Areas of Practice
CIVIL LITIGATION – Sometimes, litigation is unavoidable. Whether your claim involves a breach of contract, collection, insurance claim, a real estate dispute, employment claim, or any other civil matter, our attorneys can advise you and serve as your court advocate for all proceedings.
OIL, GAS, LUMBER & NATURAL RESOURCES LANDOWNER RIGHTS – The minerals, timber and other natural resources on your land often has great value. However, the regulations regarding such resources are complex, and developers can take advantage of the uninformed. On behalf of landowners, we negotiate oil and gas leases, analyze standing timber contracts, and pursue relief from state agencies. We have the experience to level the playing field for landowners and help secure the true value of the resources on their property.
FAMILY LAW – Our attorneys are experienced in representing individuals in divorce, custody and child support matters. An increasing number of clients seek our counsel for collaborative divorce. Even in uncontested cases, it is important to have a knowledgeable advocate to guide and advise you. Our attorneys will protect your interests, while understanding that these matters often present difficult issues within a difficult legal system.
ESTATE AND BUSINESS SUCCESSION PLANNING – Properly structuring your estate can save taxes, pass more of your Estate to your heirs, protect interests of beneficiaries, assist when the appointment of a legal guardian is appropriate and provide for the needs of your loved ones during their lives. Succession planning can also be vital to assure a smooth transition for your business. Our attorneys are experienced in planning for the care of your family and your business after you no longer can.
BUSINESS FORMATION AND REPRESENTATION – Whether you are creating a new business, incorporating an existing one, or adding a new partner or investor, our attorneys can advise you. From partnerships to limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations, we can discuss the advantages and limitations of each and help you prepare, file and maintain all of the documents necessary for your business entity. We are committed to helping entrepreneurs navigate the legal maze that can influence the success of any business. We provide ongoing representation for all legal matters, including employee relations, leases and other contracts, statutory compliance, and collections.
MUNICIPAL AND ZONING LAW – Where local, state or federal administrative agencies hold decision-making authority in your matter, or if you are considering an application or appeal, our attorneys can advise and represent you. Whether it is your local Planning or Zoning Board, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) regarding a liquor license for your business, the Drivers License Appeal Division (DLAD) for a driver license restoration, the Supervisor of Wells (a division of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality), or the Social Security Administration, we can help to both protect your interests and to achieve your objectives before the agency making the decision.
CONSUMER & CREDIT LAW - To protect purchasers of consumer goods, including such diverse items as mortgages and automobiles, specialized sets of law exist, including the Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCPA), the federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We can assist you regarding issues or questions that you may have about your credit report or identity theft. Our attorneys are experienced in evaluating and using these laws, and can advise you if you should seek protection or relief under them.
REFERRAL – We are committed to ensuring that our clients receive the best legal services for their needs. If we determine that your needs can best be met by referral to other professionals, we will not hesitate to recommend that your matter be referred to other counsel. Our primary objective is to ensure that you receive the services best suited to your needs.
