When I first started West Michigan Law, I was challenged to answer the question: Why do I do what I do? Without much thought, the answer became clear…my clients look to me to find Peace of Mind. I have the knowledge and expertise that allows you to rest knowing that I will help you through your legal needs. Your best interest is the reason I am in this business, and why I choose to come to work.
Our Values
-
High Quality / Effectiveness
As a lawyer, I sell two products – the expertise inside my brain, and a written work product. Both are critically important to being a successful lawyer, and I take them both very seriously. At the end of the day, all of the expertise in the world does not matter if I am unable to deliver a high quality work product to you that is both understandable and free from errors.
-
Timeliness / Efficiency
Technology has sped up the practice of law and I do not shy away from that fact. By discussing your expectations at the time of project creation and running an efficient office that stresses adherence to deadlines, I am able to provide a turnaround time that meets your needs without sacrificing a high quality work product.
-
Proactive / Continuing Education
I believe that a lawyer must always be intellectually curious because the law is constantly changing. As a result, I devote the time necessary each year to not only attend seminars, but present on various new and unique legal topics. This allows me to sharpen my skills of applying the law to your needs in a clear and concise manner.
-
Cost-Effective / Value-Add
I believe that legal services should rarely be compensated on an hourly basis, because the hourly model promotes inefficient attorney behavior and leads to unexpected bills at the end of the project. It is my goal to have a discussion with you at the beginning of a project to explain my role and the scope of services to be provided. We will then come to a mutual understanding of what my fees will be for that scope of services.

My practice is focused almost exclusively on the transactional side of the law, and I strive to set myself apart by providing an efficient legal work product that does not sacrifice the effectiveness and attention to detail that should always be an attorney’s top priority. -
