Frederick W. Bleakley

Founder

The founder of Bleakley Law Offices, Frederick W. Bleakley, grew up in Grand Rapids, MI, where his father represented insurance companies in workers' compensation cases. Fred witnessed first-hand how these companies operated by saving money at the expense of injured workers and their families.


When Fred became an attorney in 1986, he broke with family tradition. He formed this law firm to stand up for the rights of injured and disabled people in Muskegon, MI, and throughout the state.


Attorney Bleakley provides aggressive, results-oriented representation in cases involving personal injury, auto accidents, Social Security Disability benefits, workers' comp, and other legal matters. To learn how we can help you, contact us for a FREE consultation today.
