Precision Legal Counsel for the Discerning Clients of Bingham Farms, MI

Bingham Farms occupies a unique position in Oakland County. It is one of Michigan's smallest municipalities by land area yet one of its most professionally concentrated, home to a dense cluster of law offices, financial services firms, medical practices, and corporate headquarters that have chosen this address deliberately. The professionals and business owners who work and live here operate at a high level and expect the same from the advisors and attorneys they trust with their most important matters.

The Rubinstein Law Firm has been serving the Metro Detroit professional and business community for more than 40 years. Our practice has always attracted clients who value substance over style, attorneys who prepare thoroughly, communicate directly, and pursue outcomes with genuine determination rather than billing hours and generating correspondence. When Bingham Farms clients bring their legal matters to our firm, they receive the full benefit of four decades of sophisticated legal practice delivered with the personal attention that only a committed, client-focused firm can provide.

A Practice Built for the Complexity Bingham Farms Clients Bring

The legal matters that arise in a community as professionally concentrated as Bingham Farms tend to carry layers of complexity that require more than general legal knowledge. Our firm has spent decades developing the depth of expertise across multiple practice areas that allows us to address that complexity with confidence and precision.

Business and Commercial Litigation

When a business dispute reaches the point where legal action becomes unavoidable, the attorney you choose can significantly influence the outcome. Our firm represents businesses across a wide range of industries in commercial litigation matters, from contract breaches and partnership disputes to fraud claims and interference with business relationships. We approach every case with thorough preparation, sound legal strategy, and the commitment to see it through to the best possible resolution.

Contract Drafting and Review

Most legal problems in business can be traced back to a contract that was missing something important. Our attorneys take a proactive approach to contract work, drafting agreements that are comprehensive, clearly written, and structured to hold up under pressure. When reviewing contracts prepared by others, we look past the surface language to find the provisions that could limit your rights, increase your liability, or leave critical issues unaddressed.

Employment and Contract Disputes

The legal issues that arise between employers and employees, or between parties to a broken agreement, require an attorney who understands both the technical aspects of employment law and the practical realities of working relationships. Our attorneys handle these matters with a balanced perspective, pursuing resolution through negotiation when possible and litigation when necessary, always with your best interests as the driving priority.

Real Estate Closings and Title Matters

A real estate transaction gone wrong can result in years of legal disputes, financial loss, and stress that could have been avoided with proper legal oversight from the start. Our attorneys provide comprehensive closing support for buyers, sellers, lenders, and investors, reviewing title commitments, purchase agreements, and closing disclosures with careful attention to detail and flagging any issues that need to be addressed before the transaction moves forward.

Landlord and Tenant Conflicts and Evictions

Navigating a landlord-tenant dispute without legal guidance is a gamble that rarely pays off for either party. Michigan law is specific about the rights and obligations of both property owners and tenants, and failing to follow proper procedures can undermine an otherwise valid legal position. Our attorneys guide clients through lease disputes, habitability complaints, security deposit disagreements, and the eviction process with a steady hand and thorough knowledge of state law.

Property Sales and Development

Buying, selling, or developing real estate involves a web of legal considerations that extends well beyond the purchase price. Our attorneys provide practical legal support throughout the full lifecycle of a property transaction, from initial agreement negotiation through due diligence, title review, and final closing. For development projects, we address zoning, permitting, and contractual issues that can stall progress and increase costs when left unmanaged.

Family Law Representation for Divorce and Child Custody

Ending a marriage is one of the most difficult experiences a person can go through, and the legal process that surrounds it can add to that difficulty when handled poorly. Our family law attorneys bring order and clarity to what often feels like an overwhelming situation, guiding clients through divorce and custody proceedings with honest advice, thoughtful strategy, and a genuine commitment to outcomes that protect both you and your children.

Parenting Time and Child Support Modifications

Custody and support orders are designed to reflect the best interests of children at a specific point in time, but families grow and change in ways that the original order may not anticipate. Our attorneys help clients pursue modifications that reflect current realities, whether that involves a significant income change, a proposed relocation, a shift in a child's needs, or any other circumstance that justifies revisiting the terms of an existing order.

Asset Division and Spousal Support

The financial dimensions of divorce deserve the same level of careful attention as the emotional ones. Our attorneys work methodically through the details of marital finances, identifying all assets subject to division and advocating for arrangements that reflect both the letter of Michigan law and the practical needs of our clients going forward. Spousal support matters are handled with an equal commitment to accuracy, fairness, and long-term financial stability.

Civil Litigation and Collections

When money is owed and informal efforts to recover it have failed, legal action is often the most effective path forward. Our firm handles civil litigation and collections matters with a results-oriented approach, pursuing every available legal avenue to recover what our clients are owed. We manage the process efficiently, keep clients informed at every stage, and pursue enforcement of judgments with the same determination we bring to obtaining them in the first place.

Construction and Contractor Disputes

Construction and renovation projects represent major financial commitments, and when something goes wrong, the consequences can be severe. Our attorneys handle the full range of construction-related legal disputes, including contractor abandonment, defective workmanship, payment disputes, delay claims, and mechanic's lien matters. We move quickly to protect our clients' financial interests and pursue resolutions that minimize further disruption to their projects and their lives.

Personal Injury and Negligence Claims

A serious injury changes your life in ways that go far beyond the physical. Lost income, mounting medical bills, and the long-term impact on your health and quality of life all deserve to be part of any fair compensation claim. Our attorneys handle personal injury and negligence matters with a comprehensive approach, documenting every element of your damages and building the most complete and compelling case possible for the compensation you deserve.


Bingham Farms clients who work with The Rubinstein Law Firm receive legal representation that reflects the sophistication of their situations and the standard they have come to expect from the professionals they trust.

The Depth of Experience That Complex Legal Matters Demand

Bingham Farms is a community where the stakes are often high and the legal matters are rarely simple. The Rubinstein Law Firm has spent more than four decades handling exactly the kind of sophisticated legal challenges that the professionals and business owners based here face regularly.

Founding attorney Jan Jeffrey Rubinstein is licensed to practice in Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania, and holds admissions in multiple federal courts across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court. For Bingham Farms clients whose legal matters cross state lines or enter the federal system, which is a common occurrence given the concentration of multi-state businesses in this community, that breadth of licensure translates directly into better coverage and more seamless representation.

We understand that Bingham Farms clients have options when it comes to legal representation. We work every day to be the option they are glad they chose.

What Distinguishes Our Firm in the Eyes of Bingham Farms Clients:

  • Senior attorney involvement at every stage of every matter, not just at key decision points
  • A practice philosophy that prioritizes substance, preparation, and results over administrative activity

Legal Questions From Bingham Farms Professionals and Business Owners

The legal questions that arise in a community like Bingham Farms reflect the professional sophistication and the high-stakes nature of the matters its residents and business owners navigate. Here are some of the most substantive questions we field from Bingham Farms clients and the direct answers our attorneys provide.

Our firm is based in Bingham Farms and we are considering bringing on an equity partner. What legal protections should we put in place before the partnership begins?

Bringing a new equity partner into an established business is one of the most consequential decisions a business owner can make, and the legal framework surrounding that transition deserves the same level of care as the business decision itself.

  • We draft comprehensive partnership or operating agreements that clearly define each partner's rights, responsibilities, ownership percentage, and exit provisions
  • Our attorneys address capital contribution requirements, profit and loss allocation, decision-making authority, and dispute resolution mechanisms before the partnership begins
  • We build in protections that address what happens if a partner wants to exit, becomes incapacitated, or acts in ways that harm the business
  • We review any existing business agreements that may be affected by the addition of a new partner and make sure all necessary consents and amendments are in place

Why this matters: A partnership entered without a carefully drafted legal framework is an invitation to future conflict. Investing in the right legal structure from the beginning protects the business and the relationship.

I am a Bingham Farms based executive going through a divorce involving a complex compensation structure and significant investment portfolio. How does your firm approach these situations?

High-net-worth divorces involving sophisticated compensation and investment structures require legal counsel with both the financial literacy and the courtroom experience to handle them effectively.

  • We work with forensic accountants and financial experts to develop a complete and accurate picture of all assets subject to division, including deferred compensation, vested and unvested equity awards, and complex investment holdings
  • Our attorneys understand how Michigan courts treat different categories of assets in divorce proceedings and advocate for characterizations and valuations that serve your interests
  • We address the tax consequences of various division approaches, making sure the net outcome of any settlement reflects what you are actually receiving after tax
  • We pursue resolution through negotiation wherever possible to preserve privacy and control over the outcome, while remaining fully prepared to litigate when necessary

Why this matters: In a high-net-worth divorce, the difference between well-prepared legal representation and adequate representation can be measured in significant financial terms. The quality of your attorneys directly affects what your financial future looks like on the other side of the proceedings.

Our Bingham Farms company recently acquired a smaller firm and we are now facing claims from that firm's former clients. How do we manage this exposure?

Post-acquisition liability is one of the more complex areas of business law, and the extent of your exposure depends significantly on how the acquisition was structured and what representations were made during the transaction.

  • We review the acquisition agreement in detail to determine what liabilities were assumed, what were excluded, and what indemnification rights you may have against the selling parties
  • Our attorneys assess the nature and strength of the claims being made against the acquired entity and develop a coordinated defense strategy
  • We pursue indemnification from the selling parties where the acquisition agreement supports it and the claims fall within covered categories
  • We advise on risk management steps going forward that reduce the likelihood of additional post-acquisition claims and protect the value of what you acquired

Why this matters: Post-acquisition disputes can erode the value of a business acquisition quickly if they are not managed with experienced legal counsel from the outset. Acting strategically from the moment claims emerge protects your investment and your business.

I own commercial real estate in and around Bingham Farms and one of my anchor tenants is attempting to break their lease early. What are my legal options?

An anchor tenant attempting to exit a long-term commercial lease early is a serious matter with significant financial implications, and Michigan law provides commercial landlords with meaningful legal remedies in these situations.

  • We review the lease agreement thoroughly to assess the validity of any claimed basis for early termination and identify every remedy available to you as the landlord
  • Our attorneys calculate the full scope of your financial damages, including lost rent, re-leasing costs, and any other losses attributable to the early departure
  • We engage with the tenant and their counsel strategically, pursuing resolution on terms that adequately compensate you for the disruption while exploring whether the tenancy can be preserved on modified terms
  • If litigation becomes necessary, we pursue enforcement of the lease and recovery of damages with thorough preparation and experienced commercial litigation counsel

Why this matters: A commercial lease is a legally binding commitment with real financial value. When a tenant attempts to walk away from that commitment, you have the right to hold them accountable and we know exactly how to do it.

As a professional with a significant online presence, I recently became the target of false and damaging statements made publicly about me and my business. What legal remedies are available?

Defamation and business disparagement claims in Michigan require meeting specific legal standards, but when those standards are met, the law provides meaningful remedies for the harm caused by false statements.

  • We evaluate the statements at issue against Michigan's defamation standards to assess the strength of a potential claim and the likelihood of a successful outcome
  • Our attorneys advise on the critical importance of preserving evidence of the statements and their publication before they are removed or altered
  • We send formal legal demand communications that often result in retractions and resolution without the need for litigation
  • Where litigation is warranted, we pursue claims for reputational harm, business losses, and in appropriate cases, punitive damages against those responsible for the false statements

Why this matters: False statements about a professional or a business can cause damage that spreads quickly and lingers long after the original publication. Acting swiftly with experienced legal counsel is the most effective way to limit the harm and pursue accountability.

I am a physician with a practice in Bingham Farms and I recently discovered that a former employee accessed and potentially disclosed confidential patient information. What are my legal obligations and options?

Healthcare data breaches involving protected health information trigger obligations under both federal and state law that must be addressed promptly and carefully.

  • We advise on your notification obligations under HIPAA and Michigan law, including the timing and content requirements for notifying affected patients and relevant regulatory authorities
  • Our attorneys help you conduct or oversee an appropriate internal investigation to determine the full scope of the breach and document your response for regulatory purposes
  • We address any employment law claims or actions related to the former employee's conduct
  • We develop a legal response strategy that fulfills your compliance obligations while minimizing your exposure to regulatory penalties and civil claims from affected patients

Why this matters: A healthcare data breach that is not handled correctly from the beginning can result in regulatory sanctions, civil liability, and reputational damage that far exceeds the harm from the breach itself. Experienced legal counsel from the outset is essential.

What should Bingham Farms business owners look for when selecting outside legal counsel for ongoing business matters?

Selecting outside legal counsel is a significant business decision, and the criteria that matter most are not always the ones that get the most attention in the selection process.

  • Look for attorneys with demonstrated experience in the specific areas of law most relevant to your business, not generalists who dabble in everything without depth in anything
  • Prioritize responsiveness and direct access to senior attorneys who actually know your business rather than associates who need to be briefed every time you call
  • Seek out firms with a track record of results in situations comparable to yours, and do not hesitate to ask for specifics about relevant experience
  • Consider the firm's multi-jurisdictional reach if your business operates or has relationships across state lines, since coverage gaps can create serious problems at the worst possible times
  • Value transparency in billing and fee structures, because surprises on legal invoices are a sign of a firm that does not prioritize the client relationship the way it should

Why this matters: Outside legal counsel is one of the most important relationships a business maintains. Choosing the right firm from the beginning saves time, money, and the stress of having to change counsel in the middle of a critical matter.
