Know as The Child Injury Attorney, Michael Wales brings together decades of investigative experience, courtroom strategy and deep human empathy in a mission that goes far beyond legal representation. As the host of an insightful new podcast exploring the realities of child injury cases, Wales invites families into an honest conversation about responsibility, healing and the pursuit of justice.
“I spend a lot of time listening,” he says. “Understanding what happened. Understanding the impact. Educating the family on the steps ahead and how we can support them emotionally, medically and financially.” His words reflect the foundation of his practice. For Wales, serving injured children is not simply legal work. It is an act of protection anchored in experience.
Wales’ career is uniquely shaped by his past. His service as a police officer gave him hands-on investigative training, and his years as a judge taught him how juries think, what evidence truly resonates and how justice is delivered inside a courtroom. “I am very well versed in carefully documenting facts. I understand how a jury reacts to different types of evidence,” he explains. That rare combination of perspectives now empowers his boutique law firm to uncover the truth behind complex accidents, negotiate effectively with insurance companies and prepare cases ready for trial whenever necessary.
His podcast reflects that same commitment to transparency and education. The first episode takes listeners behind the scenes of child injury cases, revealing the emotional landscape parents must navigate and the extensive investigative work required to build a strong claim. Wales speaks candidly about the cases he sees most often, from schoolyard injuries to unsafe daycare environments to the alarming rise in e-bike accidents involving children. “Drivers often do not register that a child is crossing the street,” he says. “These cases must be investigated very carefully.”
He describes the meticulous process his firm follows. Accident reconstructionists analyze skid marks, lighting and speed. Medical specialists determine present and future treatment needs. Psychologists help families understand how trauma affects a child’s behavior, school performance and relationships. “We are very thorough,” he says simply. “Families deserve nothing less.”
For Wales, the work does not end at compensation. It includes closure, understanding and support for the child’s future. Structured settlements are designed to protect the child until adulthood, funding education, long-term care or a first home. “Parents find it extremely rewarding to know their child’s future is taken care of,” he explains. And throughout the entire journey, communication remains the firm’s highest priority. “I do not want a parent to ever ask, ‘What happens next?’ They should always know.”
With every episode of his podcast and every family who walks into his office, Wales reinforces one message. Injured children deserve answers. Families deserve clarity. Justice must be pursued with diligence and compassion. “I want to give families hope that there will be justice and that their child’s injuries will be properly compensated,” he says. “We are a small firm and the client comes first.”
In the world of child injury law, Michael Wales is more than an attorney. He is an advocate shaped by experience, driven by purpose and committed to helping families rebuild with dignity and strength.
