“A lot of people, when they get rejected from an insurance company for a benefit that they’re entitled to, are afraid to do anything. They don’t know what they can do. We give them a voice and the ability to right the wrong and get them the benefits that they’re entitled to receive.” – Brian McKenna

Brian A. McKenna

A Career Built on Advocating for the Injured

Brian McKenna has spent his entire legal career fighting for people who have been seriously injured throughout Michigan. From the start, he has focused on helping individuals navigate difficult times and hold insurance companies and negligent parties accountable.

Before joining Sinas Dramis Law Firm, Brian was a shareholder and Board of Directors member at Sachs Waldman, one of Michigan’s most respected personal injury law firms. In 2018, he brought his years of experience to Sinas Dramis, where he now serves as a Partner and a key leader within the firm and the larger legal community.

Leading the Metro-Detroit Office

When Brian joined the Sinas Dramis team, the firm was expanding to better serve residents in Southeast Michigan. As a well-known and trusted Michigan personal injury lawyer, he took on the responsibility of leading the Metro-Detroit office, located in St. Clair Shores.

Today, Brian focuses much of his work on representing injury victims who are struggling with insurance benefit denials – helping them secure the care and compensation they are legally entitled to. His clients appreciate his knowledge, integrity, and tireless advocacy during what are often some of the most challenging times in their lives.

Brian earned his undergraduate degree from Ferris State University, graduating with high honors, and went on to receive his law degree from Wayne State University Law School in 1993.

He is licensed to practice in both Michigan and Illinois, and he is admitted to practice before:

  • The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
  • The United States District Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan

Active in the Legal Community

Brian has been a member of the Michigan Association for Justice (MAJ) since 1992 and has served on its Executive Board since 1997. He is also involved with the State Bar of Michigan Negligence Law Section, where he is a longtime member and former Council Member.

In addition to his work as a trial lawyer, Brian has contributed to the legal field as a coach for the Wayne State University Law School National Mock Trial Team, sharing his courtroom experience with the next generation of trial attorneys.

Life Outside the Office

In his free time, Brian enjoys staying active outdoors – whether he’s cycling scenic Michigan trails, spending time on the water, or lacing up his skates for a game of hockey.

Testimonials

I was hit by a drunk driver and contacted by her insurance company for settlement. Two separate people recommended I search out Brian McKenna to assist me in my case. I would not have been able to know which documents to submit or what to ask for. He and his team did a stellar job. His recommendations went beyond helping with the case to helping me in my recovery from this terrible experience. I received the maximum payout. – Jane, Google

I was involved in a terrible boating accident and was very hesitant to get an attorney involved. After meeting Brian McKenna at the Sinas Dramis Law Firm, as well as his partners, my wife and I both felt very comfortable going ahead with their team and are very happy we did. They are caring, professional, honest and will do everything they can to obtain a good settlement. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian and the Sinas Dramis Law Firm to family or friends. They made a very difficult situation as painless as possible for everyone involved including both our family and friends. Huge thanks to Brian and the entire Sinas Dramis team. – Harry, Google
