Many years ago I went to law school with the intention of going into politics, then a funny thing happened, I fell in love with the law.  I love being a lawyer.  I don't understand colleagues and other lawyers who complain about their careers, I love every second of it.  It is not just my career, it is who I am, it is what I do and what I am passionate about.  The books I read, the movies I watch, the television shows I watch are all predominantly about the law.  I try to bring my passion and energy to every case I have.  I understand when a client walks into my office that client has entrusted his or her life with me.  I take that trust seriously and I do everything in my power to get the best result possible for each and every client.  By not going into politics I gave up the opportunity to help society as a whole, I really believe that I am making a larger, more immediate contribution by helping one client  at a time.

Excellent, knowledgeable, compassionate attorneys are not born--they are made, and their achievement is recognized by their peers.  I received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Law Review of Wayne State's Law School and the Michiganian of the Year Award from the Detroit News.  I have taught Family Law in the evening at Wayne State's Law School for 13 years now as an adjunct professor and have practiced law for 32 years in the areas of real estate, business law, family law, construction law, litigation, and appeals.  I prevailed in the now famous Baby Jessica case where the U of M Law School's Child Advocacy Clinic was my opponent and have handled almost 30 appeals (including an important case under the ADA in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, where I prevailed).  I obtained a jury verdict of over $1M in a First Amendment case and a significant jury verdict in a securities fraud case (both in federal court).   I have authored approximately 15 scholarly articles that were published by  the Wayne Law Review in the areas of property tax, real estate, trusts and estates, and family law.  Many more of my articles were published by the Washtenaw County Bar Association (including a series on foreclosure law).  I was a member of the Saline School Board for 12 years and served on the Saline Tax Board of Review as well as the Representative Assembly of the Bar Association. Our firm, Faupel Law, P.C., just celebrated its 25th anniversary, and before founding that firm, I worked for several very successful Detroit-area firms where I received excellent training from the best.  Besides me, our firm consists of  two associate attorneys, Sandy Musser and Dan Ferency (who both worked with area circuit court judges before joining our firm), and Tony Hart, who is an attorney experienced in sophisticated business transactions; tax appeals and tax planning; and estate planning from the simplest plan to the more exotic.  In addition to having his law degree and having worked as a CPA, Tony also has a master of laws degree in Tax.   If you are cruising the internet looking for an attorney, look no further than Faupel Law, P.C.
