Our Practice Areas

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

Divorce and Family Law

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 Shelby Township 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, 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 Shelby Township 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 Shelby Township 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 Shelby Township 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.

In August of 2022, Sumner & Associates helped us with Estate Planning for my husband and I. We were impressed that they didn't blink an eye when asked by an LGBTQ couple. Important that I mention this for others looking for good representation. The team was thorough and provided good tips based on the law. Thank you Scott, Sarah, and Rori!

Will and Trust. Service was very well organized and guided us through the writing of a will and establishment of a trust. We also established durable power of attorney and advanced health care directives. The purpose and function of each device was clearly explained along with the roles and responsibilities of the different participants. Competitively and fairly priced.

Their reference materials did a good job of explaining the difference between a Will and a Trust. The process had steps that demonstrated progression toward completion of the documents and status was communicated along the way. Sara and Scott were thorough, friendly and answered all of our questions. The final documents are organized in a binder that has a very professional appearance. I highly recommend Sumner & Associates.
