A Full Spectrum of Legal Services for Troy Clients

Troy attracts a sophisticated and diverse client base, and our firm is built to match that. Whether you are a business executive dealing with a high-stakes commercial dispute, a family navigating the emotional and financial complexity of divorce, or a property owner trying to protect a significant real estate investment, our attorneys bring the skill and dedication your situation demands.

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.


No matter the complexity of your legal matter, you will receive the same level of focused attention, thorough preparation, and determined advocacy that has made The Rubinstein Law Firm one of Metro Detroit's most trusted legal resources for over four decades.

Troy Clients Ask, Our Attorneys Answer

Troy is a city of high achievers, and the legal questions its residents bring to our firm reflect the sophistication and complexity of their situations. Here are some of the most common concerns we hear from Troy clients and the direct, informed answers our attorneys provide.

My company is headquartered in Troy and we are facing a breach of contract claim from a former vendor. How should we approach our defense?

Breach of contract claims require a carefully constructed defense strategy from the very beginning, and the steps you take in the early stages of a dispute can significantly affect the outcome.

  • We conduct a thorough review of the contract at issue, the performance history of both parties, and all relevant communications
  • Our attorneys identify every available defense, from technical contractual arguments to factual defenses based on the vendor's own conduct
  • We assess whether counterclaims are warranted and pursue them aggressively when they strengthen your overall position
  • We engage with opposing counsel strategically to pursue resolution on terms that protect your company's interests and reputation

Why this matters: A breach of contract claim handled poorly can result in significant financial liability and damage to business relationships that took years to build. Having experienced commercial litigation counsel from the start changes the trajectory of the case.

Troy has one of the most active commercial real estate markets in Michigan. What legal support do businesses need when leasing or purchasing commercial property here?

Commercial real estate transactions in Troy involve substantial financial commitments and legal complexities that demand careful professional attention at every stage.

  • We review and negotiate commercial lease agreements to make sure the terms are favorable and the obligations are clearly defined
  • Our attorneys conduct due diligence on purchase transactions, reviewing title history, environmental considerations, zoning compliance, and existing encumbrances
  • We address build-out agreements, landlord concession packages, and co-tenancy provisions that are common in commercial leases but often misunderstood
  • Attorney Jan Jeffrey Rubinstein's background as both a licensed attorney and real estate broker gives commercial clients in Troy an unusually well-rounded perspective on their transactions

Why this matters: A commercial real estate commitment in Troy represents a significant investment of capital and operational resources. The legal terms of that commitment deserve expert attention before you are bound by them.

I am a Troy executive going through a divorce with a complex compensation package including stock options and deferred income. How does your firm handle these situations?

High-income divorces involving non-traditional compensation structures require a level of financial and legal sophistication that goes well beyond standard asset division proceedings.

  • We work with financial experts to properly value stock options, restricted stock units, deferred compensation plans, and executive benefit packages
  • Our attorneys understand how Michigan courts treat these assets and advocate for treatment that accurately reflects their true value
  • We address the tax implications of various division approaches to make sure the net outcome reflects what you are actually receiving
  • We pursue fair spousal support determinations that account for the full picture of both parties' financial situations

Why this matters: Executive compensation packages are among the most complex assets in a high-income divorce. Getting the valuation and division right requires attorneys who have handled these situations before and know exactly what to look for.

Several of my Troy-based employees have approached me about workplace harassment claims. How should I handle this as a business owner?

Workplace harassment claims require immediate attention, careful documentation, and a legally sound response strategy that protects both the affected employees and the business itself.

  • We advise on your obligations under Michigan and federal law regarding investigation, documentation, and response to harassment complaints
  • Our attorneys help you conduct or oversee an appropriate internal investigation that meets legal standards
  • We evaluate your existing policies and procedures and recommend improvements that reduce future liability
  • If claims escalate to litigation or agency proceedings, we represent your business with a well-prepared and thoroughly documented defense

Why this matters: How a business responds to harassment claims in the early stages often determines whether the matter is resolved internally or becomes a costly and public legal dispute. Proactive legal guidance makes a critical difference.

I own residential rental properties in Troy and a tenant is claiming my property has habitability issues as a reason to withhold rent. Is that allowed under Michigan law?

Michigan law does provide tenants with certain remedies related to habitability, but those remedies have specific requirements and limitations that are important to understand.

  • We review the nature of the claimed habitability issues and assess whether they meet the legal threshold under Michigan's landlord-tenant statutes
  • Our attorneys advise on the proper procedures for addressing legitimate maintenance concerns while protecting your right to collect rent
  • We represent you in any court proceedings related to the habitability claim or the associated rent dispute
  • We also review your lease agreement to make sure it adequately addresses maintenance responsibilities and tenant obligations going forward

Why this matters: Habitability claims are sometimes used strategically by tenants to avoid paying rent. Understanding the law and responding correctly protects your income and your property investment.

I was injured in a parking lot accident at a Troy shopping center. The property management company is claiming they are not responsible. What are my options?

Premises liability claims against commercial property owners in Michigan require establishing specific legal elements, and a denial of responsibility from the property manager is just the beginning of the conversation.

  • We investigate the circumstances of your injury, including the condition of the property, any prior complaints or incidents, and the property owner's maintenance records
  • Our attorneys assess whether the dangerous condition was open and obvious under Michigan law, which affects the analysis but does not automatically eliminate your claim
  • We identify all potentially liable parties, which in a commercial property situation may include the property owner, management company, and individual tenants
  • We pursue full compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any lasting impact on your daily life

Why this matters: Commercial property owners and their insurers have experienced legal teams working to minimize liability from the moment an incident occurs. You deserve equally experienced representation working just as hard in your corner.

Our family has lived in Troy for over 20 years and we need to update our estate plan. Does your firm handle estate planning matters?

While estate planning is not one of our primary practice areas, our firm regularly assists clients with the legal matters that intersect with estate and asset planning, particularly in the context of business succession and real estate.

  • We advise business owners on legal structures and agreements that support smooth ownership transitions
  • Our real estate attorneys assist with property transfers, title matters, and ownership structure questions that often arise in estate planning contexts
  • We are happy to refer clients to trusted estate planning specialists within our professional network when comprehensive estate planning services are needed
  • We coordinate with those professionals when our practice areas overlap to make sure clients receive seamless legal support

Why this matters: A well-coordinated approach to legal matters across practice areas ensures nothing falls through the cracks and your family's assets are protected the way you intend.
