Excellent Attorney
Judy was amazing at helping me with terminating a conservatorship properly. She was fast and furious when it came to the paperwork. She got the job done and assured me not to worry. Her caring words took away all my stress in Getty my daughter her settlement money in a timely manner. I would recommen...

Bad Experience
Hired Judy to handle my case and things started OK. Then I was passed off to her incompetent partner, Kristen April. Things fell off a cliff from there. I met with her and stated I did not want her partner but she explained how she would work with her. Never happened. All in all they were always unpr...

My Review
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Judy Coleman. When things were uncertain for my family she provided her knowledge and assistance in my time of need. Very prompt, compassionate, & responsive. Would highly recommend her.

HORRIBLE Experience w/ Ms. Coleman
After consulting with Ms. Coleman I am increasingly grateful that I did not invest further with her. Her disposition was disappointing to say the least. She yelled at me and then insulted me. She twisted things and was very erratic. I will never consult, hire or recommend her to anyone. BEWARE

Our real estate issue definitely needed a patient lawyer. Judy became an integral part of our lives in this 5-month process. The most impressive aspect that surfaced during our three court appearances was the fact that it was obvious her knowledge of the law was beyond my expectations, as our case ...
Thank you so much for your kind words. Judy
"Mrs. Coleman is highly competent and extremely professional when it comes to the cases that she handles. She is a true asset to the Michigan legal community, to her clients, and to those seeking legal help. I would not hesitate to recommend Mrs. Coleman to my own clients if they were in need."
"I refer all of my probate and estate work to Judy she is a great resource for anyone in need of these sources. Keep up the good work!"
"I met with Judy this past fall as a fellow lawyer in the Livonia community, and have seen her active on social media helping others with extreme patience and excellent legal knowledge. I have referred her some clients in the family law arena, but I know she is well versed in other areas as well. I think she is a top choice for someone looking for an attorney that takes each client and matter seriously and gives it full attention."
