Ann M. Howard, Attorney at Law, is an experienced, efficient and cost-effective Michigan lawyer who focuses on the following areas of practice:

Real Estate - "For Sale by Owner" is a great idea, but it can also become complicated for those who do not have expertise in real estate. When you are selling your own home without the aid of a realtor (and without having to pay the realtor's commission), it is important to make sure you have all of your legal bases covered. Ann M. Howard is a skilled real estate lawyer who will ensure that the purchase agreement, title research, closing documents and other documents are in order so that you may complete the transaction economically and accurately. Ms. Howard can also assist you in real estate short sales or loan modifications in efforts to avoid foreclosure.

Chapters 7 & 13 Bankruptcy - Declaring bankruptcy can be a confusing and intimidating process. Having a compassionate and professional attorney on your side is immensely helpful. When your debts and obligations become too much to bear, it is best to consult a bankruptcy lawyer who has familiarity with this complex area of the law. Ann M. Howard has been working in the area of bankruptcy for over 10 years. Her knowledge, along with her attentiveness to her clients, make her an indispensable ally. She can help you understand the bankruptcy process, and after evaluating your situation, she can advise you on whether Chapter 13 bankruptcy or Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a more appropriate option to meet your needs.

Divorce - When two people can no longer remain married, the partnership does not simply end. Divorce is a long process, but Ann M. Howard's efficient and ethical approach can make divorce a less difficult and more cost-effective process. With considerations like asset valuation, property division, debt allocation and spousal support, an experienced lawyer is invaluable. In addition to possessing a deep understanding of Michigan's divorce laws, Ann Howard is responsive and caring.

Probate and Estates - Ann M. Howard, working with associate attorney Anita DeHarde, understands that navigating through the complicated probate process, while often necessary, can be challenging. By explaining the procedures and efficiently communicating with clients, Ms. Howard and Ms. DeHarde make this area of the law less daunting and more accessible.
