Our firm is one of the most trusted legal resources in the nation, having earned our reputation through decades of prestigious cases and complex suits. Founded in 1985, we have purposefully maintained a small practice feel in order to maintain the principles of client care and personalized attention on which we were built. At the core of our service is a dedication to integrity and honor in the legal practice. We believe that law is–and should be–a noble calling, and take to heart the obligation to uphold justice and give voice to the disenfranchised.
We are proud to boast one of the lowest turnover rates of any firm in the area, which testifies to our employees’ passion for what they do. Throughout our distinguished history, we have also been the humble recipients of numerous awards for our outstanding service, client satisfaction, and expert litigation.
We believe that everyone–regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic background–is entitled to quality legal representation. As such, we dedicate ourselves to charitable contributions and pro bono work for our community. Our firm has consistently been recognized by the State Bar of Michigan for its outstanding pro bono service to the community.
