About Richard Groffsky

Becoming a lawyer and handling medical malpractice cases allows me to learn a great deal about the subject. What I enjoy most about being a lawyer is our ability to make things easier and better in the face of a tragic circumstance that someone has had to endure. Understanding the medicine, and combining that with my legal training and experience to help our clients get what they need and deserve has been the highlight of my career. Richard Groffsky focuses his practice on medical malpractice and personal injury litigation, and has represented victims of devastating brain injuries and birth injuries in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, South Carolina, and Georgia in significant brain injury and birth injury cases. Rick's strength is in the field of medical malpractice where an understanding of medical science combined with legal training and experience allows him to help clients obtain the relief they need and deserve. Throughout his career, Rick has helped victims of devastating brain and birth injuries in Georgia, Michigan, and Illinois.
