Sara helped our family successfully navigate a difficult and divisive time at the end of my mother’s life. She is a consummate professional with a breadth of experience (I believe she’s seen it all!), knowledge, and understanding. Sara ensured that mom’s wishes were respected and when mom developed dementia, skillfully shielded her from a relative who was seeking to take advantage. Sara is clear and direct but, at the same time, kind and compassionate. Sara’s knowledge of the law and her caring approach set her apart. I absolutely recommend her without reservation.

Since my father had not left a will when he passed, what little I knew about estates was that I would need help with my father's. I contacted Sara by phone and we spoke briefly and set an appointment to speak in person. Sara was not the first attorney I spoke with but the first to interview with me. At the interview I explained why I needed her help, I also showed my limited knowledge of what was before me. By the end of the interview Sara agreed to help me through the probate process. In the following months Sara worked on my behalf with the court and advised me what was expected of me as the administer of the estate. Through the whole process there were times I felt overwhelmed with the "business" of settling his estate and sometimes became quite emotional over my personal loss. But, with kind words and a firm direction Sara kept me on track and focused. I guess that's why attorneys are called counselors. Finally, with Sara's continued support and guidance, things were at an end and the estate was dissolved. There are things that happen in life that happen to other people and you think, that's too bad. But when one of those things happens to you you think, how will I get through this. I don't know how things would have turned out with someone other than Sara, I don't need to think about it. Sara was the best possible attorney for me to have helping me with her hard work, her knowledge and experience and her empathy. I plan on having Sara help with my estate planning since having experienced this ordeal once, I do not want to leave something like this to my loved ones.

Top marks! Sara has been my attorney for the past 24 years and I am forever grateful to the person who recommended her when I was first in need. Always on top of things, always ready with advice or direct action on my behalf. Plus, she is funny, unflappable, gracious and generous in spirit. She's my attorney but also my friend.

Gary has been a tremendous help to our investment group in the LLC setup and structure. He has also been an used as an advisor in our Public Accounting Firm and assisted us in Partnership Tax Law/Compliance/Tax Return preparation. He has a very strong skill set relative to Partnership/LLC Taxation in planning and structure. Gary has the ability to to apply the Tax Law to practice/application and not just theory, this is not common for many attorneys we have worked with.

I've worked with many attorneys during multiple business and real estate dealings with other companies, and I've ALWAYS been glad Gary Schwarcz was on MY side. I've never seen a better business and real estate negotiator. He is tough when necessary, and sincerely sensitive when that is required to get the job done. I've never seen another attorney who knows the law better than Gary, regardless of the firm or client they represent. If a matter is outside of his area of expertise, he VERY quickly puts you in touch with other top resources. Expert indeed! He is extremely professional, extremely knowledgeable, very personable, highly commendable and highly recommendable.

Mr. Schwarcz was extremely helpful to my wife and I in setting up a family trust. We were not at all familiar with the process and he spent the time to patiently walk us through all the decisions that we needed to make and the process to move forward. He took care of all of the details and made the process as smooth as possible.

I came to Elizabeth 3 years ago with a pile of paperwork, a lot of stories and a drug addict mother of my son.
After looking through my very unorganized evidence of what’s been going on for a few years, she explained to me that I have a case. She said with honesty that this is a very “different” case considering the drugs, alcohol, mental instability, etc and being able to prove all of this.
She admitted that this kind of case is more rare than others but she would study all areas of everything going on in my case and represent me to the best of her ability.
Now fast forward 3 years, tons of court dates in front of our referee and judge, a 2 day trial and even more court dates in front of our judge, post trial. I now have full custody of my son. He is out of harms way and is the happiest he’s ever been.
Elizabeth went above and beyond. She accepted all my calls, she called me regarding issues and has fully been just as involved in every aspect of this case as I have been (which is ALOT). She has completly took it upon herself to further her education regarding the very “different” aspects of my case such as drugs, how the mom is beating drug tests while still being high, different affects from different drugs and alcohol, getting medical records showing the mental instability and much much more. NOT TO MENTION, I AM A DAD. We all know courts can be a little biased towards fathers.
Thanks to Elizabeth Silverman, my son is safe and happy. It’s been a extremely long road but Elizabeth has been here for me every step of the way. Not only as my lawyer but as my advisor and even sometimes my therapist. All while seeming like a good friend.
I would also like to add, Elizabeth only hires the best Paralegals there is in the state of Michigan. I could not write this post without saying how great they all are but especially Gina. Gina has been here for me for so much and was always just a call away to talk me through my troubles and help with anything I needed.
If you want a great lawyer, with a equally great team behind her, to fight for you, Elizabeth Silverman is number one. I’ll stand by that until the day I die.
Respectfully submitted,
A very well represented father

Dear Elizabeth,
It was my pleasure to have you as my lawyer and my counselor during my divorce trial. Having some ideas that divorce is very painful procedure, yet I could not even imagine that a person whom I considered my best friend and the most closed person (my ex-wife) turned into the bitterest enemy.
Your professionalism, your excellent knowledge of judicial system helped me tremendously during the divorce trial. What impressed me, that you pay your attention to big issues, as well as to little or even tiny problems. It is your big role in Macomb County Court’s decision to award me not only with joint legal custody, but also with joint physical custody. (Later I found out that it is not often for men in Michigan to be awarded with joint physical custody.)
Based on my experience, I can advise to person who is going to get divorce, try to avoid it. If there is no way to avoid divorce, then talk to your spouse, try to solve problem peacefully.
But if it doesn’t work, I really can recommend person, who is facing divorce, use service of my lawyer Elizabeth Silverman. Elizabeth will do her best to get the very satisfactory (at least) results for her client.
I really appreciate your huge help to me during the divorce trial and after divorce was finalized.
Respectfully,
Felix.

Elizabeth Silverman is my attorney for longer than ten years. Instead of boasting empty promises, she advocates for honesty and fairness; both hard to argue against. In court, she is magnificent. Elizabeth is determined to win your case by working with the judge and his court. Judges appreciate, that Elizabeth offers the root cause of her case to the court in simple but very effective terms, which saves time. She is the attorney you really want on your side. Elizabeth is very intelligent, caring and professional on every level. In particular, she feels the greatest pain and compassion for the real victims of every divorce, our children. She offers counseling for them as part of the divorce. Her rates are fair, but Elizabeth and Sandy deliver much more bang for your buck than most attorneys who charge the same. You can tell, I am very satisfied and I know you will be too. Elizabeth Silverman is a great attorney and her law firm has never let me down.

Dan Serlin was recommended to us by another attorney friend, and we are so glad we chose him. He is trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable about estate planning, particularly in supporting my parents during the later stages of their lives. Dan went above and beyond to ensure we understood and drafted the best terms for our family’s trust, and he was responsive throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Dan for his expertise, responsiveness, and empathetic nature!

Proper estate planning requires expert advice from an attorney who understands more than just the law. The right attorney will also understand finance, business and human nature. Beyond all this, the right attorney must also have integrity and compassion. When my family needed estate planning advice we searched high and low for an attorney who meets these high standards. We found that attorney in Dan Serlin. We have been and remain very grateful for his sage counsel and advice. I recommend Dan without hesitation or qualification.

While I've only worked with Nicholas Kovach at Shifman & Carlson, P.C, I can say that I would recommend Shifman & Carlson to anyone looking for legal services. Nick was professional, took the time (via phone and email) to understand my unique business needs, and created a sound contract that I am proud to utilize in my business engagements. Staff is friendly and prices are affordable.

I had the unfortunate experience of being involved in an emotional lawsuit which lasted over 4 years. When I needed a probate lawyer, another of my lawyers recommended Shaheen Imami. Shaheen was unbelievably sympathetic, understanding, professional and informative from the beginning to the end. He is also very much at the top of his game and always well prepared for court. He knows his cases to cite and takes great pains to make himself heard before the court, while still maintaining his professional, respectful and honorable demeanor. He is a great judge of character, has a quick retort which is always right on the money, and he is passionate about his work and it shows! Whenever I called him, if he didn't answer, he immediately returned my calls and NEVER left me hanging. He is honest and forthright and always gave us his best. I would recommend him to anyone without a second thought. I definitely felt well taken care of with Shaheen on my side!

I recently had a phone consultation with Ray, and while I typically treat BAR members like I treat Federal Reserve Notes—acknowledge their existence but don’t put too much faith in them—I have to admit, this one didn't immediately trigger my "fraudulent adhesion contract" radar. A rare feat, indeed.
To my surprise, Ray was knowledgeable, professional, and didn't try to gaslight me into believing I’m just another helpless soul lost in the maritime fog of presumed liability. He actually listened, provided solid insights, and—brace yourself—spoke in a way that didn’t require me to decode legalese like I’m deciphering an IRS tax form while blindfolded.
Now, am I ready to swear an oath of allegiance to the BAR? Absolutely not! But did this consultation help ease my situation and clarify some key points? Yes. He may not have issued me a Letter of Marque, but at least he didn’t try to drag me back onto the pirate ship.
For those navigating the choppy waters of the legal system while trying to remain in the private, this attorney might just be a safe port… or at least a dry dock that doesn’t come with an automatic lien.
Would I recommend them? Let’s just say, if you ever find yourself in a legal pickle and don’t have time to hit them with an affidavit first, they might be worth a call. Just make sure you’re not unwittingly entering into a contract—because, as we know, silence can sometimes be construed as consent.
--
Sincerely, but not legally binding, nor to be misconstrued as consent to any jurisdiction outside my own.
Operating strictly on the land, unencumbered by fraudulent adhesion contracts, declining all offers of joinder (unless they come with a hefty payout, a zero-liability clause, and a notarized apology from the BAR).
Refusing to board any Pirate Ship, lest I be mistaken for lost cargo or an involuntary surety in yet another maritime scheme.
Navigating only by the true law of the land—Common Law—where my word holds more weight than a Federal Reserve Note post-1933.
With all due respect (which, as we know, is contractually undefined, thus measured solely by my own good grace),
Unincorporated, Unencumbered, and Unbothered—Keeper of My Own Seal and Governor of My Own Affairs.
In honor of the Living Man/Woman, free from legalese, BAR sorcery, and admiralty entrapments—
May your motions be granted, your contracts be voidable, and your standing be always Sui Juris.
May your notices be unrebutted, your affidavits unchallenged, and your fee schedules enforced at the highest commercial rate.
May every attempt at entrapment be met with a swift and merciless estoppel, and may all claims against you be dismissed with prejudice.
Signed in good faith, but never in commerce,
By My Own Hand and Authority, Standing as the Chief Executor, Attorney-in-Fact Over the ALL CAPS Estate, Duly Noticed and Recorded, Perpetually Out of Reach of Any Fraudulent Presumptions.
Govern yourself accordingly.

I was upside down on my home and didn't know what to do. I was referred by a friend who had worked with Tony and highly recommended him as a real estate attorney. I met with Tony and he listened to my problem and gave me some alternatives that would save my home and save me money. I remember him telling me that his motto is "getting the client to the desired outcome with the least amount of cost". Boy he sure worked that motto for me!!! He doesn't charge for phone calls or e-mails. He only charges when he does work for me. Because of that I'm never afraid to call him with a question. This guy is the real deal and a wealth of real estate knowledge. I would recommend him.

Mr. Kohn is about as good as it gets--particularly for a small, i.e. <50 employees, company in need of contract, estate or tax work. We've been a client of Mr. Kohn's for over 20 years and he's our go-to guy in a medical practice that is large and active and in need of a watchdog for their constant and growing legal work. He's fast, efficient, thorough and very reasonable. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Andrea Hamm, and I must say, her professionalism and dedication to her clients are truly exemplary. Andrea specializes in Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability Law, and her expertise in these areas made all the difference in my case.
From the moment I hired Andrea, her commitment to my case was evident. She took the time to understand the intricacies of my situation, explaining every step of the process in a way that was easy to grasp. Her office, which includes the delightful Carrie, is staffed with individuals who are not only professional but also genuinely caring and honest.
Andrea's approach is not just about legal representation; it's about advocating for her clients' rights with a deep sense of empathy and understanding. She has a family history of standing up for people, and this legacy shines through in her work. Her strategic thinking and thorough preparation were key in navigating the complexities of workers' compensation, ensuring that I felt supported and informed throughout the legal proceedings.
Her knowledge of medical evidence and how to leverage it effectively was crucial in my case's success. I felt fortunate to have found her; her guidance was invaluable, especially when facing a system that can often feel overwhelming and intimidating.
I highly recommend Andrea Hamm to anyone in need of a social security disability attorney. Her track record, her compassionate approach, and her unwavering dedication make her one of the best in the field. Thank you, Andrea, for your outstanding service and for truly making a difference in my life.

My family and I recently lost our eldest sister. There were a lot of things that we needed to understand prior to making any decisions.
Mr Head was thorough in looking over all paperwork meticulously and giving clear and concise explanations of issues that our family needed to understand going forward.
I can honestly say that once we understood, our decision moving forward was easy. My family and I cannot express enough gratitude for Mr. Head for taking the time to assist us.
On behalf of myself and my brother and sister, I would highly recommend Mr. Heads knowledge for anyone having issues.

Though VERY late in offering this endorsement, I want to share that he was a consummate professional, was highly knowledgeable, kind, empathetic, and had the insight to recognize what might need the assistance of other expertise outside of his wheelhouse. I found his character and engagement to be of the highest order and I can't thank him or highly recommend him enough. Abet late, I highly recommend and support Mr. Shawn Head for any of your needs for relevant legal expertise.

He is just a wonderful amazing attorney you can have for custody and divorce cases. Very skillful and clever , he did save my son and our life . He is always there for us whenever I need him even through difficult times he makes sure he is available. I can’t thank him enough for working so hard to fight for me and my boys as our life is now much better than before. Mr. Moss is not from those attorneys who see you as just a case that pays money , he has a huge human side where he makes sure you are ok and offers all kinds of help to get you through all the divorce and custody hassle. I really owe him a lot , he is not just my lawyer but he is one of the most amazing people I have ever met.THANK YOU!

I left a review on Google the day that this happened but I seen the Mr.Weiner was also on this page too so I felt like that same review should also be left here.
I'm not a client but I called to get some information about an issue I was having and potentially become a client but instead he literally got loud with me on the phone and talked to me like I was a child! I was shocked!!! Then proceeds to tell me, in a rude aggressive tone, that he costs too much to be dealing with something like that. I really don't know why he had to be so mean. After I got off the phone with him, I talked to another attorney who was willing to give me good advice without sounding judgmental and rude. If you're looking for someone to actually help you, he's not the one. I feel bad for anyone who actually decides to work with him.

Top Questions to Ask an Estate Planning Lawyer
Before hiring an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your needs. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with estate planning?
Ensure the lawyer has substantial experience drafting wills, creating trusts, and handling other estate planning services. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or by the hour and ask for a detailed estimate of costs. -
What strategies do you recommend for my estate?
A good lawyer should be able to explain the best strategies for minimizing taxes, avoiding probate, and ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes. -
How often should I update my estate plan?
Ask how frequently you should revisit your estate plan, especially if your financial situation or family dynamics change. -
Do you offer ongoing support or updates?
Some lawyers provide periodic reviews or updates to ensure your estate plan stays current with changes in your circumstances or the law. -
How will you help my beneficiaries if something happens to me?
Ensure the lawyer is willing to guide your heirs through the estate administration process or help manage your trust after you’re gone.
How to Check the Credibility of an Estate Planning Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible estate planning lawyer, follow these steps:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for estate planning certifications: Some lawyers are certified as estate planning specialists, which indicates they have extensive knowledge in this area of law.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews on sites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and client satisfaction.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from previous clients who can speak to their expertise and client service.
- Check for membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) or the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) often have a strong reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- List of assets and liabilities: Provide a detailed inventory of your assets, including real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, and personal property, as well as any debts you may have.
- List of beneficiaries: Be ready to discuss who you want to receive your assets and in what proportions. This includes naming guardians for minor children if applicable.
- Existing estate documents: Bring copies of any existing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, or other relevant estate planning documents.
- Questions about your estate goals: Write down your goals, such as avoiding probate, reducing taxes, or setting up charitable donations, so your lawyer can tailor a plan to meet your needs.
- Information on medical and financial decision-makers: Be prepared to discuss who you want to appoint for healthcare and financial decisions if you become incapacitated.
By being well-prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and begin building a comprehensive estate plan that meets your needs and protects your loved ones.
