About this firm

Nemeth Bonnette Brouwer PC is an employment litigation and labor relations Firm working exclusively with employers to prevent, resolve, and litigate employment disputes. It is the largest woman owned law firm representing employers in management, labor and employment law in the State of Michigan, and is certified as a Woman Owned and Woman Controlled Business through the National Women Business Owners Corporation (NWBOC), as a Women's Business Enterprise through the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), and as a Woman Owned Law Firm through the National Association of Minority & Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF).

The Firm was founded in 1992 by Patricia Nemeth, specializing in management labor and employment law since inception. Nemeth Bonnette Brouwer PC has grown steadily over the years through the formation of a diverse and satisfied client base and the addition of partners, associates and support staff all dedicated to serving clients in the niche areas of employment litigation, traditional labor law and management consultation. The Firm's outstanding performance in this area has earned us an “AV” rating from Martindale-Hubbell – “A” signifying the highest level of legal ability, and the “V” denoting a “very high” adherence to professional standards of conduct, ethics, reliability, and diligence.

Although Nemeth Bonnette Brouwer PC is a boutique labor and employment management Firm, the services we provide compare favorably with those found in employment departments at larger firms. Unlike some larger firms that try to be everything to everyone, our attorneys truly specialize in labor and employment. We do not shuttle attorneys in and out of one practice area and into another. We only specialize in the management side labor and employment law—it's what we do.

The Firm attributes its growth and success to its focus on one common goal -- putting the client first. From high quality legal services and professional development and communication of information to timely responses to client inquiries, we do everything we can to not only meet, but exceed, our clients' expectations.

In addition to our large client base, we have served as panel counsel (EPLI and D&O) for national insurance companies for twenty-plus years and have handled hundreds of employment lawsuits for their insureds. Nemeth Bonnette Brouwer PC has consistently achieved outstanding results, often having cases dismissed or settled for nominal amounts, resulting in very high client satisfaction. Indeed, many clients who have been referred to us in insurance matters continue to call us after the initial matter has been resolved.

We are fortunate to have some of the best employees and clients, and have received recognition and awards from the community for our commitment to both. These awards include: Crain's and IRI Consultants – “Top Ten Best Places to Work in Southeastern Michigan,” and the Michigan Business and Professional Association's – “101 Best and Brightest Places to work in Metropolitan Detroit” and as a “Coolest Place to Work.” In addition, we have been honored twice by Corp! Magazine as one of Michigan's Best Businesses and a third time as one of Michigan's Economic Bright Spots. Our firm has also been honored by Michigan Lawyer's Weekly as one of the 21st Century Innovators based on the programs we have in place for our employees. We believe this helps us in our representation of employers on a number of levels. Not only do we provide our clients with excellent legal services in court, but we also provide sound and timely counseling so that next case does not even arise.
