ATTORNEYS
Brook represents clients in a variety of civil litigation and transactional matters. The primary focus of his litigation practice is representing clients in labor and employment disputes. Brook represents employees and employers in matters in state and federal court and in charges before the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Brook advises clients in matters involving separation agreements, unemployment benefits, non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, wrongful termination, discrimination and claims under the Whistleblower’s Protection Act.
Brook’s litigation practice also includes representing clients in general civil litigation, property tax appeals, real estate disputes and creditor’s rights.
Brook provides clients comprehensive estate planning, business advising and formation and representation in real estate transactions. While Brook’s estate planning clientele includes people of all ages, he focuses on informing young couples with minor children that estate planning is not just for people on the brink of retirement. Rather, estate planning is important and affordable for couples with minor children.
John focuses his practice in estate planning, probate and trust litigation and administration, and Medicaid law. His services range from drafting simple wills to creating estate plans for high net worth clients with taxable estates and complex business and real property issues. He also advises elderly clients (or their representatives) when planning or attempting to qualify for Medicaid.
Though estate planning and related areas of law encompass a significant portion of John’s practice, he also represents individuals and entities in areas including commercial and residential real estate, construction law, business law, telecommunications law, and civil defense.
