CMDA Attorneys Win Judgment for Ex-Detroit TigerCMDA’s attorneys are highly versatile. While a few focus on niche areas, most practice across multiple disciplines—bringing a broader perspective to the clients they serve.

Partner Kevin Campbell and associate Daniel El-Sibai of the Livonia office are strong examples. Kevin focuses on appellate work, and Daniel on civil defense, yet both also contribute to the firm’s sports law practice.

Last fall, we shared that Kevin attended a roast honoring longtime CMDA client Ike Blessitt. A standout high school athlete from Detroit/Hamtramck, Ike’s professional baseball career was cut short by injuries. For years, however, he has given back to his community—offering free hitting instruction to local youth from a batting cage behind his Detroit home.

Recognizing that many young athletes in the city cannot afford travel baseball or access to indoor training facilities during the winter, Ike set out to purchase a heated cover for his batting cage. The goal was simple: keep the cage open year-round so kids could continue to train.

The roast—featuring several Detroit Tigers legends—was held to raise funds for this effort. Unfortunately, the individual entrusted with the proceeds failed to deliver the funds to Ike following the event.

CMDA Law stepped in.

Last week, the firm secured a $22,500 judgment on Mr. Blessitt’s behalf, and collection efforts are already underway. The outcome ensures that the funds raised will serve their intended purpose: supporting access and opportunity for young athletes in Detroit.

Local sportswriter Dave Mesrey (of the Metro Times), who is covering the story, shared the following on social media:
