If you qualify under Michigan law, I can help you clear that conviction off of your record and give you a fresh start. --- Family Law. In a perfect world, marriages would remain intact and families would be able to resolve their disputes without having to go to court. However, the world is far from perfect. Consequently, divorce and custody battles are stressful, upsetting, and depressing for both parents and their children alike.

I can help ease these anxieties by providing peace of mind that your matter will be handled diligently and with a dedication to achieving a result that will ultimately be in the best interest of you and your children. --- Estate Planning.

In recent years, the U.S economy has been in a state of unrest. As a result, jobs which were once assumed to be safe have disappeared, home values have plummeted, and even some of the most financially conscious people have found themselves subject to crushing debt. Wage garnishments, foreclosures, and repossessions have often left families devastated. If you find yourself in this situation, I can help ease this burden by discussing options to obtain relief. Bankruptcy can give you a fresh start, but if it is not right for you, I will not hesitate to advise you on other alternatives. We are a debt relief agency.
