We know that our neighbors in Macomb and Oakland County have diverse legal needs. Our Oakland 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 Oakland 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 Oakland 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 Oakland 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 Oakland 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.

About Oakland Charter Township, Michigan
Oakland Charter Township, Michigan
The Charter Township of Oakland is a charter township on the north Oakland County outskirts of Metro Detroit, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is colloquially referred to as “Oakland Township”. The population was 16,779 at the 2010 census.
Oakland Township is less densely populated than neighboring townships to the west, south, and east; and retains many elements of a rural, wooded residential bedroom community. Local ordinances and zoning laws are aimed at limiting commercial and industrial development while maintaining a cap on population density by way of a master plan.
Oakland Township’s northern half has its own zip code, “Oakland, Michigan, 48363”, while the southern portion of the township shares zip code 48306 with the northernmost portion of adjacent Rochester Hills. “Oakland”, “Goodison”, and “Rochester” are acceptable addresses for residents in this township.
