Since then, Mr. Viel has handled thousands of cases -- primarily in west central and northwestern Michigan.  By restricting his practice to these two areas of law, he handles in one year more of these types of cases than most attorneys would handle in a lifetime of practice.

The theory behind restricting his practice is simple:  the decision injured and disabled individuals make regarding their workers' compensation and social security disability claims may have lifelong ramifications.

With offices in Big Rapids and Traverse City, a toll free number, free consultations, and two paralegals on staff, the Viel Law Office has made it convenient to counsel with and retain the services of an experienced attorney -- at the lowest possible cost to a claimant.

Cases are handled by the Viel Law Office on a contingent basis, meaning there is NO FEE to client unless monies are recovered.  Expenses of litigations (which are the client's responsibilities) are kept to a minimum and are generally advanced by the firm.  All terms of the client/attorney relationship is contained in a written retainer agreement so the client knows exactly what the terms of the representation are.

It is the firm's goal to provide to all of its clients open and honest representation, seeking all benefits which its clients are entitled to.

In addition, if your injury/disability was caused by an automobile accident, defective product, slip and fall, etc., we can make appropriate referrals to other attorneys we network with.
