Faith Gaudaen

My forte is managing conflict and guiding my clients to resolution whether through the courts, arbitration, mediation or other conflict resolution. I have represented business owners in dispute, assisted families in disagreement over wills and trusts and coached companies through hiring, firing, and a host of other employment issues. Business and Employment Conflict: I help companies from the start of operation, through day-to-day maintenance issues, and I resolve any conflicts that arise along the way. In addition, I handle real estate matters such as contract negotiation, tax foreclosure, landlord/tenant conflicts and zoning issues. For instance: I “first chaired” a complex dispute between members of a limited liability company and obtained a “no cause” verdict, relieving my client of a one million dollar claim. Disputes over Wills, Trusts and Elder Care: As families grow older, it is not uncommon for disagreements to arise among relatives over elder care and will/trust administration. I am experienced in handling these significant emotional and financial concerns. I guide families and individuals through the legal process to optimal conclusion. I was recently selected as a “Rising Star” in the real estate practice by Michigan Super Lawyers magazine which features the top 5% of attorneys in Michigan.
