Michigan Bar Journal Directory

This online Member Directory provides basic information about attorneys licensed to practice in Michigan. A lawyer's listing as a member of a section or committee indicates the lawyer's interest in particular areas of law, and does not provide information about the lawyer's training, experience, or expertise in a particular area. Because lawyers have an ethical duty to avoid conflicts of interest and may already represent a different person in the same matter, please do not e-mail the details of your legal matter to a lawyer. Instead, call the lawyer to make an appointment to discuss your matter in person. (Mobile Friendly)
