About

McCray Law is devoted to a single purpose: representing Michigan policyholders against insurance companies and agents. Its attorneys have over thirty years of legal experience, most of it representing people whose homes and buildings who have suffered losses due to fire, water, extreme weather, and other disasters. During their careers, they have helped turn hundreds of claim denials into millions of dollars for their clients. McCray Law represents policyholders, never insurance companies.

Attorneys

Doug McCray has practiced insurance litigation for over 24 years. Several of his victories have resulted in important opinions by Michigan courts, including:

 

  • ​McNeel v. Farm Bureau (Jury agreed that coverage exists despite Farm Bureau's "vacancy" defense); 
     

  • Johnson v. State Farm (Michigan Court of Appeals rejected State Farm's "statute of limitations" defense); and 
     

  • Smith v. State Farm (Federal court ruled that policyholder has a right to have the amount of his or her loss decided by a neutral appraisal panel, rather than by the insurance company).
     

Since 2012, he has run McCray Law Office. Unlike many firms, McCray Law Office exclusively represents policy holders, never insurance companies. In addition to his legal experience, his masters and previous career in biology/biochemistry gives him a rare advantage in understanding losses and deposing experts, especially in cases involving fire, or water damage.​​ . . .
