I don't know why it only says bankruptcy and debt, he handle many other cases. He represented me in multiple cases. Mr. Zaher is an aggressive attorney and will most definitely fight for your rights. We had a civil case with him and my husband and I were very pleased with his work...we were facing a huge lawsuit and we walked away as the winners. He also took care of my nephew's criminal case and tremendously reduced the charges. Mr. Zaher also evicted one of my tenants and a squatter. I could never thank him enough. Truly the best attorney I've ever seen.

Dan was a wonderful find. I am an attorney as well, so I have an insider's kowledge of what a good attorney does and says, and I was completely comfortable and happy with Dan.
With my 20+ years background in the legal profession, I would not be giving out any recommendation unless I was 100% convinced of the value and worth of another attorney's services. Dan is that rare find within our profession of a person who does a great job AND cares about the clients. Too often, the really good lawyers become jaded or insensitive to the needs/fears of the clients; while it's the younger attorneys who care greatly about the clients but lack the experience/knowledge to provide counsel at the highest levels. Dan Rustmann provided BOTH for me and my firm in our business dispute, and I am thankful for that.
Further, in my opinion, Dan persevered in a difficult situation within the litigation and achieved results at the highest levels of my expectations. He has to legal talent to back up this sterling recommendation.

My initial lawyer got sick and had to pass my case onto McKeen associates. I was not disappointed. From day one they told me my case was a difficult one to handle and they would do their best. Michelle, the assistant was an absolute dream to work with. She was very prompt and courteous to my every inquiry. She kept me up to date as things progressed. In the end I decided to settle out of court. I would recommend this law firm.

Mr. Brown is amazing to watch in the courtroom. His passion and hard work shine through for his clients. He works hard and does his job as if his own life is on the line. He is no nonsense but does it in a way that you are led in the right direction without a bunch of theatrics. He doesn't cherry pick. He's just honest.

Patti Maceroni does not back down! She understands the law but most importantly how to balance her legal knowledge with the politics of what particular courtroom she is in. Patti possesses a perfect mix of knowledge,experience and connections. Her father being Chief Judge for years sets the bar high- she has a tradition of competency and honor to maintain and she does it well.
She is respected everywhere she litigates and that is the most important reason to consider her. I've personally witnessed Patti tearing into judges who dare to cross her with politics and hype at the legal expense of her clients. Mostly, they listen to her knowing that a bad judicial decision will bring an appeal that she can win. Patti is a listener and a good person with a heart for her clients and the expertise to ensure a just result. Because she is so busy, she needs to improve on getting back to her clients which is the minor fault that needs to be mentioned. Patti is not callous -just all business So if you need constant hand- holding hire a psycho therapist as well or know going in that she's doing her job but doesn't have time to babysit.

Ms Harris represented me in my divorce case. Ms. Harris was very professional and with a genuine personal concern for me as her client was successful in getting me a decent settlement in mediation opposed to going to court and letting a judge decide the outcome. I would recommend her services to anyone that is pursuing a fair and decent outcome. Ms. Harris is respected among her peers for her integrity and hard work on behalf of her clients.

Attorney Hordos may be young, but he is a highly qualified attorney. When he accepted my case and said he would do everything in his power to help me, he went above and beyond my expectations. When I was at risk of losing contact with my daughter for 4 months during a divorce process, he worked tirelessly to ensure that did not happen, and it didn't. I highly recommend attorney Hordos. He will provide expert advice and will work with you to the best of his ability. Don't waste time and money on anyone else. I am speaking from experience. Hire him today!

Would definitely recommend her except that she is now on the Wayne County Circuit Court. Found her to be very current on the legal issues presented by my case, wrote briefs that fully represented my position and that, thrilled to say, at times left the opposition attorney(s) at a loss. Was very reachable and made herself available to educate me on the law as well as the avenues available to me in my case. Trusted her emphatically. Was sorry to have lost her services (and her) to the court.

Ms. Jennings represents professionalism and is very knowledgeable about employment law, discrimination and representing civil right injustices.

Mr. DeVine is an excellent young attorney: bright, highly conversant in the law, thorough and efficient; he also keeps you immediately abreast at all times. We retain three different firms for our company's legal and Mr. DeVine and his firm--Butzel Long--are our go-to legal practice. They're reasonably priced given the size and scope of their firm and their work is first rate--Mr. DeVine's being prominent. Highly recommended by a small, i.e. <100 employees, company owner.

Matthew was hired by my son as his attorney for a traffic ticket that he received in a suburb of Detroit. The violation was extremely absurd and we also felt that it was racially motivated. Matthew listened to our expressed concerns and jumped in immediately to substitute for our previous attorney. His knowledge of the law and expertise litigation skill is what led the city attorney to reduce the offense, from one of the highest moving violations to the lowest possible. We never stepped foot in court. Matthew communicates extremely well and is a force to be reckoned with. It is because of his defense, preparation and communication with that city, even prior to the scheduled court date, that led to my son's win. Thank you so much Matthew.

When I first met "Buck" around '92 he introduced himself to me and the potential lady client I had brought to him (via a third party recommendation) in the following manner. " My name is Hugh Davis, I know that you are Christians by religion and I respect that. However, I am not a Christian and additionally I have represented a good number of people who you as Christians might reasonably be expected to find are people you might not have a high opinion of ( he went on to describe some of the circumstances and alleged crimes ) I have also sued Richard Nixon, defended Angela Davis, and represented the American Communist Party. If you find that knowing any of this, makes you the least bit uncomfortable with me, I certainly would respect your feeling and respect your decision not to pursue this any further."
I turned to the lady I brought to the meeting and we both in unison replied, "You are the guy we are looking for."
Thus began a great experience with a brutally honest lawyer. Buck Davis is Great. Honest. Humble. I have recommended many clients to him without reservation.

I hired Darwyn for a very difficult case involving real property. From the beginning, the odds were against us and the situation was grim as we were up against one of the largest and most corrupt banks there is-I won’t mention the name cuz I definitely don’t want to see them in court ever again.
Of course, in any court case, it comes down to the decision of a judge or a jury, but Darwyn will work harder and smarter than most other attorneys, increasing the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
Darwyn ended up getting me exactly what I wanted, despite our much less than favorable chances. And he did it ethically, without resorting to lies and other deceitful tactics that so many other lawyers typically have to use to win.
Darwyn Fair is an excellent attorney and a great guy. If you hire him and lose, you were probably going to lose no matter what.

Jason Abel was the consummate family law attorney in handling my case. He was thorough, intelligent, and did specific research in order to defend me in all aspects of my case. During an extremely trying and emotional time, Jason was a calm, well spoken voice, and he made certain I was protected to the fullest. He was well respected by the judge, who made reference to his talents as an attorney. I give him my highest recommendation.
