I met with Elizabeth to have my will and trust drawn up. I explained to her what I wanted and she explained to me what I needed to provide. Within a couple of weeks, my documents were prepared and signed. She went through the trust step-by-step and explained it carefully. Very pleased with her and my will and trust.

Ms. Siefker worked with my wife and I to create a family trust, our wills, POA documents and memorial preferences. She is knowledgeable in these areas and provided sound advice to help us personalize our estate plans. Her explanations were clear which allowed us to put our "plan" into the documents. The process is efficient and streamlined. I expect that we will contact Ms. Siefker in the future as we modify our plans.

Our financial advisor had been urging us to get our estate planning done, and recommended attorney Gabrielle Lawrence. We are grateful for the recommendation. Gabrielle put together a very complete trust package for us. We found her to be knowledgeable, thorough, understandable, patient, and accessible. She made good points and gave good advice. It was a very easy process. It is a comfort knowing we and our family have her as a resource.

Called and did most over the phone with John Frazier. He understood the unusual circumstances of having limited ability to come into the office as I care for my disabled son. He took my minor sons misdemeanor careless driving case. He sent all forms to retain via email. Things got done quickly. He kept me informed of all dealings with the court or prosecutors at all times. We conversed mainly via email and he was very confident for the outcome of my case each step of the way. When I worried or waiverd he was professional in the manner in which to ease my concerns. I gave my complete trust and faith in him and he prevailed. I strongly recommend this firm and its team. Best part he was less than a “friend” was going to charge. Glad I made the call. Thank You John Frazier you will be my to go guy from here in our should I need a lawyer.

Mr. Fraser represented me in a child custody case in Ingram county. I had not previously been represented in family court and the results were devastating. My sons father was granted full physical custody and I was only allowed weekend and holiday visits. For eight years this went on.
I had told everybody about the situation at my son’s father‘s house and how bad it was a nobody would listen, except for Mr. Fraser.
They’re finally came a time when evidence of alcohol abuse and domestic violence from an outside source became available. And Mr. Fraser utilized that evidence to change my family’s life! After eight years of fighting, tears, lost time, and trying to tell my story, the truth was being told. We took this evidence to friend of the Court in Ingham County and Mr. Fraser was effective in presenting the evidence in a manner in which the judge was able to make a decision that was very positive for me, my son and our family.
I have recommended Mr. Fraser to many of my coworkers and friends struggling to navigate family court and FOC.
I consider Mr. Fraser a part of our extended family and we will forever be grateful.

I am a MMMP card holder with medical marijuana patient status and am licensed to grow my own medicinal marijuana plants at home. Thinking I was doing everything according to the rules, didn't prevent law enforcement from coming to the house to pay a visit. And in the process found things that they we're going to challenge....... period. Long story short, I wound up with Felony Manufacturing charges. Which if prosecuted to the full extent of the law would bring 4 years in prison with it. I knew immediately that I would need good, rather great, representation. That's when I contacted attorney John Fraser at Grewal Law in Okemos, and asked him to come on board. And thank God I did. First of all, as far as anyone in the Greater Lansing area that is an expert on Michigan Medical Marijuana Law, it's attorney Fraser for sure. So if you have a case pertaining to anything drug related, I would highly recommend your contacting him. But his expertise travels well beyond that of drug related law. And the team he works with at Grewal are also people of integrity, with a diverse array of special qualifications for really any legal need. My case looked as though it would be bound over to the circuit Court. But when he was able to present a few of our arguments to the prosecutor, she was faced with the reality that her case wasn't worth pursuing. And yes, without ever needing to even be present for my preliminary exam, the decision was made to throw out my case entirely! Judge signed the papers the following morning. And now all of this is behind me now...... for good. And for that I sincerely thank and commend Mr. Fraser.

I've had2 3rd offense drinking n driving in my past nothing to be proud of but instead to be scared of . This time I honestly only was pushing my bike hours later after it stalled but had been drinking n was arrested for drinking n driving. Joseph was honest enough to tell me if we took it to trial he would give it his all but and believes we have a 90% chance of winning but there is a 10 % chance the jurors would look at my past and convict me and I would do 5- 8 years and ask if I was to take that chance. I wasn't, I'm not . Joseph has fought and kept me from going to jail and has also fought for me to be able to battle with my cancer at home. What I'm trying to say is I wasn't just a paycheck or just another client to be pushed and over with . He fought for me as my own individual like he will do his next client. Thank you Joseph!

Brian is a lawyer like no other. I have been dragged through family law courts in multiple states and it took Brian (after 5 other lawyers failed) to help remedy my interstate child custody case.
He's brilliant, no doubt. But he will also allow input from his clients. And despite my insistence at times, he always choose and counseled on the moral high ground. The law firm is damn expensive, but Brian is a thoroughbred (although he still retains his barking-like tone, perhaps because he is a former cop.)
Seriously, though, this man could teach other lawyers and judges a thing or two about how the system SHOULD work. And odd as it may sound, his motions and responses were artful as well as efficiently written.
He does have one Achille's heel- he's a Notre Dame fb fan.

Mr. Morley stepped in at the end of a nearly 4 year long mediation with the Award in my favor. My first attorney did a great job, too, but, ultimately, I felt that the case needed fresh eyes due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. We lost our mediator in the 12th hour. My interpretation of what had been written was different than that of my first atty. I interviewed Mr. Morley and he interpreted the verbiage as I did. Therefore, Mr. Morley argued those points on my behalf and finally got the Award entered.
Mr. Morley keeps in close contact with client's like no other attorney I've worked with and doesn't nickle and dime the client to death. I appreciated this as well.
Thanks again, Brian.

I enthusiastically recommend Thomas A. Klug of Klug Law Firm to anyone searching for an ethical and hardworking attorney. Tom has been handling our legal matters since the mid-1980s. He works honestly with his clients, who are encouraged to be part of the legal process. Tom has advised us regarding property acquisitions and sales; commercial retail, and residential rentals/leases; trust, estate, and tax matters; and of particular significance, an appeal before the State of Michigan Tax Tribunal. All of this is important to us because Tom has a full and complete understanding of our business and personal situations and, therefore, is in a position to help plan and make recommendations for the future.
Tom Klug is not just our attorney, but has become a friend. We have unequivocally referred friends and colleagues to Tom because of our complete trust and confidence in him as he has wisely guided us through the years.

I have hired Greg Basor to buy and sell several properties in the past three years and can honestly tell you that you will not find a better listener and negotiator to have on your side. He is extremely thorough and thoughtful in all aspects of real estate for buyers and sellers and also the new well & septic inspection law requirements prior to any real estate sale in Mid Michigan. Best attorney I ever had highly recommended.

Always calling, emailing, extremely diligent with the work that needed to be done.

Ms. Adel helped with my case vs the UIA by writing an appeal letter with supporting evidence to the ALJ. She worked in a timely manner to do this, answered all my questions via email within one day, explained every step of the appeal process, faxed the appeal on my behalf, and even spoke with me over the phone. Ms. Adel even answered my questions after the appeal was submitted regarding the next steps for either outcome but due to the strong letter she wrote me, the ALJ rule was in our favor. I am very thankful to have had Ms. Adel helping me and I will hire her again in the future if I ever need it.

No ceiling, No glass, No limits when it comes to any family. Kristen can only see a family not what may define a family and this allowed her to reach new heights when assisting Georgia T. Newman in my custody case when even Gay rights attorneys turned me away. Kristen L. Stone is a professional and knows how the judicial system works and should work when it comes to family law. Her diligence allowed my son and I to remain a family against all odds. Her attention to detail kept me from falling into financial ruin and losing everything to my ex.

To all the staff at Grewal Law....specifically Ashlee.
About a year ago my family began a journey that I knew would be an uphill battle. Looking into my daughters eyes and seeing the tears on her face made the decision to begin that battle an no decision. My wife and I began our search of an attorney who we thought would have my daughters best interest in mind and would listen to all the facts and would be able to advise us accordingly. Being a father who didn't have much faith in the Friend of the Court system I knew we would have a lot of tough decisions ahead of us. We interviewed another attorney who had advertised themselves as a member of the ADAM (American Divorce Association for Men) and would fight for fathers rights. From the start of this initial consultation my wife and I felt he was not listening to what we were saying and told us we were crazy for trying to obtain custody of a minor child who was already living with her mom. We had pleaded and tried to get him to understand it wasn't us trying to get custody. It was our daughter indicating she did not want to live with her mother and stepfather any longer for a multitude of reasons. It was very disappointing as I was hoping that with this ADAM advertisement they would have been more on my side so to speak. We repeatedly indicated to him that we knew we had to try as our daughter was hurting. He continued to tell us that we didn't really stand a chance but if we really wanted to pursue it that he would represent us. Not the answers or attitude we were looking for. So we moved on to our next firm and were immediately struck by what we found.
Ashlee Lynn sat down with us and immediately we felt that she was what we were looking for. She was honest about the challenges that we would be facing with the Court, Judge and opposing counsel. While we were discussing our case at one point I looked at Ashley and asked her this one question, " will you fight for our daughter"? She without hesitation said "absolutely". So my wife and I left her office that day and sat in the parking lot discussing our options and made the decision very quickly that yes Ashlee was the type of attorney that we were looking for.
In the months ahead we went through several ups and downs in our case but always Ashlee and the staff were honest and professional and kept us informed of what we needed to do. At one point we had a meeting with Ashlee and Mick Grewal so that we all could discuss how the case was proceeding. I will never forget but Mick and Ashlee turned to my wife and I and said, "this is what we are going to do for (daughters name)". My wife and I almost cried. My faith with the Court came down to Ashlee and our case preparation, documentation and the facts. We thought , wow, that's how it should be. Not about who has the best or highest paid attorney but about the facts.
After many many phone calls, emails, court hearings and what seemed like an eternity our daughter got the decision she (and we) were looking for. Through her guidance Ashlee was able to walk us through a very difficult 9 months. I am very glad we made the decision not to just buy into some advertisement. As it turned out the opposing counsel was working at that other firm we initially interviewed.
I am generally not a fan of writing or reading testimonials but my wife and I felt that everyone should know the professional job that Ashlee did. Maybe more importantly is the type of person that she is and was willing to be more than just counsel.
Thank you Ashlee for all your hard work on our daughters behalf, you have changed a life.

In an industry rampant with tightrope walkers--walking the line between morals and strategy--this attorney seems to be able to get the job done while exuding high levels of ethics and honesty. Mr. Cervenak will only continue to blossom in this industry as he builds a solid repeat business and continues to expand his penchant for serving the public in various positions such as East Lansing's Planning Commission and the Board of the East Lansing Library. They don't get any better.

Just rude. Cut me off thinking he knew the answer to my question. Of course my case was with his predecessor so he did not want to be bothered. I was just looking for a copy or how to obtain one of my case with Scott, but he never even let me finish. Now I am being garnished for something I filed bankruptcy on in 2014. I kept the paperwork for nine years and right after I threw it away, thinking I was in the clear i got agarnishment for 65
