About us
The firm was co-founded in 1969 by Richard Kitch and Richard F. Suhrheinrich (now a Senior Federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge), both experienced litigators, especially in malpractice and products liability cases. While many firms have grown primarily through mergers and acquisitions, the Kitch firm has experienced all of its growth to date through its focus on strong client partnerships, leadership in the practice of law, and successful business practices. The firm has grown from four attorneys in 1969 to 19 attorneys in 1980 to over 100 attorneys. Although the Kitch firm began as a medical malpractice defense firm, and continues to be recognized as one of the premier medical malpractice defense firms in the industry, it is today a full-service firm. The Kitch firm expanded to meet the other legal needs of its healthcare clients as those clients grew during the '80s and '90s, and into the new millennium. The firm successfully expanded to provide the same uniquely tailored high quality services beyond the healthcare industry. The firm now covers such diverse areas as immigration, government regulation and litigation, estate planning, labor and employment, corporate, criminal investigations and prosecutions, commercial real estate, commercial litigation, trucking, Long term care, insurance and real estate law and finance, among many others.

Greg Drutchas Congratulations to Greg Drutchas for his recognition in The Best Lawyers in America® for Health Care Law. With over 50 years of experience as an attorney, all of it with the firm and its clients, Greg began his career in medical malpractice defense, product liability and commercial litigation, and being the firm’s first lead appellate attorney. Over the last 40 years Greg’s practice evolved to focus on primarily healthcare and general business and regulatory work. As the firm’s practice leader in all of those areas, Greg continues to work extensively on medical staff, business operation issues, provider contracting, mergers and acquisitions and insurance matters for health care providers and others. For the past thirty years he has served as a neutral commercial arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association, primarily for health care and insurance disputes. Greg likes to say to young lawyers that “if you don’t think about quitting at least one day every calendar quarter, it means you’re probably not committed enough to do your best for your clients and your work”, but that he is not ready to walk away from his clients and practice he has loved the other 18,000 days. Best Lawyers in America® has recognized Greg every year since 2013. Learn more about Greg Drutchas: https://lnkd.in/gEQginfd
