Raed (Ray) Abboo, Esq. Founder & Managing Attorney
Ray Abboo is a trial and appellate attorney who builds cases to win. His practice is defined by disciplined preparation, rigorous legal analysis, and a record of outcomes that matter to insurers, corporations, and self-insured entities operating under significant financial exposure. Mr. Abboo represents clients in the defense of complex negligence and catastrophic injury claims, premises liability matters, federal civil rights litigation, insurance coverage disputes, and the full range of Personal Injury Protection and provider litigation arising under the Michigan No-Fault Act. He also maintains an active mediation practice, resolving high-stakes disputes with efficiency, candor, and durable results. Results Mr. Abboo has secured dismissals or defense verdicts in more than half of the litigated matters he has handled. In 2023, he recovered $7,000,000 for a Michigan insurer in contested litigation. He has recovered millions of additional dollars for insurers in reimbursement actions, obtained decisive rulings on motions for summary disposition, and established controlling authority on contractual indemnity and risk-transfer obligations. His advocacy has shaped Michigan law: in a published decision, the Michigan Court of Appeals adopted his legal analysis and reversed the trial court in a matter concerning domicile of a minor child of separated parents who was catastrophically injured. Background Before founding Abboo & Associates PLLC, Mr. Abboo practiced for a decade at a well-regarded Midwest insurance defense firm, where he represented national carriers, corporations, and self-insured entities in high-exposure litigation. Earlier in his career, he practiced on the plaintiff side and recovered more than two million dollars in settlements within a single year. That dual perspective is operational, not academic. It allows him to anticipate plaintiff strategy, identify the pressure points opposing counsel will exploit, and neutralize them before they take hold. Mediation As a certified mediator, Mr. Abboo facilitates negotiations for attorneys, insurance professionals, corporations, and self-insured entities. His approach pairs deep legal knowledge with direct case evaluation and a practical commitment to resolutions that hold. |
