Call Judy Coleman
Ms. Coleman called me back quickly, within the hour, for a consultation, and she was able to answer my legal question. Not only was she professional, and knowledgeable, she was kind.

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 ...

She took as much time as I needed for me to understand my options, going through everything in great detail. S...
Everyone has a story and it's my job as attorney and "counselor" to listen and help you make the best decisions for you. I am here when you need me. 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."
