Firm Overview
A Law Firm that Understands Business
From our founding in 1951 to the present day, our law firm has been notable for the diverse educational and work backgrounds of our attorneys.
In addition to being lawyers, we have experience in family businesses, large and small corporations and entrepreneurial companies. Some of us have worked for insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions; others have served in municipal government, the state legislature and legislative agencies. We have lawyers who have served in the military and others who have been managers and directors of health care providers and charitable organizations.
The attorneys at Sullivan, Ward, Asher & Patton know, understand and appreciate what it takes to run a business.
From our offices in Southfield and Grand Rapids, Michigan and Chicago, we provide legal services throughout the Country to several major industries. In addition to Michigan, California and Illinois, we have attorneys admitted to practice in states that include New York, Maryland, Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio and Florida, as well as the District of Columbia.
