About this firm

The attorneys of Wheeler Upham are well known in the courtrooms and boardrooms of Michigan. We have spent over 130 years advising individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations, and solving their legal problems. As a firm, we are big enough to bring together a team of lawyers with many diverse skills, yet small enough to provide you with the personalized attention your unique concerns deserve. We offer the benefits of a larger law firm at a more affordable cost. That's why our clients range from individuals to small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. The professionals at Wheeler Upham practice in many different areas of law, but we have in common a commitment to personalized, efficient, and effective legal service.
