Had My Best Interest In Mind
“I was recently represented by Joseph and it was a great experience. I had my reservations about working with lawyers due to fears of crazy cost or just overall lack of care. However, I was greatly surprised. He made the process very simple, he was very personable, honest and I felt that he had my best interest in mind. I would recommend anyone to work with Joseph and will surely do so if ever needed in the future.”

Represented EMU Faculty
“Joseph represented the EMU faculty in its 2022 contract negotiations. His knowledge of the law and skillful tactical and strategic decisions were indispensable in our fight. He worked with us, empowering us to make our demands heard in the negotiating room and beyond. The resulting contract was the best EMU faculty secured in more than a decade.
Adam Taub also worked with us, albeit only on specific issues. His insights and arguments contributed to our successes as well, particularly on FMLA-related provisions.
I cannot recommend Croson, Taub and Michaels highly enough. I fully expect we will ask for their representation in our next contract negotiation.”

He Actually Heard Me

Mr. Michaels turned a unpleasant situation into a positive experience which allowed me to move forward. I’m extremely grateful!”

Best Advocate We Could Have Asked For

Their Priority Was Me
“I made the right decision in choosing this firm and its team of lawyers. When I could not find anyone to help us, including the EEOC, Teri and Charlotte took on my case. They introduced and educated us, my husband and I, in the steps, levels, and process of going to court and taking on a Goliath. There were times when a strong personality and honest clarity was needed, but they were also understanding, compassionate and comforting when I felt the pressure and stress of fighting for what we all believe was a dishonest action taken against me, an individual with a disability who truly enjoyed performing their job. They made sure to involve me in everything involving my case, they let me know what my options and what may be best for me without trying to influence or persuade me into a decision I wasn’t comfortable with. Their priority was me, their client, not what the payoff could be. In my opinion, we beat Goliath because, even though money was never the issue, the settlement we agreed upon hit them where it hurts the most, their pocketbooks and that they now have a history of a wrongful discrimination action. Thank you, Charlotte and Teri!”

Stood His Ground
“I have had the great pleasure to work with Croson, Taub, and Michaels, PLLC. Especially with Joseph Michaels. If I was able to give more than 5 stars, I would. Mr. Michaels has worked very hard for me to obtain my settlement. He was honest, straightforward and there were no surprises down the road. The firm work non-stop to keep the process moving with difficulties from the opposition. They were also very understanding and caring, knowing this was an emotional situation for me. But what sold me is that Joseph Michaels stood his ground and didn’t allow us to be pushed around. Something the opposition was not use to. If I ever need representation again, I will always turn to Croson, Taub, and Michaels.”

A Bulldog in the Courtroom
“I was represented by Joseph Michaels in a lawsuit against the State of Michigan after they retaliated against me for my First Amendment rights. Joe litigated the case aggressively. The State tried to dismiss the case twice, but Joe beat them in Court both times. Ultimately, I settled the case for a six-figure amount, which I was very pleased with. I would recommend Joe to anyone whose rights have been violated at work. Joe is responsive, knowledgeable, and most importantly, a bulldog in the Courtroom.”

Extremely Professional and Helpful
“Mr. Taub was extremely professional and helpful. Even though there was no chance that he would earn a large sum of money from my case, he still treated it very seriously and invested a significant amount of time into researching the matter and advising me. He made me feel that he cared about me receiving justice, and worked diligently to that end. I strongly recommend calling Mr. Taub for any legal matter he is qualified to handle.”

These Guys Are Fighters!
“I can’t express enough, my gratitude and good fortune to have found and then be represented by Croson, Taub and Michaels in an FMLA lawsuit against my former employer, when other, larger firms refused to take my case. Adam and Charlotte were steadfast in their belief in me and my case and ultimately prevailed against my former employer and their high powered law firm at summary judgment. I am extremely pleased with their level of service, communication, counseling, and feedback. I recommend them highly, especially for employment related matters such as mine. To paraphrase an old saying “it’s not the size of the firm in the fight that matters, but rather the size of the fight in the firm.” These guys are fighters!”
