Kurt joined the Firm in 1991. His practice specialties include corporate transactions, federal and state credit unions, municipal law, real estate union negotiations, business law, contract, and creditor disputes.

Looking at one specialty in detail, Kurt’s representation of Federal and State Credit Unions has been honed over the years. During this time, he developed the expertise to handle all legal situations which confront Credit Unions. His knowledge relates to collection matters, all facets of bankruptcies, construction management of new or remodeled branch offices, mergers and general corporate counsel work in relation to succession planning, severance and retirement packages, employment and personnel matters, and facilitating credit union board of director’s visioning sessions.

Kurt served as a municipal elected official for twelve years, with his last four years as being the chief elected official of Grosse Ile Township located in Grosse Ile, Michigan.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
