Serving Westland and Wayne County from our Dearborn office, about 20 minutes away.
LegalSolv represents Westland clients in commercial litigation matters. Westland is one of the largest suburbs in Wayne County, served locally by the 18th District Court on Ford Road. Because our office is about 20 minutes away in Dearborn, you get a Wayne County firm that knows the local courts and procedures without a long drive across Metro Detroit.
Breach of contract, business disputes, partnership fights, fraud, and complex commercial cases.
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.
Business and civil disputes involving Westland parties are litigated in the Wayne County Circuit Court in Detroit. Complex commercial matters that meet the statutory threshold are assigned to the court's specialized Business Court, which runs a dedicated docket. Smaller money claims can be heard in the 18th District Court closer to home.
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 Westland client.
You do not need to come to Dearborn to get started. We handle the first consultation by phone or video, meet at the 18th 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 Commercial Litigation practice page, or call (313) 425-5555 to talk through your situation.

Most cases run 12 to 24 months from filing to trial, though many settle earlier. Simple cases with limited discovery can resolve in under a year; complex commercial disputes with experts and large document productions can run longer. Federal cases are typically slower than state court.
Six years for written contracts under MCL 600.5807. The clock generally starts at the date of the breach, not the date of discovery. Other commercial claims carry different limitations periods. Fraud is six years, employment claims are typically three, and tortious interference depends on the underlying tort.
No. The majority of commercial cases settle before trial, often well over 90%. Settlement happens through direct negotiation, mediation, or after summary disposition motions narrow the issues. Trial is the exception, not the rule. The firm you hire still needs to be one that can credibly try the case if settlement does not materialize.
