Serving Westland and Wayne County from our Dearborn office, about 20 minutes away.
LegalSolv represents Westland clients in real estate law 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.
Residential and commercial transactions, closings, title disputes, boundary fights, landlord-tenant litigation, and commercial leases.
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.
Deeds, mortgages, and liens on Westland property are recorded with the Wayne County Register of Deeds. Title, boundary, and purchase disputes are heard in the 18th District Court for smaller matters or the Wayne County Circuit Court when the amount or the title question is larger. The closing itself happens at the title company, which is where most problems are caught before they become court cases.
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.

Michigan does not require a real estate attorney for residential closings, but having one is strongly recommended. An attorney reviews the title commitment, purchase agreement, and closing documents to catch defects, liens, and unfavorable contract terms before they become your problem.
Each side pays their own attorney. Buyer-side and seller-side attorneys represent only their client's interests. Title insurance and closing costs are negotiated between the parties, but legal fees are not split.
Most residential transactions are handled on flat fees, ranging from a few hundred dollars for a simple closing review to over a thousand for full representation including contract drafting and negotiation. Commercial deals are typically billed hourly. We discuss pricing at the initial consultation.
