Southfield, Mich.---August 12, 2024---Personal injury and civil rights law firm Moss & Colella, P.C. is pleased to announce that founding partners David M. Moss and A. Vince Colella, and senior appellate counsel Matthew C. McCann have been named 2024 Michigan Super Lawyers. Evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, Super Lawyers makes its selections annually, designating only 5% of attorneys in the state with this honor. All three attorneys devote 100% of their practice to litigation.
Recognized as a Michigan Super Lawyer for the past 17 years, David M. Moss was selected in the category of Personal Injury General: Plaintiff. He has spent his 40-year legal career entirely dedicated to his clients in personal injury law—representing victims and their families in various injury cases against insurance companies, national corporations, hospitals, municipalities, and individual defendants. Known for his courtroom and advocacy skills, Moss has successfully argued at the appellate level both before the Court of Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court. Also highly respected and regarded as a skilled negotiator, he is sought after by both plaintiff and defense attorneys seeking to retain outside counsel to advocate their cases.
Also honored in the Personal Injury General: Plaintiff category, A. Vince Colella marks his 14th consecutive year as a Michigan Super Lawyer. His trial experience includes automobile negligence, police brutality and misconduct, premises liability, trucking accidents, insurance disputes, medical malpractice, sexual harassment, sexual assault, discrimination, and wrongful death. In recent years, he has gained a reputation for his trailblazing litigation efforts in government liability, recreational accidents and civil rights cases. Colella is respected by lawyers and judges as an aggressive, skillful and powerful trial lawyer, and known as a compassionate and relentless advocate by his clients. His insights are frequently sought by local and national media outlets.
After relocating from New York in 2023, Matthew C. McCann joined Moss & Colella as an experienced litigator in civil rights, special education, negligence matters, environmental torts, and business disputes. Although making his second appearance on the Michigan Super Lawyers list in the category of Schools and Education, McCann likewise practices in the areas of civil rights and personal injury, in addition to appellate law. He has represented individual and institutional members of the financial industry in criminal and regulatory matters, as well as in employment-related negotiations and lawsuits. McCann has also built a legal niche representing the families of students with autism and other special needs to help them navigate the educational system and advocate for a free, appropriate public education and related student services. Before Michigan Super Lawyers, McCann was recognized by New York Super Lawyers as a “Rising Star” in both Criminal Defense: White Collar from 2015–2017 and in Employment Law in 2018, and a New York Super Lawyer in Business Litigation in 2019 as well as in Education Law in 2020.
