Attorney Jenifer Measel has been licensed to practice since March 17, 2011. Ms. Measel has specialized in the area of Michigan Automobile No-Fault law and personal injury law since beginning a clerkship at Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. in the beginning of 2007. During her tenure at Buckfire & Buckfire, she worked as the lead law clerk/research paralegal in the case of Muci v. State Farm, 478 Mich 178 (2007) which shaped the Court’s discretion to place limitations on Defense Medical Examinations.

Immediately after becoming licensed to practice, Ms. Measel sat second chair in her first trial. That case, Grange v. Bozung, unpublished per curiam decision of the Michigan Court of Appeals, Docket No. 304557, Decided June 3, 2013, set precedent establishing a new standard for exceptions to the parked vehicle exclusion in the No-Fault Act.

More recently, and in a novel set of circumstances, Ms. Measel also filed her own lawsuit arising out of injuries she sustained in a motor vehicle accident. The case involved a highly technical statutory interpretation of the permissible scope of chiropractic medicine and was ultimately published, Measel v. Auto Club, for publication per curiam decision of the Michigan Court of Appeals, Docket No. 324261, Decided February 9, 2016. During her tenure at the Farmington Hills law firm of Haas & Goldstein, P.C., Ms.

Measel successfully tried several personal injury and Michigan No-Fault cases to verdict in the Wayne County Circuit Court while managing a busy docket of hundreds cases comprised primarily, and oft times exclusively, of Michigan No- Fault cases. A large portion of Ms. Measel’s docket consisted of Michigan No- Fault cases filed by medical providers and she has conducted years of specialized research into the insurance industry’s reliance on third party bill review companies to determine the reasonable and customary nature of medical billing in the State of Michigan.

Ms. Measel has also handled difficult appeals regarding taxable costs, the awarding of penalty No-Fault attorney fees, and third party threshold issues post McCormick v. Carrier, 487 Mich 180 (2010) including McGhee v. State Farm, unpublished per curiam decision of the Michigan Court of Appeals, Docket No. 311976, Decided March 13, 2014.

Currently, Ms. Measel is a solo practitioner at her law firm in Leonard. She continues to specialize in personal injury matters and has also added business and commercial litigation, alternative dispute resolution and mediation to her areas of practice. Ms. Measel also maintains an ongoing life coach practice assisting individuals through personal or career challenges to achieve their ultimate goals.

Ms. Measel is an active member of several professional organizations such as the Michigan Associate for Justice and the American Bar Association, and regularly attends continuing legal education seminars to keep abreast of recent developments in her practice areas. Ms. Measel is also a regular speaker at such events.

Ms. Measel maintains a presence in her community both civically and professionally and is held by her colleagues in high esteem. She provides pro bono assistance to several charitable organizations that advocate for animal welfare groups including Puppy Mill Awareness of Southeast Michigan. Most recently, Ms. Measel was lead counsel in a case involving over thirty (30) plaintiffs filed in Macomb County Circuit Court regarding the sale of sick and dying animals being sold at the Gibralter Trade Center in Macomb County. The case was resolved between the parties and the Defendants’ lease was not renewed at the Trade Center. The owner of the store attempted to open a second pet store, “Little Dogz”, a few miles away. A second round of litigation closed the store for good. Ms. Measel also represented twenty-seven (27) plaintiffs in actions pending in the Oakland County Circuit Court against the national pet store chain Petland and travels to Lansing regularly to oppose legislation aimed at protecting puppy mills.
