Nearly two decades of legal experience as a Solo Practitioner focused on Consumer Law, Real Estate and Small Business Advisement Obtained favorable resolutions on clients’ behalf against insurance companies, public utilities and private individuals. Assist both new ventures and existing business with appropriate entity selection, as well as preparation and or review of contracts, leases and agreements. Strong interviewing, research and analytical skills are combined to craft an approach to effectively resolve a client’s concerns. A client centered practice dedicated to sensitivity, creativity and integrity.

My practice is devoted to representing disability benefit claimants, through SSA or other long-term disability insurance, and from the initial application through all levels of administrative and court appeal.  I have decades of experience in this specialized practice area, and it shows in my very high success rate. No matter the nature of your severe medical impairment, work or educational background, I can help with your case, and will strive to do so with compassion and kindness. If you are facing this situation, it is wise to retain an attorney early in the process, so call today for your free consultation.

My goal is to understand and resolve clients' employment concerns through active listening, investigative research, and attentive communication. I strive to create relationships based on trust, professionalism, authenticity, and respect.. At Maddin Hauser Roth & Heller, I work with an exceptional team of attorneys, representing both employers and employees, to prepare legally compliant handbook policies, provide on-site employee and management training, advise regarding discipline and termination of employees, negotiate mutually beneficial resolutions to employment concerns, handle agency charges of discrimination and harassment, and respond to claims for unemployment insurance benefits.. My prior experience includes litigation of personal injury claims to determine risk and liability of insurance companies in first party, third party, and uninsured motorist no-fault cases.  My pro bono experience includes participation in Common Ground's legal clinic and the Pro Bono Program through the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

My firm's practice focuses on consumer bankruptcy and debt resolution. We do help individuals with Social Security Disability filing, small estate planning matters, and business formation, but our main practice revolves around debt resolution.. I enjoy my work as each day involves different aspects of my practice including research and writing, meeting with clients, drafting court papers for my clients, negotiations and discussions with creditors and Trustees, and overseeing business operations.. When meeting with a client for the first time, we offer a full consultation looking at every aspect of the client's case. I will personally discuss each and every issue that may be presented in the case and advise from there. I believe each client should be treated ethically and the attorney should act in the best interest of the client. We advise each client as if we were sitting in their place. We do not put clients in reorganization plans or debt settlement programs unless it is their best option.. The thing I like best about bankruptcy is when the case is complete, my client is happy. Unlike family law, criminal law, probate, accident claims, and many other areas of the law, the client is given a fresh start to begin anew without baggage or past trama carried with them.

My firm is completely dedicated to helping seriously injured people who need legal help.  We value our clients, we listen to our clients, and we protect our clients.. We have a record in trial that is second to none, and the corporations and insurance companies we battle know this fact, and give our clients the respect they deserve.. We have special expertise in helping victims of traumatic brain injury.  Brain injury cases are very challenging.  Theyrequire a great deal of specialized education and experience by the trial lawyer, in order to obtain the best results.. I have tried a many cases for psychiatric injuries arising from the trauma of a serious accident.  These manifest as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, agoraphobia, and other mental difficulties.. We represent victims of spine and spinal cord injuries.  Victims of Quadriplegia, paraplegia demand the very best representaiton to safeguard your future.  We have an outstanding record of results, and have never lost a case against an insurance company.. Christensen Law:  Listening. Protecting. Winning.

My areas of practice are probate, estate and trust administration, and estate planning.  I served in the army after graduating from the University of Detroit Mercy's School of Law in 1970.  After law school, I worked as a supervising attorney at Wayne County Neighborhood Legal Services.  From there, I was in private practice for three years and then joined the Oakland County Probate Court, as Chief Deputy Register and Attorney, for eight and-a-half years.  In 1984, I joined Sommers Schwartz.  I have been married to a wonderful woman for near 35 years and have one daughter and a dog.  In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, water aerobics, and weight and strength training.

Ms. Spencer has exclusively practiced Social Security law her entire legal career.. Being in private litigation for over 25 years, and having handled thousands of social security cases, I have a lot of knowledge as to how a case should proceed and what short of proofs will be needed to accomplish the goal of favorably adjudicating a case. I meet with staff attorneys who work for the Administrative Law Judges, to explore settlement issues such as appropriate onset dates of disability, whether a claimant meets the listings of impairments, whether there are medical opinions or objective medical testing needed. When participating in these conferences, I find ways to clarify the issues of a case. More importantly, I try to resolve these issues. At the same time, I strive to get to the truth of the matters at hand while making sure the administrative record is properly created to insure the fundamental fairness of the process for the claimant. I extensively write briefs, both at the administrative level and the Federal Court level. I represent, on average, 20 clients per month, at their Social Security Administrative hearings. For each hearing, I write a Proposed Finding of Facts and Conclusions of Law. These briefs contain a detailed summary of the medical evidence in the administration file along with my legal arguments. If a claimant is denied by the Administrative Law Judge, I write an appeal to the Appeals Council. I file appeals in Federal Court, for both the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan, which requires extensive writing of briefs in the form of Statement of Errors, Motion for Summary Judgments, Replies to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment, and Objections to the Magistrate’s Report and Recommendations. I also, on occasion, write appeal briefs for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. I have several published cases.. I handle all the Federal Court appeals which require me to evaluate whether an Administrative Law Judge’s decision merits appeal to the Federal Courts. I meticulously review hundreds of administrative records to evaluate whether errors have been made by the Administrative Law Judge in denying a Social Security disability claim. I identify the appealable issues based on the medical issues, current laws and procedural issues. I outline the appealable issues while weighing the likelihood of success of an appeal to Federal Court. After my thorough evaluation, I decide whether I will start a civil action in Federal District Court.. I regular teach seminars and believe that in order to be able to teach a subject, you must know it cold which means not only intensely studying the subject matter but regularly being in court to “practice what you teach”. What makes me unique is that I am one of the few attorneys that handle cases from the initial application to the Federal Court of Appeals. I have several published Federal Court cases and author a daily blog and Facebook that talks about new and pressing Social Security issues to keep people abreast of any and all Social Security topics. I have represented thousands of claimants in Social Security cases during the course of my professional career as I have exclusively practiced Social Security Disability and SSI law since 1990 and maintain an active Social Security caseload. I am currently a board member for the State Bar of Michigan Social Security Section. My goal is to help educate case managers and social workers so they can prepare for the difficult process of qualifying for benefits.
