Detroit, Michigan birth injury attorney
Anne Randall is a partner at ABC Law Centers: Birth Injury Lawyers (Reiter & Walsh, P.C.). Before joining the team in 2018, Anne spent over 30 years representing healthcare institutions and professionals in medical malpractice cases. She brings to our firm a mastery of complex medical-legal matters, a deep understanding of health care entities, and an exhaustive defense background.
“I always had a lot of empathy for the patients,” says Anne, “and when the opportunity came to join Jesse, I was very excited about it. Birth trauma cases are extremely interesting–they’re very intellectually challenging, and you’re helping families and babies, which I love.”
Anne is regularly invited to lecture at seminars and conferences pertaining to medical malpractice and health care. She’s an active member of key legal associations and has received recognition by Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, dBusiness, and more.
Outside of the office, Anne loves traveling, spending time with her family, gardening, cooking, reading, and entertaining guests. She’s also an active member of the Northville, Michigan community; she regularly volunteers in service projects focusing on youth and education.
