Business Law

Business law in Michigan encompasses all the laws that determine the formation and operation of a business.  Deciding which form is best for you is what we do best.  Unlike most attorneys, I have the perspective of business ownership as well as the legal background.  I can give you perspective and advise on all aspects of business from formation to dissolution.
