Since joining Christopher Trainor & Associates in 2007, Amy J. DeRouin has dedicated her career to civil rights and personal injury law. She represents victims of workplace discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, and violations under the FMLA, ADA, Title VII, and Michigan’s civil rights statutes, with a special focus on ***** harassment, gender discrimination, and whistleblower protection.

DeRouin also handles high-stakes police misconduct cases, including excessive force, unlawful arrest, malicious prosecution, and constitutional violations, achieving victories in both state and federal courts, including the Sixth Circuit. She has secured substantial settlements and judgments against municipalities, police departments, and insurance companies—often turning “nuisance value” cases into policy-limit recoveries for clients.

Her notable results include $1.4M in an auto negligence case, $350K in a no-fault PIP case, and $300K for a dog bite injury. Recognized as a Michigan Rising Star by Super Lawyers multiple years, DeRouin credits her success to a team-driven approach and her commitment to restoring her clients’ rights, voice, and dignity.
