Our Familiarity with the Courts in Southeastern Michigan and Metropolitan Detroit …

One of the greatest advantages of hiring our firm as local counsel are the connections we bring to the process. Our attorneys belong to each of the four major Detroit metropolitan bar associations, and over the years have built many lasting relationships with those attorneys whom you might now find as your clients’ adversaries. Moreover, we typically know the opposing counsel, prosecutor, or/and judges, and can use this to our advantage in resolving your client’s matter. For these reasons, looking for a local counsel who practices in the area where your client’s action arises is particularly helpful. That said, we regularly practice in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, and Lapeer Counties, and the Federal Government’s Eastern District of Michigan.
