Firm: Themis J. Fotieo
Suite 606 McKay Tower , Grand Rapids , Michigan 49503
Practice Areas: Workers Compensation
For 49 years I have aggressively and successfully represented many disabled claimants/workers.. Over the last four decades I have helped lead the charge in defending the Workers Compensation Law to stem the tide of unwarranted and harmful changes.. From the moment I first meet my client I begin contemplating how to best present the case. More importantly, I believe that a good trial lawyer does not just sit back and hope that the case will try itself. Instead, I enjoy thinking and planning how to best present the case. I consider my client to be a key member of the trial team. Too often, attorneys leave their clients in the dark on important issues that may arise. I have been amazed at how often my clients are able to provide me with excellent arguments and facts to counter the latest attack from the insurance defense attorney. I enjoy the battle. I enjoy the negotiating. But most of all, I enjoy cross-examining the insurance company's witnesses. More often, than not, I will call the personnel director or supervisor as my first witness. This tends to surprise them. Even though many defense lawyers know that I will do this, I am still amazed at what good evidence we can elicit out of the mouths of the defendant’s own representatives.. Except for 7 years of college and law school in Ann Arbor and a brief stint in Washington DC, I have been a lifelong resident of Grand Rapids, MI.. See endorsement at : Posted by a Consumer on 10/30/10: “A detail-oriented lawyer who looks at every single aspect of the situation. He handled a very complicated, unusual aspect of this lawsuit to get fair compensation for future expenses etc.” Themis J. Fotieo - Lawyer in Grand Rapids, Michigan (MI) -

How does someone choose the "right attorney"? I believe that the client must feel comfortable with the attorney, along with having confidence in the attorney's abilities in dealing with the issues at hand.. I specialize in criminal and bankruptcy law. I also handle divorce, license restoration, and debt settlement. I offer personal service and have been very successful in keeping my clients out of jail. In practicing bankruptcy law, in addition to guiding my client through the bankruptcy process, I offer advice to my clients on how to avoid various debt traps and how to live within a budget , but only if they want the advise. I respect my client's right to make their own decisions regarding their lives.. Come on in for a free consultation. I may not be the right fit for every person, but you will not get any high pressure tactics, and you can decide if me representing you and your family is the right decision for you.

Practice Areas: Estate Planning
Tiffany R. Fabian is the founding attorney of Foresight Law Firm. She started Foresight Law Firm to help individuals and families protect themselves from life’s unexpected moments, and she’s proud to have helped many members of the local community plan for just that. Tiffany received her undergraduate degrees in Business Management and Political Science at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. She obtained her Juris Doctorate from the Western Michigan University Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Grand Rapids. She spent a semester of law school studying at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.. Though Tiffany and her husband are not originally from West Michigan, they’re both proud to call it home. Tiffany hails originally from Chicago--later, Niles, MI--while her husband is from Slovakia; they enjoy traveling to visit their families as often as they are able. Tiffany is passionate about working with families. She comes from a large family herself as the eldest of five kids. Like her, many members of her family are entrepreneurs. She is also passionate about real estate and communities. Her family has built or remodeled every home she's ever lived in, and she enjoys the memories that she has from all the family projects. Tiffany has spent every summer since she was born in Sister Lakes, Michigan, on the same lake where her parents met when they were 9 and 10 years old. She loves Michigan Octobers almost as much as summers on the lake. When she’s not in the office, you can find her attending local neighborhood events, exploring local neighborhood restaurants, watching home renovation shows, and soaking in the Michigan summer at her family’s lake home with her husband, daughter, and their Goldendoodle, named Ginsburg.
