At Doerr MacWilliams Howard PLLC (DMH Law), the focus is simple: deliver big-firm level business-law capability with the close attention and accountability of a small firm. Launched in 2023, DMH Law was formed by three attorneys with complementary strengths in litigation and business counseling—Joe Doerr, Sara MacWilliams, and Derek Howard. The firm is built to handle complex commercial disputes where the stakes are real and the timeline is urgent, including fraud claims, contract breaches, shareholder disputes, and cases involving technology breakdowns. DMH Law plans strategically from day one, working to minimize disruption while positioning clients to win—whether through negotiation, motion practice, or trial. The firm’s partners bring distinct experience: Doerr left large-firm practice to build his own litigation-focused firm and has held leadership roles in the local bar; MacWilliams brings a seasoned outside general counsel and transactional practice along with an established support team; and Howard leverages years inside Oakland County’s Business Court and a record of business litigation victories featured in Michigan Lawyers Weekly. Together, DMH Law provides businesses with skilled, practical representation at every stage.
