Natalie Alane was excellent counsel during one of the most difficult times in my life. Alane provides wisdom, empathy and a dynamism that is constantly thinking about and advocating for her client. It's remarkable to watch. And really gratifying to have on your side. When I was researching attorneys, I called friends and colleagues to see who they recommended, and word of mouth for Alane (and team) was very positive. I heard recommendations like, "She doesn't just practice family law, she writes it," and "she's a pro--somebody that will have your back." At my first meeting with Alane, I felt heard, empowered, and supported by a team of experienced people. I was glad to find help that made me feel like my best interests were always put first. They were so supportive as I was nursing my father through months of cancer treatment during the divorce as well... Their kindness meant the world to me. From showing up at mediation with extra pencils, two calculators and reams of documentation, to creating comprehensive charts and combing through paperwork in the wee hours and weekends to tell my story, Alane was always double-prepared and did thorough research. Her expertise and ability to think of the fly is is also impressive. In trial, it was remarkable to see her at work--she's sharp, tenacious and insightful. While no attorney can guarantee a legal outcome (that's up to the judge,) I always felt confident in Alane's abilities. In the end, I was very satisfied with the fair outcome of the divorce and am delighted to know there's such an excellent legal resource of sharp, caring people here in Lansing. Highly, highly recommended.
