About Ian
Biography
After graduating from Wayne State Law School, I spent over a year as a bankruptcy law clerk in Detroit, one of the most utilized bankruptcy courts in the country. From there, I went to work at one of the largest law firms in the world, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meager & Flom in Chicago. While at Skadden, I devoted the majority of my time to representing Delphi Automotive during its Chapter 11 reorganization. After Skadden, I went to work for another large law firm, this time at Haynes and Boone in Houston. Like my time at Skadden, I focused my practice primarily on debtor representation in large Chapter 11 reorganizations.
In 2009, my wife and I became pregnant with our first child and decided it was time to come home to Michigan where both of us were born and raised. I joined a small law firm, Erman Teicher, in Southfield. While there, I broadened my practice areas to include general commercial and real estate litigation as well as real estate and other transaction work.
In 2010, I joined Maddin, Hauser, Roth & Heller, PC as an associate attorney in the Complex Litigation and Risk Advisory and Bankruptcy groups. After less than 3 years at Maddin Hauser, I was named a shareholder at the firm and, a year later, I was named a 2015 Rising Star. While at Maddin Hauser, I expanded my practice even farther to include property tax appeals (real and personal). I represented dozens of clients in hundreds of matters while at Maddin Hauser and almost all of those clients remain my clients today.
In December 2015, I decided to open my own law firm and since that time, I have worked with each of my clients to provide exceptional service to help them yield desired results in the most efficient manner.
