Champion for Michigan's injured. Ali Koussan is the founder and lead trial attorney of Koussan Law, a boutique Michigan personal injury firm representing clients in life-altering injury and wrongful death cases. He is licensed in Michigan and Nevada and tries cases in both state and federal courts. His practice covers:
From the first consultation through verdict, Ali's clients get a tireless ally who treats their fight for justice as his own.
In over a decade of practice, Ali has recovered tens of millions of dollars for injured Michiganders and their families, including a $14.95M jury verdict against Pontiac General Hospital and a landmark $6 million premises liability settlement — the largest known of its kind in Michigan, secured just before the state ended the “open and obvious” doctrine. He has argued before the Michigan Supreme Court and tried cases at every stage of civil litigation.
Early in his career, Ali clerked in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan under a respected civil rights judge. That federal courtroom experience grounded his approach: deep preparation, sharp cross-examination, and closing arguments that leave nothing on the table. His passionate, razor-sharp litigation style has become the firm's signature.
Ali finds particular meaning in wrongful death work — knowing that a verdict, however imperfect, can restore some measure of dignity to families who have lost everything.
“One of the best personal injury litigators I’ve met in Michigan… I highly recommend him for you or your family’s needs if you are injured due to someone else’s negligence.”
— Brooke N. Mathis, Michigan attorney, in a 10/10 peer review on Justia (July 2026), rating Ali “Excellent” in legal knowledge, legal analysis, communication skills, and ethics and professionalism, with a specific recommendation for personal injury and no-fault litigation.
Ali later returned to academia for rigorous pre-medical coursework, and has pursued advanced study in computer science (C, C++, assembly) and cryptography. This breadth across law, finance, and medicine gives him an uncommon range when valuing damages, cross-examining medical experts, and translating complex injuries into terms a jury can act on.
Ali is admitted in both state and federal courts in Michigan and is one of the few Michigan trial attorneys also licensed in Nevada — having sat for and passed the Nevada bar exam in 2020 despite Nevada's lack of reciprocity with other states. He handles complex civil litigation and appellate matters in both jurisdictions.
Outside the courtroom, Ali brings the same discipline and curiosity to a wide range of pursuits. He is a FIDE-ranked chess player and former tournament competitor, a licensed solo skydiver, and a student pilot working toward his private pilot's license. He has traveled to nearly 40 countries — an experience that has shaped how he relates to clients from every walk of life.
Ali studies programming languages and cryptography in his spare time, drawn to the same problems that draw him to law: structured thinking, asymmetric advantage, and the discipline of finding the one move other people miss.
Whether plotting a chess endgame, jumping from 13,000 feet, or standing up to a hospital's defense team in front of a jury, the through-line is the same — preparation, focus, and the kind of steady nerve it takes to make the right call when the pressure is on. That is what his clients hire him for.
