About

I am a trial lawyer who truly cares about my clients.  I have been practicing law in all Michigan courts since 1984.  Over the course of my 30-year career practicing law, my firms, partner, and associates have represented thousands of clients, and litigated hundreds of cases, obtaining settlements totaling millions of dollars.When you retain me to represent you, be assured that I will personally handle all aspects of your case.  I will fight for those injured due to the negligence of the other driver, whether the case involves a rear end collision, motorcycle accident, trucking accident, rollover, side collisions, or side collisions.I will determine who is responsible, whose insurance policy pays for your expenses and losses, and what you can expect to recover for pain and suffering if the accident was someone else’s fault. I will first attempt to settle your claim out of court by negotiating with the responsible insurance company.  If a fair settlement cannot be reached, I will advise you on the feasibility of filing a lawsuit. If I file a lawsuit on your behalf, I will help you, every step of the way. I CHARGE NO ATTORNEY FEE IF THERE IS NO RECOVERY on any injury case where I am retained on a contingent fee basis. My firm also helps clients with a full range of legal matters including: business law, reviewing contracts, setting up Limited Liability Companies, and resolving probate disputes between heirs and beneficiaries.

Although this was my first experience using a lawyer, I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to work with Mr. Goutman. Phil worked very hard on my behalf, and made me feel like I was his sole focus. I consider him a professional, in every manner. Mr. Goutman used his experience, skills, and foresight, and put together such an overwhelmingly solid case, he was able to secure a generous settlement without the delay and hassle going to trial. He worked diligently and always kept me up-to-date about the progress with my case. Furthermore, he consistently went out of his way to make sure I understood the process at each step along the way. Phil was very thoughtful, courteous, and professional at every turn. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Goutman to anyone seeking a great attorney that will truly go to work for you.

Mr. Goutman was referred to me from another lawyer for his expertise. Having worked together on a bad case which didn't look good for me, Mr. Goutman was able to quickly sort out pertinent facts which allowed me to move forward with multiple vendors; he explained details I needed to understand to maneuver on my own and talk the talk with different corporations; and he was very efficient in his writing to back up our facts when we needed to lay down the hammer. He truly does everything one can to stay out of court as it is not in our best interest... Most importantly, he cared about me as an individual and that showed through in his day-to-day interactions. Wicked smart about everything. Genuine. Personable. Honest. And devoted to helping others. What why would you want to work with anyone else. I recommend Phil Goutman hands down for any of your legal needs.

Mr. Goutman helped me with an auto accident case, which was a Hugh learning experience! He also helped me to not give up! The health insurance and the auto insurance went back and forth over who was responsible for everything, Mr. Goutman got to the bottom of it with a lot of hard work he got it settled!

Mr. Goutman is not only an amazing attorney, but also an amazing person. He was very professional, and very trustworthy. He filed things in a timely manner, and kept me informed every step of the way. If you want an attorney that is willing to go the extra mile, I would highly recommend Mr. Goutman. His experience and knowledge speak for them self.

Mr. Goutman did a great job and worked very hard in settling my automobile injury claim. The amount he won for me in my settlement was nearly twice as much as what I expected - I highly recommend him - he will work very hard to get the most out of your claim.

He did a good job. Could of gave alittle more information on how lawsuits worked as I this was the first I was involved in. But the results came out well.
