmark victory, he persuaded a judge to set aside a patently unfair settlement – ultimately negotiating an award five times greater than the original agreement. In another, he achieved the largest settlement in his firm’s history. And when an employer attempted to evade responsibility by hiding assets and operating without workers’ compensation insurance, he successfully recovered the full benefits his client deserved.
Mr. Kaufman earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in 2004 and was admitted to the State Bar of Michigan that same year. He is also licensed to practice before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. A graduate of Michigan State University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in political science. His peers and clients alike recognize his legal skill and ethical standards – DBusiness Magazine has repeatedly named him a Top Lawyer in workers’ compensation law in metro Detroit.
Whether negotiating complex settlements or litigating in court, Mr. Kaufman remains steadfast in his mission – securing fair compensation and protecting the rights of every injured worker he represents.
