Conybeare Law Office was founded by Benton Harbor native Bruce Conybeare. Bruce handled a variety of legal matters since starting his practice in the 1960s. By the 1980s, the firm was the largest insurance defense firm in Southwest Michigan. In 1984, Bruce decided that specializing in plaintiff’s personal injury law would best serve the community. He was well known for his successful jury trial work in the personal injury field, as he was willing to fight insurance companies for the benefits his clients deserved. Growing up hearing Bruce’s stories of jury trial work, Bruce’s son Barry Conybeare became interested in the law. He was drawn to plaintiff’s personal injury work after losing two close friends in car accidents while he was in college – one to a drunk driver. Before he attended law school, he had the opportunity work closely with his dad as a law clerk at the firm on an important personal injury jury trial. In 1994, Barry Conybeare officially joined Conybeare Law Office as an attorney. Bruce and Barry’s work together grew Conybeare Law Office to be the largest full-service personal injury law firm in Southwest Michigan. We represent victims of automobile accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, premises liability, animal attacks, recreational accidents involving boats and ATVs, and almost any other manner in which people are hurt by the negligence of another. Bruce retired in 2005 and Barry has led the firm since. Under Barry’s leadership, Conybeare Law Office has expanded its practice areas to meet the needs of Southwest Michigan and opened a second office in Kalamazoo, Michigan. With the addition of Matthew Conklin, Anne Buckleitner, Nate Harrington, and Sasha Boersma, we practice workers compensation, Social Security and Veterans Disability, wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment at work and at school, police brutality, and wrongful convictions.
