Sharbel Massoud

Sharbel grew up in Flint and Grand Blanc. He graduated from the University of Michigan – Flint where he majored in Political Science and minored in Economics. He earned his Juris Doctor from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. He is fluent in both English and Arabic. Sharbel comes from a working-class family. He spent much of his youth in and around his father's mechanic shop in the City of Flint. Sharbel knows what it looks like when someone needs help and has no one in their corner. He joined the Michigan Legal Center, Law Offices of Christopher Trainor & Associates, with a clear purpose: to advocate for people. He was drawn to personal injury and civil rights because he witnessed too many people's voices being unheard, intimidated, and not respected. That's where he chose to step in. Sharbel grew up in and around communities where he saw everyday people being mistreated, misled, intimidated, and taken advantage of by others. He realized that people needed someone to advocate and stand up for them. Sharbel knew becoming an attorney would allow him to help people and provide them with the justice they needed. To Sharbel, justice is something that varies from person to person. He recognizes that what appears fair on the surface may not feel just to the person experiencing it. Sharbel seeks to provide justice for the person who needs it, regardless of who that person is.
