About Arthur

What types of legal issues do you help businesses and individuals resolve?

I am an attorney and counselor, with the emphasis on “counselor.” I delight in developing strategy and solving business and real estate problems with a “can do” attitude. I have extensive experience in condemnation (eminent domain) and zoning matters, including the litigation of dozens of significant cases. I have represented clients in Michigan District and Circuit Courts, Federal District Courts, the Michigan Court of Appeals, the Michigan Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

Education

Wayne State University, J.D., 1968

University of Michigan, B.B.A., 1964

Q: What would a client say about you?

A:

“Leo and I have had many “Art Appreciation” days, since we last talked. The demo of the houses went well, including compacting the soil, because of your wording in the agreement.”
