Our Practice Areas

We know that our neighbors in Oakland County have diverse legal needs. Our Lake Orion lawyer offers comprehensive legal services across Michigan, including, divorce and family law, estate planning, and personal injury claims.

Divorce Lawyer and Family Law Attorney

When a relationship ends, many couples cannot resolve property and child-related issues without legal help. For this reason, it’s in your best interest to consult with a Lake Orion divorce lawyer.

We assist couples with the following:

Child custody and visitation, including modification and termination of custody and support payments
Divorce proceedings
Division of marital property and debts
Domestic violence and protective orders
Mediation and alternative dispute resolution
Paternity issues
Prenuptial agreements
Spousal support issues (i.e., alimony)

While our goal is to quickly and amicably resolve family law issues, we’re always prepared to take cases to trial.

Estate Planning Attorney, Trusts, Wills, and Probate

Estate planning isn’t just for the elderly or seriously ill. If you have a family, an estate plan can help you protect your spouse, children, or other important loved ones after your death. Moreover, an estate plan can also protect your interests if you become incapacitated due to a life-threatening injury or medical condition.

Our Lake Orion estate planning attorney can help you with the following:

Administration of a loved one’s probate estate
Durable powers of attorney that help direct your healthcare, financial, and business decisions while you’re incapacitated
Legal guardianship documents protecting a minor child or disabled adult
Wills and trusts that distribute your assets

Personal Injury

When someone else’s negligence or misconduct causes serious injuries, it’s important to consult with a Lake Orion personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies frequently delay paying legitimate personal injury claims or deny them completely. Our experienced litigators can help you recover the compensation you deserve. We represent accident victims who were involved in the following:

Bicycle accidents
Car and truck accidents
Dangerous and defective products and medications (products liability)
Medical and professional malpractice
Motorcycle accidents
Nursing home neglect
Slip and falls
Wrongful death

If you have questions about a personal injury claim, do not delay in calling a Lake Orion lawyer. Michigan sets relatively short filing deadlines in these claims. If you do not file the correct paperwork before your deadline expires, you’ll lose your right to compensation.

Scott Sumner and his team have developed a thorough process to create Wills and Trusts. Using a multi-phase approach to complete each step, they made sure we had time to review and understand what we're doing. After the signing we had a nearly complete, thoughtfully organized binder that will make it so much easier to put to use when needed. It wasn't complete because they also included a list of the additional documents and next steps that we need to add and maintain to have everything in one spot for our heirs. Passing is inevitable. But Sumner and Associates have provided us peace mind by creating a document that will ease the administrative burden on our children after we're gone and helped us ensure that our assets pass quickly to our heirs and not spent unnecessarily in time or money in probate.

About Lake Orion, Michigan

City of Lake Orion, Michigan

Lake Orion ( ORR-ee-ən) is a village in the northern outskirts of Metro Detroit in Oakland County, Michigan, United States. The population was 2,973 at the 2010 census. “Lake Orion” can refer to either the village or the much larger Orion Township, of which the village is a part. Lake Orion began as a resort town and over time has incorporated elements of a bedroom community.

History

Judah Church and Moses (or Samuel) Munson were among the first settlers. Munson, who arrived in 1824, built a sawmill in 1825, and planted the first orchard. Jesse Decker arrived from upstate New York with his wife, Mary, in 1825. He was energetic and became “everything to everybody”, so that the place soon became known as “Decker’s Settlement” and the town “Canandaigua,” after Canandaigua, New York, where the settlers originated. The settlement grew into a bustling commercial center with a sawmill, tavern, post office, general store, blacksmith shop, school and cemetery. In 1828, a power dam was built uniting several small lakes and forming the mile-wide Lake Canandaigua, just west of the village.In 1830, Decker raised the first frame barn in the area, with local Indians’ help.
