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.

About Shelby Township, Michigan

City of Shelby Charter Township, Michigan

Shelby Charter Township, officially the Charter Township of Shelby, is a charter township and census-designated place located in Macomb County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The township, a northern suburb of Detroit, is located roughly 15 miles (24 km) north of the city. The 2010 Census places the population at 73,804. Shelby Charter Township is one of the fastest-growing communities in Metro Detroit.

Communities

There are no incorporated villages and four unincorporated communities: Preston Corners is located at the corner of 25 Mile and Schoenherr roads at 42°41′58″N 82°59′45″W. Ira and Deborah Preston bought 400 acres (1.6 km2) of land from the United States government in 1826 and settled on it the following year, later building a sawmill and a picket fence factory. Shelby is located at Shelby and 25 Mile Roads (42°41′51″N 83°04′10″W). Shelby Village is located where Auburn and Ryan roads intersect. Housing was built in this area in the 1940s.
