The firm operates as a full-service legal practice with 60+ attorneys organized across 36+ practice areas, delivering representation through three Michigan offices in Troy (Southeast Michigan), Okemos/Lansing (Mid-Michigan), and Munising (Upper Peninsula). Service lines span estate planning, litigation, medical malpractice defense, family law, municipal and government law, healthcare law, business law and commercial transactions, education law, real estate, and workers' compensation.

The firm generates revenue primarily through traditional hourly billing and contingency fee arrangements, augmented by retainer and trust accounts processed through LawPay secure payment infrastructure.

The go-to-market is relationship-driven, anchored by attorneys serving as city attorneys and general counsel for more than 150 Michigan municipalities, supplemented by educational workshops, attorney thought leadership through published articles, bar association participation, and earned media.

Primary customer segments are municipalities and government entities (cities, counties, townships, villages), healthcare providers (hospitals, physicians, health systems), school districts and universities, and privately-held businesses, with a secondary segment in high-net-worth individuals and families for estate planning. The firm has sustained Tier 1 rankings from U.S. News – Best Lawyers in 11 practice areas for 12 consecutive years and is privately governed by a board of equity partners under President William H. Heritage III.
