(Main Office)

Strobl & Sharp, P.C. is a leading Southeast Michigan law firm that counsels clients with a high level of experienced, personalized service. We have the resources to provide comprehensive services that meet the diverse needs of our clients. At the same time, we carefully maintain the size and nature of our firm to ensure that clients remain closely connected to the experienced, tested attorneys who form the core of our practice.

Through our offices in Bloomfield Hills and Sandusky, Michigan, we serve a broad cross-section of business, commercial, government and individual interests. Our clients include both national and international companies in a broad range of practice areas .

Although Strobl & Sharp P.C. originated in 1989 as a traditional business law firm, the demand for quality litigation has led to dramatic growth in our representation of clients in most areas of modern civil litigation. Strobl & Sharp P.C. presently represents clients in cases ranging from simple tort and business matters to the most complex commercial litigation. Our present litigation practice involves federal and state actions in Michigan and throughout the Midwest. We routinely appear in both trial and appellate courts.

Commitment to Service

Our mission is to provide the highest quality legal services possible - promptly, efficiently, and uniquely tailored to each client's specific needs. Our attorneys appreciate the importance of personalized attorney-client relationships. We match the specific needs of our clients with the attorneys most qualified to help them.

We believe that careful planning, teamwork, involvement and constant communication with clients are the key principles of successful legal representation. We recognize that the successful resolution of legal issues, whether in transactions or litigation, is dependent upon sharing information, fully discussing problem areas with our clients and working together to develop successful strategies and tactics.

Commitment to Excellence

We take pride in our commitment to excellence. Most of our attorneys have been members of larger law firms or corporate legal departments, where the pace and complexity of work provide invaluable experience.

As a result, we offer a level of expertise and sophistication that may not be typical of other firms our size. Because the law is ever-changing, we understand the need for continuing legal education and we make it a priority. Above all, we realize that a commitment to excellence requires unending effort, and we bring that essential philosophy to every client we serve.
