• Estate, trust and probate litigation: Any issues involving estates and trusts should be handled as efficiently and effectively as possible in order to fully protect the rights of the estate holder and any estate or trust beneficiaries.

• Lottery disputes: Our attorneys believe that everyone should have a chance to pursue lottery winnings to which they might be entitled. We will work quickly to ascertain to whom lottery winnings belong, including pursuing litigation or defending against unfounded claims of ownership.
• Alternative dispute resolution: Though we are skilled and aggressive litigators and trial lawyers, our firm also understands that litigating a case in court is not always the best way in which to resolve issues. Our firm can advise clients on alternative methods of resolving litigation out of court such as arbitration and mediation.
  • Arbitration involves a private, third-party arbitrator (or panel of arbitrators) who makes a binding decision in the matter after hearing each side present its case.
  • Mediation also involves a private third party, but this neutral party works closely with each side to come to an agreement on a decision in the matter. Each side is expected to give and take in order to minimize animosity and reach a conclusion to the case
• Civil case appeals: The justice system is not always entirely just. Errors occur in both state and federal courts that may lead to a less than favorable result in your initial case. We offer full-service representation to help you pursue justice in all types of civil disputes, and we often take cases on referral from other attorneys.
  • Our appellate group has represented clients in cases before the Michigan Court of Appeals, Michigan Supreme Court, Texas Court of Appeals, Texas Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
