Thomas L. Saxe

Since he began working in private practice in 1983, Tom has been a litigator.  Family law has always been a very large part of his practice.

Tom also enjoys a statewide reputation in construction lien and bond work. He is a mediator and arbitrator in both construction and family law cases and annually lectures for continuing legal education seminars.  Tom recently instructed courses titled "Tax Tips for Non Tax Lawyers" and "Tips for Surviving in a Down Economy."

He just recently ended a three year term as a Trustee in the Association and co-chair of the Grand Rapids Bar Foundation.  He is a fellow in the Grand Rapids and Michigan Bar Foundations and has served on many committees over the years. He was elected Chairperson of the Family Law Section of the Grand Rapids Bar Association in 1998.

Nominated by the opinions of other lawyers and judges, he has earned the highest Martindale Hubbell Preeminent AV Rating.  This is the top rating that a lawyer can achieve through a peer review process recognizing ethics, outstanding skills and ability.

Tom has lived in West Michigan most of his life, although he will admit to being born in Indiana and educated at Michigan State University (BA 1978) and the University of Detroit School of Law (JD 1981).  After law school, Tom clerked for the Honorable Robert B. Burns with the Michigan Court of Appeals.
