Serving Detroit and Wayne County from our Dearborn office, about 15 minutes away.
LegalSolv represents Detroit clients in business & corporate matters. Detroit is the largest city in Michigan and the Wayne County seat, where the county Circuit Court and the 36th District Court sit downtown. Because our office is about 15 minutes away in Dearborn, you get a Wayne County firm that knows the local courts and procedures without a long drive across Metro Detroit.
LLC formation, corporate governance, operating agreements, commercial leases, and business disputes.
The same attorney who takes your call handles your case from the first consultation through resolution, whether the matter settles, is negotiated, or has to be argued in court.
Detroit businesses form and file with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) at the state level rather than the county. When commercial disputes arise, they are heard in the Business Court of the Wayne County Circuit Court in Detroit. The day-to-day work of contracts, governance, and compliance is handled to keep a company out of that courtroom in the first place.
Knowing the right venue early matters. It sets the deadlines, the filing requirements, and the judges your case will be in front of, and it is one of the first things we sort out for a Detroit client.
You do not need to come to Dearborn to get started. We handle the first consultation by phone or video, meet at the 36th District Court or the Wayne County courthouse on hearing days, and keep you updated directly rather than through a case manager. Our work is done in English and Arabic, which matters for many families across Wayne County.
For the full detail on how we approach these cases, see our Business & Corporate practice page, or call (313) 425-5555 to talk through your situation.

For most small businesses, an LLC is simpler and more tax-flexible. Corporations make sense when you plan to raise outside investment, issue stock, or eventually go public. The choice depends on liability concerns, tax goals, and how the business will be owned and operated. We help clients decide before they file.
Michigan's LARA filing fee is $50 for the Articles of Organization, plus a $25 annual statement fee. Attorney fees for entity formation typically run a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand depending on whether you need a custom operating agreement, EIN setup, and other formation documents.
Most small businesses need at minimum: an operating agreement (for LLCs) or bylaws (for corporations), client/service agreements, vendor agreements, employee or independent contractor agreements, and an NDA template. Industry-specific contracts (commercial leases, supplier agreements, distribution agreements) come up depending on the business model.
