Michael David Bell

"I practice law because I was raised to treat people fairly and with compassion and to expose injustice. Being a trial lawyer provides me the opportunity to do just that. I believe that trial lawyers provide comfort to the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. In this era of pro business/anti consumer sentiment, where profit is king to the detriment of the common good, I gain great satisfaction in providing my clients some measure of comfort, often in their greatest time of need." Mike has been a practicing plaintiff attorney since 1999 and an associate with GTB&S since 2007. His entire career has been committed to protecting the rights of those injured through no fault of their own. Mike concentrates his practice in the areas of car wrecks, trucking accidents, medical negligence, wrongful death, birth injuries, defective products, nursing home abuse & neglect, dog bites, construction accidents and slip & falls. But he also has a strong commitment to protecting those who have earned our protection – patients in nursing homes who have been abused or neglected.
