Aubri N. Sheremet Attorney

Co-Founder, Hoffer & Sheremet, PLC | Michigan Medical Malpractice Trial Attorney

Aubri N. Sheremet is a founding partner of Hoffer & Sheremet, PLC, a Grand Rapids law firm representing patients and families throughout Michigan in medical malpractice, birth injury, and wrongful death litigation.

An accomplished trial attorney with experience on both sides of medical malpractice litigation, Aubri has devoted her legal career to courtroom advocacy. She has tried more than 50 cases to verdict, developing extensive experience presenting evidence, examining witnesses, and communicating complex issues to juries.

As the leader of Hoffer & Sheremet's Litigation and Trial Team, Aubri directs discovery and trial strategy, ensuring that cases are thoroughly investigated, carefully developed, and effectively presented. She combines a detailed understanding of the evidence with a practical approach to litigation, maintaining a clear focus on the legal and factual issues that will ultimately determine the outcome of a case.

A Career Built in the Courtroom

Aubri began her legal career as an assistant prosecuting attorney in Ionia County, Michigan. During her years as a prosecutor, she gained extensive trial experience, developing the ability to examine witnesses, present complicated evidence, and advocate effectively before judges and juries.

She subsequently transitioned into civil litigation, joining a prominent Michigan law firm where she defended physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers in medical malpractice lawsuits.

That experience provided Aubri with valuable insight into how healthcare defendants and their insurers investigate, defend, and evaluate medical malpractice claims.

Ultimately, Aubri decided to put her litigation experience to work for the people injured by medical negligence. In 2017, she and Stephanie Hoffer founded Hoffer & Sheremet, creating a law firm dedicated to representing patients and families rather than insurance companies and healthcare institutions.

Trial Advocacy and Litigation Strategy

Aubri's extensive courtroom experience distinguishes her approach to medical malpractice litigation.

As head of the firm's trial team, she oversees discovery, litigation preparation, and trial strategy. She recognizes that successful trial advocacy requires more than knowing the medical facts or understanding the law. It requires developing a coherent case theory, identifying the evidence that matters most, and presenting that evidence in a way jurors can understand.

Her approach emphasizes thorough preparation without losing sight of the central issues in a case. From taking depositions and evaluating expert testimony to developing trial exhibits and preparing witnesses, Aubri works to build cases that are both factually compelling and legally sound.

Aubri’s philosophy on trial preparation: "If you can’t explain your entire case to your friends and family in three sentences, then you are not ready for trial. Trial preparation is not only about being familiar with every aspect of your case but being able to explain sometimes very detailed and difficult to understand medical concepts with ease, and in such a way that everyone on the jury will be able to understand you, and your client’s injury.  We use that same philosophy when explaining the nuances of the law to our clients. Most of the time, we are the first lawyers that our clients have come into contact with. If they do not understand every aspect of their case, from beginning to end, then we are not doing our job correctly. And that is really important to us."

Notable Litigation and Trial Accomplishments

Throughout her career, Aubri has handled significant litigation involving medical negligence, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and professional liability.

Her trial experience includes more than 50 cases taken to verdict, as well as civil litigation involving complex questions of liability, causation, and damages.
