Kitch Drutchas Wagner Valitutti & Sherbrook

Landlord/Tenant law involves the negotiation, drafting, execution and enforcement of commercial, industrial and residential leases, lease amendments, subleases, rules and regulations, personal guarantees, options and rights of first refusal.  Kitch firm attorneys focus on real estate litigation with expertise in all aspects of landlord/tenant law. Kitch attorneys appear regularly in court and diligently handle all landlord/tenant matters.

Whether the client is a single property owner or a publicly-traded real estate investment trust, the firm always conducts an individual risk tolerance and costs/benefit analysis with each client before recommending a future course of action to ensure that the client's budget and goals are "on the same page."

The firm's significant presence and practical experience assisting clients throughout Metropolitan Detroit is invaluable. The firm has developed solid and reliable connections with virtually every process server working in the area. We are also familiar with many of the clerks that act as "gatekeepers" in each landlord/tenant lawsuit.

Firm clients include residential property owners and managers, manufactured housing communities, condominium developments, commercial property owners and managers, industrial property owners and managers, corporations that rent real estate, third party residential, commercial and industrial property management companies (local, national, international and publicly traded) and some larger tenants.

The Kitch firm was co-founded in Detroit in 1969 by Richard A. Kitch and Richard F. Suhrheinrich, now a Senior Federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge.

Historically, the Firm has attracted a diverse pool of attorneys and staff, seeking only the most talented individuals to serve our clients.

The Kitch firm was recognized in 2006 by Michigan Lawyers Weekly as the Detroit area law firm with the highest percentage of women attorneys (41%) and the highest percentage of female partners (27%).

The Kitch firm recognizes and celebrates the concept of diversity and  equal opportunity in the workplace.
