Not our area? We will still point you the right way.

A couple of matters fall outside our focus. When they come up, we connect you with a Michigan attorney we trust.

Drunk Driving & OWI

We do not handle OWI or drunk-driving defense. If you are facing a charge, we will refer you to a trusted Michigan defense attorney.

Personal Injury

We do not litigate injury claims. If you were hurt in an accident, we will connect you with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
