🏆 Recognizing a leader who does more for West Michigan.

Sinas Dramis is proud to share that Grand Rapids partner Tom Sinas has been named a 2026 Leader in the Law by Michigan Lawyers Weekly!

For more than two decades, Tom has dedicated his career to advocating for people and families affected by serious injuries. But his impact extends far beyond the courtroom - from educating the public about Michigan law to championing bicycle safety through our Lids for Kids program, which has provided more than 5,000 local children with properly fitted helmets.

This recognition reflects what leadership means to us: standing up for others, sharing knowledge, and making a lasting difference in our communities.
