Family Law

Divorce
Family law and divorce: When your family situation changes and you need the help of an experienced and compassionate legal counsel, call our experienced Mid-Michigan family law attorneys. We will help you sort through your options and develop a strategy for a cost-effective and timely resolution of your most personal matters.
Child Custody and Visitation
Many divorcing parents are able to reach an agreement with regard to custody and visitation issues. However, when custody is in dispute, the case can be much more complex. For example, custody disputes can be particularly complex and contentious when one parent wishes to relocate with the child.
Guardianship
I would like to provide an overview of guardianships and conservatorships for adults. There are also guardianships and conservatorships which are established for minors and individuals with developmental disabilities; however, they will not be addressed in this newsletter. The purpose of this newsletter is to provide information and a general understanding of how guardians and conservators for adults are appointed. If a client, however, has a Durable Financial Power of Attorney and a Healthcare Power of Attorney, these court proceedings can be avoided.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
If you were arrested and are facing criminal charges, you likely have many questions about the process and your legal rights. Our experienced criminal defense attorney can guide you through the process, making sure that you fully understand the alleged charges, as well as your legal rights and options.
DUI/DWI
Whether you have been arrested for your first DUI or you are facing the possibility of a prison sentence, the attorneys at Smith Bovill are dedicated to protecting your rights. Contact our Mid-Michigan criminal defense attorneys to discuss your criminal law concerns and to schedule an appointment today.
Wrongful Death
Misdemeanors
Before you accept any plea offer, talk with an attorney who has your best interests in mind. A guilty plea to even a small crime such as a misdemeanor can have serious consequences in other areas of your life. The prosecutor’s office will not take the time to know the full extent of how a “deal” could impact other areas of your life.
Drug Crimes
Assault

Employment Law

Wrongful Termination
Michigan is considered an “at-will” employment state. This means, absent a contract stating otherwise, the employment can be terminated by either the employer or the employee at any time, for any or no reason at all. There are, however, a few exceptions to the at-will employment model where termination of an employee can constitute a wrongful termination.
Employment Contract
“Wrongful termination” refers to an employer terminating an employee for reasons deemed illegal. Exceptions to Michigan’s at-will employment concept include breach of contract, discrimination, and the violation of public policy. The first two exceptions are fairly straight forward. First, a breach of contract exception is when an employer breaches the employment contract when terminating the employee. This often means a procedural or substantive protection the employee possessed while employed was not honored by the employer such as the right to notice, the right to remedy certain issues relating to the employee’s continued employment, etc.

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
Andrew D. Concannon and John E. Gannon practice in the areas of business and corporate law, civil litigation, labor and employment law, real estate law, and wrongful termination at SMITH BOVILL, P.C. These articles are intended to introduce various issues arising within this field of practice and are not intended to replace individual legal advice. If you have questions, please contact Andrew or John at the firm’s Saginaw office.
Construction Litigation
Real Estate Transactions
We regularly represent buyers, sellers, developers, borrowers and lenders. Our clients range from individuals, corporations and limited liability companies and joint ventures, to municipalities and public authorities in all phases of the real estate transaction, including purchases and sales, property development, financing, construction, and zoning.

Land Use and Zoning
Smith Bovill has expanded its services in the Energy area in order to meet the needs of its diverse client base. In addition to oil and gas exploration, Mid- and Northern Michigan, including the Thumb, has experienced more interest in renewable energy, particularly Wind generation. In addition to stand-alone wind turbines, Michigan has become a popular area for Wind Farms. Solar farms have also begun developing in the Mid-Michigan area, posing new land use issues to owners of agricultural properties.

Health Law

Personal Injury
The damages available in a personal injury case will depend on the extent of the injury, and other factors such as...
Medical Malpractice
When a doctor, hospital, or other medical provider has harmed you through negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. However, pursuing a medical malpractice claim in Michigan is extremely complicated. Therefore, it is in your best interest to retain an experienced medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible.
Auto Accidents
Medicaid Planning
The firm continues to counsel clients on elder law and Medicaid planning issues regularly as part of its estate planning, probate, and trust administration practice. This letter, as well as all prior letters, are posted on our website at www.smithbovill.com. Please check our web site for any updates to the newsletter and additional information regarding elder law. This letter, and the information on our web site, is intended to be for informational purposes only. As a result of the constantly changing laws in the Medicaid area, the information provided may change. I would be pleased to discuss this, or any other Medicaid or elder law issues, in more detail.

Trusts
Sometimes there is a child or beneficiary with a disability who is unable to receive an outright distribution, either due to their inability to manage the inheritance, or due to the government benefits they are receiving. A Special Needs Trust is designed to supplement, but not replace, any government benefits that a disabled person is receiving. A Special Needs Trust can provide money for the extras that the person may need, or that may have been provided during a person’s lifetime.
Power of Attorney
It is important to discuss with clients whether they have both the Durable Financial Power of Attorney and Healthcare Power of Attorney as part of their estate plan to avoid this probate process.
Probate

Finance Law

Bankruptcy
Foreclosure
Lending, Security Interests and Foreclosure: Smith Bovill advises clients with respect to the avoidance of environmental liability in connection with the lending of money and the taking of real or personal property as security.
Tax Law
The 2013 change resulted in 2 major developments that essentially eliminate the need for separate “his and her” trusts in most cases. First, the exemption equivalent is now permanently (as permanent as anything gets in Washington, anyway) set at $5 million per person. Even better, this number has been indexed for inflation (currently $5.4 million). This means in most cases, clients’ estates are not large enough anymore to need tax planning. This is especially true with married couples, whose combined estates must now exceed $10.8 million in order to be impacted by estate taxes.
