This is not just what we do.
It’s in our blood.
Armor Injury Law is built on a seven-generation legacy of legal service. Long before modern courtrooms and insurance companies, the Black family was practicing law with a singular purpose: advocacy, accountability, and protection of others. That tradition continues today.
A lineage of attorneys spanning centuries:
Gen. 1: James Black — Scotland Attorney
Gen 2: Elder James Black — Scotland Attorney
Gen 3: Edmund Black — Scotland Attorney
Gen 4: Eugene F. Black — Michigan Attorney General and Michigan Supreme Court Justice
Gen 5: Douglas M. Black — Michigan Attorney
Gen 6: David D. Black — Current Michigan Criminal Defense Attorney (Law Family Black)
Gen 7: Eugene D. Black — Current Michigan Criminal Defense Attorney (Black Law, PLLC)
Gen 7: Austin M. Black — Current Michigan Family Law Attorney (Law Office of Austin M. Black, PLLC)
Today, Attorney Amelia Black Zurchauer proudly carries this legacy forward as the seventh generation of Black family attorneys—bringing centuries of legal tradition into modern personal injury advocacy.
At Armor Injury Law, this heritage isn’t about titles or history alone. It’s about responsibility. The responsibility to stand between our clients and those who would minimize their harm. The responsibility to fight with integrity. And the responsibility to protect.
