Family law office

In an effort to make divorce a more collaborative – less divisive – process, Max Emmer of Bloomfield Township has opened Emmer Law PLC, 41000 Woodward Avenue, Suite 350 East, Bloomfield Hills. Certified by the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and Michigan Practice Institute, Emmer said his job is to help shepherd clients throughout a difficult process or situation with less pain and discomfort at a reasonable rate. “Yes, divorce is synonymous with anger, anxiety and aggravation. It is also oftentimes mired with sadness, soul-searching and senselessness. But, it doesn’t always have to be,” he said. Emmer thinks of divorces and family law disputes like the dentist office. Is it going to be fun? No. Will it be as bad as clients expect or anticipate? Probably not. He says in cases where collaborative divorce practice is not applicable, his litigation and negotiation skills put his client first, always caring about and prioritizing the well-being and health of any children or dependents involved in a divorce. “Most people need a thoughtful and reasonable advisor,” Emmer said.
