Expert Witness

I have had the pleasure of knowing Gary Strauss for nearly 20 years. As an expert witness I have worked both for and against Mr. Strauss . He is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced eminent domain lawyers in Michigan, and has handled dozens of cases involving airports. Mr. Strauss is a h...ard working trial lawyer that does not wilt in a courtroom. Mr. Strauss has vast knowledge of Michigan eminent domain law and has prevailed a number of times Michigan Court of Appeals. I have always have found Mr. Strauss to be honorable, polite and professional.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
