Biography
Tom Sinas is a trial lawyer who has spent his career serving the public and advocating for the injured. As a partner at Sinas Dramis Law Firm, he manages the firm’s downtown Grand Rapids office and is dedicated to serving his home community of West Michigan.
While Tom’s expertise is far-reaching, he focuses his practice primarily on personal injury and wrongful death litigation, auto negligence cases, and Michigan auto no-fault law. In particular, he helps ensure individuals involved in Grand Rapids car accidents are on a level playing field with the insurance companies on the other side of a case. Over the years, Tom has acquired a unique skillset working with those suffering from spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
A tenacious and compassionate attorney, Tom has acquired an outstanding reputation in West Michigan and beyond. In 2020, he was both the youngest and the only West Michigan attorney named a “Top 10 Plaintiff’s Personal Injury Lawyer” in Michigan by Leading Lawyers. In 2021, Tom was voted the “Best Personal Injury Attorney in Grand Rapids” by readers of the Grand Rapids Magazine and Grand Rapids Business Journal.
After law school, Tom practiced with a national law firm in Minneapolis, where he represented catastrophically injured individuals and their families. He was then selected to join Minnesota’s premier state prosecution office on a special assignment to prosecute complex financial crimes. In 2013, Tom and his family returned to Michigan to continue the proud tradition of Sinas Dramis Law Firm, which was founded by his grandfather in 1951.
Tom is committed to serving the West Michigan community both in and out of the courtroom. He regularly appears on Fox 17’s “Know the Law,” an informational legal segment, and each year, Tom and his staff coordinate Grand Rapids “Lids for Kids” – a free bicycle helmet fitting and giveaway.
