Our Firm
A Black-owned wrongful death & personal injury firm in Dallas.
Families searching for a Black wrongful death lawyer in Dallas rarely get a straight answer from the internet. Here is one: Michael A. Crozier, Esq. is a Black-owned trial firm, founded and led by a Black attorney, devoted to wrongful death and serious personal injury cases — representing families in Dallas, throughout Texas, and across the country.
Representation you can see
When you hire this firm, the lawyer whose name is on the door is the lawyer on your case. Not a call center, not a rotating cast of case managers — one attorney who knows your family's story, keeps you informed at every step, and prepares your case for trial from the first day. That preparation is precisely what insurance companies price when they decide what a case is worth.
Why it matters to many families
Trust is personal, and never more so than in the weeks after a death or a life-changing injury. Many families want an advocate who understands their community, hears them without translation, and carries their case with the respect it deserves. If that is what brought you to this page, you have found what you were looking for — and if you simply want a serious Dallas trial lawyer for a serious case, you have found that too. This firm welcomes clients of every background, and every client receives the same standard: honesty about where your case stands, preparation that leaves nothing to chance, and a lawyer who treats your family like family, never like a file.
What we handle
The practice is deliberately focused: wrongful death claims, 18-wheeler and commercial truck accidents, serious car accidents, catastrophic injuries, and premises liability cases. In fatal crash and trucking cases the firm moves immediately — preserving the vehicle and electronic evidence, serving preservation demands on carriers, and working with experts — because the evidence clock runs faster than the filing clock. From the first call, we carry the weight: dealing with the insurers, helping arrange the medical care you need, and reducing liens at the end so your family keeps more of the recovery.
Dallas roots. Texas reach. National capability.
The firm's office is on North Central Expressway in Dallas, serving Dallas County — Garland, Mesquite, Plano, Irving — and families throughout Texas. When a family outside Texas needs this firm, we take the case by associating with trusted local counsel in that jurisdiction, so distance never decides who speaks for you.
Start with our plain-English guides — what families should do after a fatal crash in Texas, why 18-wheeler cases demand immediate investigation, and what to do when the insurance adjuster calls — or see the full range of practice areas.
