Francie Novar handled my divorce in 2014. To this day, I refer to her as my little pit bull…read moreattorney! We had a very complicated case that resulted in a two-day trial for a divorce. (Believe it or not!) She is amazingly thorough and dedicated to getting answers and building the strongest case possible. We also had a VERY difficult and temperamental judge who flipped back and forth on us. But in the end, Ms. Novar was able to convince her of our arguments and was also very creative in her approach. The judgement weighed heavily in our favor, compared to what my spouse was asking for. And by the way, I had tried mediation before contacting Ms. Novar, and was advised to settle out of court, as there are "certain guidelines" the courts would use to establish spousal support. Well, she blew those guidelines out of the water with the case she presented! Just for a frame of reference - it was a 28-yr marriage in which my husband wanted support to the tune of $230,000 plus legal fees. He got $35,000 and no legal fees! I'd recommend Ms Novar 10 times over, not only for her legal expertise, but also because she is simply a great person.

She worked tirelessly for a sensible, fair and unique solution, that avoided a costly and harmful invasion of privacy in court for a family member with whom I needed to have a legally-binding agreement.

There are truly some remarkable attorneys out there who work from their hearts as well as their minds. Francie is one of them!

I was referred to Michigan Auto law by a friend. It's very important to have a group of attorneys working for you that are well educated in auto law. Also, its very important that they have the skill set and knowledge, to handle the toughest cases. Someone you can trust and a team you know has your back. Michigan Auto Law, gets a 5 star review from me. My attorney Jeff and his team, are very good at what they do. I clearly made the right decision by choosing them to represent me in my law suit, against a very large insurance company. Jeff worked very hard to get me a quick settlement. while I have been out of work, he made sure the insurance company paid my wages each week. I'm writing this review in hopes that you make the right decision when choosing a attorney. I know I sound like a commercial, but I'm telling you ,they are the real deal. If you are reading this, I hope you will be ok, and please trust this team of attorneys, they will help you!! Thanks, Benny

So grateful I was referred to Nick Roumel at Nacht Law. I worked for an "at will" employer that…read morelaid off more than one staff wrongfully and i decided that I was not going to be one of them. The entire staff knew my termination was wrong and encouraged and supported me to do something about this. I was 60 years old, no graduate degree and my plans of a retirement party and leaving on my time were vanquished. I felt more than ready to challenge their decision. This was not a big case for Nick, (he is very informal) but it was a big case for me. I was not well paid but this was also about principal. Nick was professional, eloquent, and commanded respect by his very presence. The defendant's lawyers were no match for his knowledge and well chosen rhetoric. Nick walked me through the legal system, and always responded immediately to my emails (sometimes very late at night or on weekends). He is clearly dedicated to his work and takes even the smallest of cases seriously. I learned quickly to trust him impeccably and followed his every advice. Nick secured a nice settlement for me without going to court. It was such a pleasure to work with him in spite of a very emotional situation for me. I so totally recommend him.

Where do I even start?…read more I was referred to Bill and Elizabeth last week after a terrifying arraignment regarding violations that were not a true representation of my character/behavior during my probation period. From the start Bill showed a great deal of understanding for my case, especially since the system is unrelenting for fellow queer POC/Trans-folks like me. His experience and perspective gives a logical and realistic approach that doesn't leave you feeling like you have no options and he makes you feel heard in the court room. Mind you, my case did not seem like it was going to go well because I was facing jail-time for technical violations, but the two of them worked hard to advocate for me. This is truly a special practice they have here. I have dealt with two other lawyers before them and I can confidently say that you can bank your life on Bill and Elizabeth! The way Elizabeth can keep you on track and level headed is nothing short of a true hero. Her ability to empathize makes you remember how human we all are, and that is a rare find in a lawyer! You won't find a more knowledgable and experienced legal team elsewhere. They genuinely care about your short and long-term wellbeing. OH. I almost forgot, they managed to get me off probation and no jail-time. Of course this isn't always going to be the case and there was some luck at play, but none of that would have happened without Wilson P. Tanner III, PLC!

Elizabeth Janovic was employed both as a mediator and as a parenting coordinator in my divorce…read morecase. The good outcome in my case was in spite of Ms. Janovic's services, not because of them. For example, in mediation, my attorney told Ms. Janovic that my priority was getting the best custody arrangement I could, with financial issues secondary. However, he explicitly instructed Ms. Janovic not to reveal those priorities to the other party or her attorney at the outset. Inexplicably, before trying various other mediation strategies, Ms. Janovic almost immediately told the other party that if they would compromise on custody issues, I would be willing to sacrifice many of my financial interests. This early disclosure ended up costing me many thousands of dollars. However, Ms. Janovic's ineffectiveness as a divorce mediator paled in comparison to her incompetence as a parenting coordinator. Ms. Janovic's first court order as a parenting coordinator violated basic legal standards, so the judge on the case sent it back to be rewritten. Ms. Janovic then charged the parties for the time it took her to redo this work to adhere to court standards, essentially profiting from her own error and lack of legal knowledge. Ms. Janovic also seemed confused about the Michigan laws governing parenting coordinators, along with the specific contract that enshrined the terms of her appointment. She had to reach out to the court for clarification on the Michigan law governing parenting coordinator appointments, for which she also billed the parties even though I had previously emailed her the relevant statutory and contract provisions. Furthermore, her act of contacting the judicial attorney was itself improper and ultimately fruitless, as court employees are forbidden from offering legal advice. Ultimately, after I described these episodes and other conduct that I found objectionable, the judge removed Ms. Janovic as parenting coordinator and the mediator of record on my case. Since then, our case has run much more smoothly, with less conflict and fewer costs. I would advise anyone seeking legal services in the area of family law to avoid Ms. Janovic.
