I have been licensed and practicing in Livingston County since 1986, and received both my undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
I am a general practitioner, but concentrate in the areas of Probate, Estate Planning, Probate Avoidance, Elder Law, Personal injury, Domestic law, including divorce, and real estate matters.
If you have questions, please call. Many issues can be handled with a question on the phone, others I will suggest an in person conference for, particularly if there are documents that I need to review to get a full picture of the situation. And remember the addage: 'The only silly question is the one you don't ask'!

He agreed to review the closing package on my behalf, and to prepare and file a "Lady Bird" deed for the property I was purchasing. For this service I paid him $300 in advance. Approximately two weeks prior to the clos...

I called Kenneth after being referred by another attorney. The issue concerned breaking a lease. We spoke for several minuets. He was very helpful, even though he was giving free advice. After our conversation, I had a clear understanding of what my next steps should be. I would (and expect to) hire ...
I'm pleased I could help and I HOPE the situation resolves without my having to represent you, but I'd be happy to help if needed. Good luck!

He answered my question to the best of his ability , he needed to see the actual paperwork to given me a more accurate answer on my question. I will look into the legal documentation paperwork that was advised to do and go from there.
I am sorry you weren't completely happy with an honest answer, but I am always happy to completely review the situation if I am given the opportunity to do so. I frequently comment that this is like going to a car mechanic and saying "my car makes a funny noise, but you can't look at it or open the hood: just tell me what to do to make it stop making the noise" and then complaining that the mechanic doesn't know what to do. I hope you reconsider the 'average' rating....

Kenneth's answers are the ones I read first. He is direct and to the point and knows what he is talking about. He says what needs to be said in an answer that is short and easy to understand.
