Michael Willis has my full confidence as an excellent attorney. Being an attorney in the same field, Michael is one of the few attorneys I trust completely and would hire to represent myself in any matter including estate and trust planning, estate administration, corporate and tax. You will not find a better attorney.

Attorney Michael J. Willis is the most talented estate planning lawyer that I know. His background as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) as well as an Attorney gives him an uncanny ability to understand complex and high net worth estates and provide the best planning advice available. Whether you need a Trust or Will drawn up, powers of attorney, your estate administered, a trustee to serve on your behalf, or you require someone talented at contesting a will or removing a trustee, or fighting for your in probate court, Attorney Michael Willis is your lawyer. Michael Willis advises several attorneys throughout Michigan and Florida with their estate issues, and he additionally completed my estate plan and did a top notch job.

I endorse this lawyer. Extremely excellent attorney. Very effective in court. Explains things in a way you can understand. Talks to you and not down at you. I would highly recommend Mr. Willis. Sharp!

I have worked with Attorney Willis with business litigation as well as estate issues and have found him to be very knowledgeable, hard-working, and a problem solver. I've recommended him to my clients and know he will do an excellent job for them.
