James M. Duquet

After years of public service, I decided that I could better serve litigants and fiduciaries in Probate matters as their attorney than I ever could as a court administrator. I had seen first-hand both the high quality written pleadings and in-court excellence of the attorneys who practice at The Probate Pro, so I decided to join them. I represent our clients in court weekly on a variety of probate matters. 

After growing up in the relatively rural town of Pinckney, Michigan, I have found a nice blend of urban and rural living where I currently live in West Bloomfield. During our short, but glorious Michigan summers, I prefer to spend as much time as possible on my pontoon boat. During fall weekends, my favorite place to be is at a University of Michigan Football game cheering on my Wolverines. In the wintertime, I enjoy snowmobiling. I try to stay local, but the snow is always better “Up North” when I can get away. Since our springtime generally isn’t so nice, that’s when I prefer to travel to sunnier, warmer destinations, and hopefully do some SCUBA diving if I can. I like running and mountain biking, and I also enjoy reading fiction in my spare time. Some of my favorite authors include: George R. R. Martin (fantasy), John Grisham (legal/suspense), Robert Harris (historical), and Stephen King.
