Steven Henley - Grand Rapids, MI

Steven earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Political Science and Economics from Grand Valley State University. During his time there, he served in Student Senate, was President of the GVSU Law Society, and was a senior fellow with the Cook Leadership Academy at the Hauenstein Center. One of his most meaningful experiences was volunteering with the Legal Assistance Center of Kent County, where he saw the practical impact of careful, client-focused legal work. He was also a recipient of the Hilda E. Bretzlaff Foundation Scholarship and the John W. and Virginia M. Reifel Economics Scholarship.

After graduating, Steven worked in construction, an experience that shaped his work ethic and gave him a practical understanding of real property, development, and how projects function outside the classroom. During this time, he earned his real estate salesperson’s license, which he continues to maintain.

Steven attended Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where he received a merit scholarship. While in law school, he gained experience in civil defense litigation, real estate tax matters, and federal tax issues, including work with Crowe LLP and externships with Loyola’s Low Income Taxpayer Clinic and the Internal Revenue Service’s Office of General Counsel for the Large Business and International Division. Following law school, Steven began practicing in real estate litigation, handling matters involving easements, condominiums and homeowners associations, zoning and land use disputes, construction and contractor issues, landlord-tenant matters, and other property-related disputes.

Steven aims to listen carefully to client concerns and provide thoughtful, well-prepared representation. He values attention to detail and practical solutions grounded in a clear understanding of the facts.

Steven is an Eagle Scout, an achievement that reflects his commitment to responsibility, service, and follow-through. Outside the office, he enjoys spending time with his family, his two dogs, staying active outdoors, and working on hands-on projects at home.
