For the clients and their businesses that Michigan attorney Daniel Shemke works with, he combs through incoming information with a specific eye for detail. He analyzes and projects the potential consequences of the various provisions within a document or case, and place that in the context of the situation at hand. As Dan says, “I help my clients understand what a situation might mean down the road if facts develop in a certain way, or if the relationship goes awry. Once I explain what the problems are, even (what seems like) simple stuff can be more than clients first expect as they read an agreement on their own.”
