Top best Construction Lawyers in Grand Rapids | 61 available

I worked during college as a construction laborer which served as the foundation for my interest and expertise as a construction law attorney.. I am proud to be one of four attorneys in my family. My older brother(deceased) and two of my four sons have practiced law.. My wife Debby and I are avid golfers. We also enjoy weekends at our summer cottage on Elk Lake in Norhtern Michigan.

I have conducted bench and jury trials to conclusion in many courts throughout the State of Michigan. I am very active in mediation and arbitration practice. I hold an AV Preeminent rating by Martindale-Hubbell.

I am an experienced commercial litigator and construction lawyer, representing clients large and small in courts throughout Michigan.. My litigation experience includes handling everything from routine collection cases through representing the plaintiff in a shareholder oppression/fraud case that resulted in the largest jury verdict in the history of Kent County, Michigan (roughly $7.9 million) in November 2010.. My construction practice involves all aspects of construction projects, as I have represented owners, architects, general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors and suppliers and sureties on projects throughout Michigan. I offer full services concerning construction projects, from drafting and reviewing contracts through enforcing those agreements and (if necessary) litigating issues relating to liability for damages suffered or contract balances owed by the various parties.. I have also served as a court-appointed arbitrator, and have served as a "neutral" case evaluator in the Kent County Circuit Court for more than a decade, recognizing the fact that my background in handling plaintiffs' and defense work positions me well to evaluate cases without bias or slant toward either side in a lawsuit.

During the first decade of practice I represented doctors and hospitals.  I now use that experience to help real people hurt by preventable, inexcusable medical errors.  A medical doctor and registered nurse assist my law partner, Rob Buchanan, and I field about 1,200 inquiries per year and select the 6-10 most meritorious claims.  Please call us if you have any questions about your (or a loved one’s) medical care.
