I am an award-winning family law attorney and founder of Best Interest Law, practicing in the Metropolitan Detroit Area (Macomb, Oakland, Wayne). My expertise is in research and analysis of all areas of family law (complex to simple divorce, custody, parenting time, child support, asset & debt division, spousal support, paternity, post-judgment, domestic relations appeals, & PPO cases). I have experience in the private and non-profit sectors, have had much success for my clients at the trial court level, have succeeded in the Court of Appeals, have drafted multiple successful appellate briefs, and have drafted judicial opinions for the Wayne Count Circuit Court Family Division.
I believe uncertainty is often the root of discontent for clients. That is why I have spent my career organizing complicated family law issues in a comprehensible manner.

I spoke with Dennis today and he was very personable and respectful about my current situation. It was just a free consultation but he in no way rushed me off the phone and gave me amazing advice! If I need anything in future I will definitely be reaching out to him and recommending others! Thank you...

Retaining dennis as my divorce attorney was the best decision I could have made. I interviewed several other attorneys before making my decision. I felt he was truly invested in my best interests. He was always honest with me, even when he knew it wasn't what I wanted to hear. He made sure I was fu...

Dennis was quick to come up with answers and he was also extremely through. He made it easy to understand what exactly is taking place with the case. He was understanding and extremely knowledgeable, and funny too! Without his guidance I would be lost right now. So thank you for sharing your know...

Dennis is professional and always prepared. If he didn't answer the phone right away, he would call me back in ten minutes, and answer all of my questions. Dennis was prepared for every obstacle that we faced in court. Thanks Dennis.

After an unfortunate divorce decision, Dennis was found by online reviews after a not great consult with a larger, local family law firm. Dennis from start to end was the perfect attorney. He was always professional, emphatic, timely, extremely intelligent and communicative, engaged, fair in pricin...
"My practice is in close proximity to Mr. Germain's. I have seen first hand how diligent he is in fighting for his clients. He leaves no stone unturned. I would not hesitate to send any of my clients to speak with Mr. Germain about their family law issues. He is a great attorney and I am happy to have him as a colleague."
"I endorse this attorney, who provides so generously to the AVVO community and gives sound legal advice."
"Not only do I endorse this attorney, but I personally send my clients with family and divorce law issues to him. I know I can trust Dennis to get them the best possible outcome and they RAVE about his services."
"I strongly endorse Mr. Germain. He is an extremely well-respected, dedicated lawyer who holds that rare gift of actually caring about his clients."
"Dennis was on the other side in a very contentious matter. I was impressed by both his firm commitment to his client's goals and his varied legal knowledge. Further, I found that he offered meaningful creative suggestions that assisted in resolving our case quickly, saving both his client and mine significant attorney's fees."
"Such a hard working attorney! Dennis really cares about his clients. A great quality that is hard to find these days."
"I recently met Dennis working on a case together. He did an excellent job. His pleadings were in great and he really cared about his client. I would recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a family law attorney."
