I have been representing people and businesses in court cases and litigation matters for thirty-three years. I understand that it is a great privilege and responsibility to speak on behalf of someone else and I take that responsibility seriously.  My first job is to help you solve your legal problem in the most efficient and effective way possible. When a case requires a court fight, I believe in fighting only the issues worth fighting but fighting them aggressively and fairly. I believe that even an aggressive trial lawyer must still work to solve problems.. Throughout my career I have helped people and businesses in various types of civil litigation. I help clients to resolve problems or present their cases in court in real estate, property and construction cases, divorce, custody and family law disputes, general business contract and sales disputes, employment and non-compete clause arguments and personal injury lawsuits. I encourage facilitation and mediation and alternative dispute resolution whenever those resolution methods make sense.

Barry Fayne is a matrimonial law specialist, representing clients in the context of divorce, child custody, and parental rights proceedings. He also provides litigation services for corporate and real estate disputes.. Mr. Fayne believes that, whenever possible, a divorce should be resolved amicably. When children are involved, the parents have to work with each other for years after the divorce is final, and a bitter divorce can result in endless, expensive "post-judgment" litigation. Even in the most bitter of divorces, a negotiated settlement will bring a sense of closure to a relationship, while a judge's decision will often cause both spouses to feel like they "lost."If negotiations fail, Mr. Fayne is a skilled trial lawyer, and is ready to fight for your rights. Prior to specializing in family law, Mr. Fayne successfully litigated cases against national corporations. As a prominent family law specialist, Mr. Fayne has tried cases against many of Michigan's elite family law practitioners.Some attorneys will talk tough, but are unprepared to try cases, and will settle cases for inadequate amounts if their only other choice is to go to trial. Attorneys who know Mr. Fayne know that he is a seasoned trial attorney, that the threat of litigation doesn't scare him, and that he will fight for his clients' rights.Mr. Fayne's practice areas include family law, elder law and grandparent's right, probate law and trust litigation, real estate law, and corporate law. He has been litigating cases since 1973, in both state and federal courts.

Mindy L. Hitchcock has practiced law in Michigan for over 37 years. Using her extensive background in communication, she couples these skills with her legal expertise to achieve remarkable results for her clients. Mindy has written columns for local newspapers in the areas of family law and personal development, and she has also created unique programs to meet her clients' needs, such as the Family Transition Plan and the No Parent Left Behind Plan, aimed at reducing client’s costs and hours spent in court. The goal in each case was to create a product that would address all of her clients' needs in the most cost-effective, low-stress way possible. Clients using the programs have praised their efficacy.. Drawing from her own experience, a lifetime study of spiritual philosophies and teachings, and a deep caring for the planet and the people who live on it, Mindy offers a pragmatic yet loving approach to help people through some of the most difficult times of their lives with skill and compassion. Mindy says, "I believe we teach what we need to learn, and by helping others, we ultimately help ourselves." Like most people, the wisdom she has gained through the years came from her own challenges, including as a child of divorce and from her own divorce after 23 years of marriage. That is why she can honestly tell her clients that from the worst experiences of our lives come the best experiences if we are open to the lessons they hold.  All endings are also beginnings, we just don't know it at the time.

My goal is to help couples have a peaceful divorce. Families should not be in court fighting against one another, particularly when there are children involved. Most divorces, 95% or more, do not go to trial; they settle. But, they usually do not settle until the attorneys have battled for months, belittling the other spouse in an attempt to "win" for their client. My philosophy is that couples should start out in settlement discussions, keeping things civil between them and making decisions for themselves as to what is best for their children and how to fairly divide their property and debt. I am proud to say that I have been very successful in helping couples do just that.

My experience in family law began in law school when I clerked for a prominent family law attorney in Detroit.  I gained valuable experience before I even took the bar exam.  After law school, I immediately started practicing family law and have been doing so ever since.  I am active in the family law community as I currently serve on the State Bar of Michigan Family Law Council.  In the past I have chaired my local Family Court Committee and I volunteer to help low income family law clients.  This involvement keeps me updated on recent changes in the law, often before many of my collegues. I am a certified Domestic Relation Mediator appointed by local courts to help litigants resolve their family law cases prior to trial.
