    Successfully represented MERS in an appeal wherein appellant attempted in invalidate settlement that was placed on the record when he had a "change of heart" following the settlement. In an unpublished opinion, the COA held that the settlement as placed on the record in the trial court was valid and enforceable; Prevailed, in part, on a Motion for Summary Disposition in Kent County Circuit Court before Judge Redford on a claim against the Company for its refusal to provide coverage for an easement related claim.

In lieu of filing a responsive pleading, Mr. Brown filed a Motion for Summary Disposition that resulted in the Court agreeing that the Plaintiff's claims were barred as a result of laches due to the change in circumstances since the conveyance that the Plaintiff was challenging; Represented Plaintiff in equitable subrogation claim wherein Defendant voluntarily agreed to provide Subordination Agreement; Represented title insurance companies and their insureds in various real estate title disputes, including mortgage priority disputes, adverse possession claims, boundary disputes, easement issues, construction lien claims, and fraud claims; Represented title insurance underwriters in insurance coverage disputes and recoupment and subrogation actions; Represented lenders, owners, and lien claimants in construction lien claims and foreclosures; Represented creditors in bankruptcy matters, including perfection or preference claims by bankruptcy trustees; Represented financial institutions and mortgage servicers directly with various residential and commercial real estate matters; Successfully defended a mortgage company in a seven-million dollar tort action by borrower; Successfully handled subsequent appeal wherein the Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's dismissal of the mortgage company; Successfully negotiated favorable settlements on behalf of clients in various real estate, contract, and business litigation matters; Reviewed, analyzed, and resolved hundreds of real estate title matters.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
