Family Law, Divorce, Custody and Support
There is usually nothing more stressful and emotional than a family experiencing the conflict of a divorce or custody case. We are aware of how emotionally challenging these times are for our clients. We can assist you with your family matters, including filing for divorce, or assisting you with a divorce that is in progress. We can assist you with divorces that include children and those that just involve the splitting of marital property. We can also assist you with other family law needs, including modifications in child custody, parenting time and child support. We also assist individuals in family planning, including drafting prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements and other various areas in family law.
Estate Planning
We begin all estate planning with a detailed analysis of the client's history, background, needs and desires. No two people are alike--and thus no two estate plans are alike. Each estate plan is carefully drafted for the individual client and may include a Trust, Will, Power of Attorney and a Patient Advocate Designation. We generally provide our Estate Planning services at an affordable fixed rate determined by the complexity of the estate plan.
Probate
Probate is an often misunderstood process. Essentially, a probate estate is the administration of a person's property after they pass away. If an individual owns property in their individual name and passes away, a probate estate is necessary to transfer the property according to their Will (if they have one), or according to Michigan law. While most people are under the impression that probate is a "bad thing," it often is necessary and can actually be very affordable, smooth and relatively quick. We can provide representation in probate estates on an affordable hourly basis.
We can also provide assistance with other probate proceedings, including guardianships and conservatorships.
Business Law
We can provide assistance to small businesses in various areas, including contracts, collections, litigation and lawsuits, employment and other areas. Our goal is to provide affordable services to small or family-owned businesses in order to assist those businesses in their legal needs, thus allowing the business itself to run smoother. We can provide legal representation to businesses on an affordable hourly rate, but there are other fee options available as well.
Litigation, Lawsuits and Trials
Litigation is defined as a legal proceeding in court. It is basically a term that means "lawsuit." We can provide assistance to individuals and businesses in litigation matters in district court, circuit court, federal court and the Court of Appeals. This representation is usually on an affordable hourly or fixed rate basis, depending on the type of lawsuit pending or to be filed.
Drunk Driving
If you have been arrested for drunk driving, whether a first or third offense, you should have the assistance of an attorney. The fines, costs and penalties are burdensome and unbending. Having an attorney with you through this process will help you understand what penalties you may be facing. It can also help you through the entire process from arraignment, pretrial, trial and sentencing. We offer drunk driving legal representation at competitive flat rates based upon the type of offense that is being charged.
Various General Areas
We realize that individuals, families and businesses often have problems that need legal assistance but don't necessarily involve a lawsuit. We have a wide range of experience in various general legal areas, and can provide individuals, families and businesses the representation they need for these pre-lawsuit, post-lawsuit or non-lawsuit matters. We can provide this legal representation on either an affordable hourly rate or a fixed rate basis.
