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.

The company I work for have a list of lawyers that they referred employees to. After researching and reading reviews we decided to go with Scott from Sumner and Associate. After working with Scott, I now understand why he has so many good reviews. Scott was knowledgeable and was so great at explaining all the law nuances that are very hard to understand for the general public. He guided my husband and I throughout the whole estate planning process and gave us the peace of mind that we needed. I cannot recommend him enough to my friends and family.

I recently used Sumner and Associates to create a living trust. The process was very organized and logical. The accompanying the trust documents in explaining (or reminding) me how to put my assets into the trust. It is very comforting now that I have completed my tasks that I have taken care of this for my children. Thanks again Scott for a pleasant and rewarding experience.

This office provides a comprehensive "system" for Estate Planning (the service we use). Not just prepare us with basic knowledge about the topic before we meet personally but also allow us to think through key components/element requrred prior to the meet, Scott really looking into what our need are (not just provide us a can package) and guided us to reach our goal with minimum effort on our side. We walk out thier office not just feel confidently we have a good plan in hands but also additional things/tips worth to consider (provided by Scott) beyond Estate Planning. Thank you, Scott and Sarah!!! Great service you provided to us!!!
