Divorce and Child Custody
Divorce, property division and children’s issues are some of the most painful, complicated legal matters you will ever have to deal with. We care deeply about the people we serve, take time to listen to our client, understand their concerns, and develop sound legal strategies designed to achieve their objectives.
Estates and Probate

Personal Injury
Injuries can drastically change your circumstances and affect your life.

- Auto and truck collisions
- Slips, trips and falls

Estate Planning
People are sometimes reluctant to make an estate plan for themselves. We are here to guide you through the estate planning process. We will draft documents that protect your assets, avoid probate, if possible, transfer ownership to another family member if you choose, prepare your powers of attorney for medical and financial, establish a Trust and prepare your Last Will and Testament.
Corporate Formation
A corporate lawyer generally represents the corporate entity, not its shareholders, members or employees. We can help you form an entity, a corporation or a limited liability company. Michigan requires entities to hold regular business meetings, such as annual shareholder/member meetings. We can assist your business by drafting minutes of annual meetings and filing yearly updates as well as keeping your corporate record book up-to-date.
Real Estate Transactions/Commercial Transactions
We have experience with residential and commercial property. Whether you need a Warranty Deed, Quit Claim Deed, Land Contract, Easement or other document prepared, or simply have a question as to what would be the best solution for your situation, we are here to help you.
Whether you plan to buy a business or sell your business, we can help you through that process as well resulting in a smooth transition. We also handle business disputes.
Landlord/Tenant
Whether you need a lease or rental contract drawn up, or to evict a non-paying tenant, we can provide the assistance you need.
Criminal Law
It is never easy navigating the criminal process for you or a family member. We are here to protect your rights from the onset of any potential criminal matter; from civil infractions to misdemeanors and felonies, we will advocate for you. We can also help if you have been the victim of a crime.
Administrative Law
We can help you navigate driver’s license matters, liquor license transactions, professional license issues and other administrative issues.
