About Us

As a resident of Michigan, my practice within Lake Property Law, PLC includes most counties in the entire Lower Peninsula. I graduated from the University of Michigan and Detroit College of Law over 40 years ago and have practiced in real estate, municipal and many other areas of law over the years. There’s not much in the field of real estate to which I have not been exposed. This includes all types of real property litigation in many areas of Michigan.

I am a land title attorney and am very proud of it. My experiences in this area of the law have been varied and extensive, from rural and urban, governmental and private, corporate and individual, large acreage and small condominiums. I value real property titles and lesser interests. For the last many years, however, I have focused my attention to boundary, title and easement law, especially as those subjects pertain to the Great Lakes, inland lakes, rivers, ponds and streams. This mandates a knowledge of the U.S Constitution, federal surveys, statutes, and case law regarding titles and rights in lands and under water bodies. 

There are more than a few good property attorneys in Michigan and I consider myself fortunate to be included in that group as it has been my life’s work. Additionally and more specifically, I am a legal subdivision boundary attorney. A boundary attorney has specialized knowledge in the public land (federal) surveys that make up every bit of property in this state. It’s not exactly a brotherhood as I know of no such practioners other than myself and those who associate with me. We know it; and we know it well. It has taken years to develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. It’s something I remember touching upon in property class for a session or two in law school; that’s it. I realize now the subject matter should have been covered over two semesters, at least. It is the legal bases of our entire lands and waters in Michigan.

Whatever concerns you may have with real estate matters and more so within the specialties discussed above and set forth in this site, I invite you to contact me. Nearly a half century of experience may or may not give you an answer that you are looking for, but it will most probably save you from having to knock on more doors to get the correct answer.
