Clever Lawyer and Community Leader
As the Cubmaster of our Cub Scout Pack, Judy also served as our legal advisor. She had interesting and helpful advice for our pack whenever a legal issue arose and helped us to avoid legal risk.
Thank you Richard. As an officer of the court I take service to my community very seriously. And Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are near and dear to my heart. My son is a proud Eagle Scout and I am proud of him. Thank you for the thoughtful review.

The best there is
I hired her for a DUI that she was able to drop down to a DWI. She is the ultimate fighter, I had priors, and was desperately trying to turn my life around after this happened. She was so strong, heartfelt, and a true friend when I needed it the most. Thank you so much Judy for your generosity and he...
Bill, I understood the issues you had in the military. I represent a lot of Vets in your position and you deserved help. Lots of lawyers don't know there are options out there like Veteran's treatment or Sobriety Court that can help you lessen charges and go through programs that improve your situation. I am glad I could help and thanks for your service. Judy

Judy's years of legal experience, as well as her educational background, gives her a unique advantage. Judy takes the time t...
I am passionate about end of life planning Brad. I really want to do what is best for your family and try to make doing a difficult task much easier. Glad you had a good experience. Call anytime for further legal advice on any matter. Judy

Wonderful choice!
Judy is my attorney. She has written a will for myself and my husband, and done general legal work for us, also. She is knowledgeable, and made suggestions that we would not have thought of; very thorough! She’s friendly, professional, and works hard for her clients. Paperwork was done in a timely fa...
Such a pleasure working with you Sue. Judy

An Exceptional Attorney
Judy represented me in my divorced and my post divorce proceedings. She was confident and professional and was very prepared on some very unusual and complex issues. So glad she was on my side working hard for me. Lucky to have such good counsel. Her negotiating skills were impeccable! I would hi...
So glad I could help you with such a complicated divorce. Keep your chin up. I see positive things for you in the future. 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."
