Comprehensive Legal Services Matched to the Needs of Wixom Clients

From family matters that require sensitivity and skill to business disputes that demand aggressive advocacy, our firm handles the full spectrum of legal challenges that Wixom residents and business owners encounter. Every case receives the same level of thorough preparation and personal investment regardless of its size or complexity.

Business and Commercial Litigation

Running a business means accepting a certain level of risk, but legal disputes do not have to derail everything you have built. Our attorneys bring decades of commercial litigation experience to every business conflict we handle, whether it involves a broken partnership, a vendor who failed to deliver, or a competitor engaging in unfair practices. We evaluate your situation honestly, pursue resolution strategically, and fight hard when the courtroom becomes necessary.

Contract Drafting and Review

Contracts are only as good as the language inside them, and vague or one-sided agreements have a way of creating expensive problems at the worst possible time. Our attorneys approach contract work with a detail-oriented mindset, drafting agreements that leave nothing open to interpretation and reviewing existing contracts to identify terms that could put you at a disadvantage. We make sure your agreements reflect your intentions and protect your interests completely.

Employment and Contract Disputes

Employment relationships are built on agreements, expectations, and trust, and when any of those breaks down, the legal fallout can be significant for everyone involved. Our attorneys represent both employers and employees in a wide range of workplace legal matters, bringing a practical and results-driven approach to disputes involving termination, compensation, restrictive covenants, and contractual obligations that one party has failed to honor.

Real Estate Closings and Title Matters

Behind every real estate transaction is a stack of documents, deadlines, and potential complications that most buyers and sellers are not equipped to navigate alone. Our firm provides thorough legal oversight throughout the closing process, reviewing every document with a critical eye and making sure title issues, liens, and encumbrances are identified and resolved before they become your problem after the fact.

Landlord and Tenant Conflicts and Evictions

Property ownership and tenancy both come with legal rights and responsibilities that are easy to overlook until a dispute makes them impossible to ignore. Our attorneys represent landlords dealing with non-payment, lease violations, and difficult eviction proceedings, as well as tenants whose rights have been disregarded by property owners. We apply Michigan landlord-tenant law with precision to protect whichever side of the relationship you are on.

Property Sales and Development

Real estate transactions and development projects require legal attention at every stage, not just at closing. Our attorneys work alongside clients from the earliest stages of a property deal through final execution, reviewing agreements, resolving title complications, advising on development regulations, and making sure that every party to the transaction is held to the terms they agreed to. We protect your investment at every step of the process.

Family Law Representation for Divorce and Child Custody

Divorce changes everything, and the decisions made during the process have consequences that can last for decades. Our family law attorneys bring both legal skill and genuine empathy to every case, helping clients navigate divorce and custody proceedings with a clear understanding of their rights and a realistic picture of what to expect. We fight for outcomes that are fair, practical, and built with your children's wellbeing as the central priority.

Parenting Time and Child Support Modifications

When a custody or support arrangement no longer reflects the reality of your life, continuing to operate under outdated terms is neither fair nor practical. Our attorneys help clients identify the legal grounds for modification, gather the documentation needed to support their request, and navigate the Michigan court system with confidence. Whether you are seeking a change or defending against one, we advocate firmly for an outcome that makes sense.

Asset Division and Spousal Support

Dividing a life built together is never simple, and the financial stakes in asset division proceedings can be significant. Our attorneys approach each case with a thorough review of all marital property, from real estate and bank accounts to business ownership interests and retirement assets. We advocate for fair division under Michigan law and handle spousal support negotiations with the same level of financial rigor and legal precision.

Civil Litigation and Collections

Unpaid debts and unresolved financial disputes have a way of compounding over time, and waiting rarely improves the situation. Our attorneys pursue collections and civil litigation matters with a sense of urgency and a clear focus on recovering what our clients are owed. We handle every stage of the process, from initial demand through judgment enforcement, and we do not stop pushing until we have exhausted every available legal remedy.

Construction and Contractor Disputes

A construction dispute can bring a project to a standstill and put a significant financial investment at serious risk. Whether you are a property owner dealing with a contractor who abandoned the job or delivered substandard work, or a contractor facing an unjustified refusal to pay, our attorneys know how to cut through the complexity and pursue a resolution efficiently. We handle mechanic's liens, contract claims, and construction defect matters with the experience these cases demand.

Personal Injury and Negligence Claims

The aftermath of a serious injury caused by someone else's negligence can feel completely overwhelming, especially when you are simultaneously dealing with medical treatment, lost income, and insurance companies that are not on your side. Our attorneys take those burdens off your plate by managing the entire legal process on your behalf, building a thorough and well-documented case for the compensation you are entitled to and pursuing it without hesitation.


Every client who works with our firm receives the full weight of our experience, our preparation, and our unwavering commitment to results, regardless of the nature or complexity of their legal matter.

The Kind of Firm That Earns Trust Rather Than Just Claiming It

There is a difference between a law firm that talks about client service and one that actually delivers it consistently over four decades of practice. The Rubinstein Law Firm has built its reputation the hard way, through results, through relationships, and through a standard of integrity that every member of our team upholds on every case.

Founding attorney Jan Jeffrey Rubinstein is licensed to practice law in Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania, and holds admissions in multiple federal courts across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court. Wixom clients whose legal matters involve out-of-state parties, federal proceedings, or multi-jurisdictional complexity have a firm in their corner that is equipped to follow their case wherever it leads.

We believe the best measure of a law firm is not how it describes itself but how its clients describe it after the work is done.

The Legal Questions Wixom Residents Bring to Our Office

Wixom is a community in motion, and the legal questions its residents ask reflect a wide range of real-life situations. Here are some of the matters our Wixom clients raise most frequently, along with the honest and informed answers our attorneys provide.

I own a manufacturing business in Wixom and a former business partner is claiming ownership of intellectual property we developed together. How do we handle this?

Intellectual property disputes between former business partners can be among the most complex and financially consequential commercial conflicts a business owner faces.

  • We review all agreements, correspondence, and documentation related to the development of the intellectual property in question
  • Our attorneys assess ownership rights based on the terms of any existing agreements and the factual circumstances of the development process
  • We pursue protective measures immediately to prevent unauthorized use of the disputed property while the legal matter is being resolved
  • We develop a litigation or negotiation strategy aimed at establishing clear ownership and recovering any damages caused by the dispute

Why this matters: Intellectual property is often among the most valuable assets a business owns. Protecting it requires attorneys who act quickly and strategically from the very beginning of a dispute.

Wixom has seen a lot of new residential development. What should first-time homebuyers know about protecting themselves legally during the purchase process?

Buying a newly constructed home in a developing community like Wixom comes with a specific set of legal considerations that first-time buyers are often not fully prepared for.

  • New construction contracts are typically drafted by the builder and heavily favor the developer, making independent legal review essential before signing
  • We review builder warranties, punch list procedures, and dispute resolution clauses to make sure you have adequate protection if problems arise after closing
  • Our attorneys examine title commitments and homeowner association documents that can impose ongoing obligations and restrictions on your property
  • Attorney Jan Jeffrey Rubinstein's combined background in law and real estate brokerage gives first-time buyers a uniquely comprehensive source of guidance throughout the transaction

Why this matters: A new home purchase is one of the largest financial commitments most people ever make. Understanding exactly what you are signing before you sign it is not optional. It is essential.

I have been offered a severance package by my employer in Wixom. Should I sign it without having an attorney review it first?

Severance agreements almost always contain provisions that significantly affect your legal rights, and signing without legal review is a risk that rarely makes sense given what is at stake.

  • We review severance agreements for release of claims language, non-disparagement provisions, non-compete restrictions, and other terms that could limit your future options
  • Our attorneys assess whether the compensation being offered is fair given your tenure, position, and the circumstances of your departure
  • We identify any provisions that warrant negotiation and advise you on whether pushing back is likely to be productive
  • We make sure you fully understand every obligation you are accepting before you put your signature on anything

Why this matters: Once you sign a severance agreement, you generally cannot undo it. Having an attorney review the document first costs far less than the rights you might be giving up by signing blindly.

My ex-spouse has recently remarried and wants to relocate out of state with our children. Do I have any legal recourse to prevent this?

Parental relocation disputes are among the most emotionally charged and legally complex family law matters, and Michigan courts apply specific standards when evaluating whether a relocation should be permitted.

  • We explain the legal framework Michigan courts use to evaluate relocation requests, including the factors that favor and disfavor approval
  • Our attorneys file the appropriate objections and motions to initiate the formal legal process for contesting the proposed move
  • We gather evidence and build a compelling case focused on how the relocation would affect your relationship with your children and their overall wellbeing
  • We represent you throughout the hearing process with thorough preparation and focused advocacy on your behalf and your children's behalf

Why this matters: A relocation that is approved without challenge can permanently alter your relationship with your children. Acting quickly with experienced family law counsel gives you the strongest possible position in this fight.

I recently hired a contractor to renovate my Wixom home and they have abandoned the project halfway through after taking a significant deposit. What can I do?

Contractor abandonment is unfortunately a common problem, and Michigan law provides property owners with several avenues for recovering their losses and completing their projects.

  • We review your contract, payment records, and any communications with the contractor to assess the full scope of your legal claims
  • Our attorneys send formal demand communications that sometimes prompt resolution without the need for court proceedings
  • We pursue litigation to recover your deposit, the cost of completing the work, and any additional damages caused by the abandonment
  • We also address any mechanics lien issues that may arise if the contractor or subcontractors attempt to file liens against your property

    • Why this matters: Being left with an unfinished renovation and a missing contractor is stressful and expensive. Our attorneys move quickly to hold the contractor accountable and help you get your project back on track.

I slipped and fell in a Wixom parking lot during winter and suffered a serious injury. Does Michigan law protect me in this situation?

Winter premises liability claims in Michigan involve specific legal considerations, particularly around the open and obvious doctrine, which property owners frequently invoke as a defense.

  • We analyze the specific conditions that caused your fall, including whether the hazard was adequately addressed given the property owner's duty of care
  • Our attorneys evaluate whether exceptions to the open and obvious doctrine apply to your situation, which can significantly affect the strength of your claim
  • We document your injuries and their impact thoroughly, building the most complete picture possible of the damages you have suffered
  • We handle all interactions with the property owner and their insurance carrier so you can focus on your recovery rather than the legal battle

Why this matters: Winter slip and fall claims in Michigan are legally nuanced, and property owners and their insurers know how to use that complexity to their advantage. Having an experienced attorney on your side levels the playing field.

What is the benefit of working with a Metro Detroit firm like The Rubinstein Law Firm rather than searching for the lowest-cost legal option available online?

The decision to hire legal representation is one of the most consequential choices you can make when facing a serious legal matter, and price alone is rarely the right basis for that decision.

  • Online legal services and low-cost providers typically offer standardized documents and limited guidance that may not account for the specific requirements of Michigan law or the unique facts of your situation
  • At The Rubinstein Law Firm, every matter is handled by experienced attorneys who know Michigan law, know the local courts, and know how to build a strategy around your specific circumstances
  • The cost of inadequate legal representation almost always exceeds the savings from choosing it, particularly when the outcome of your case has long-term financial or personal consequences
  • Our firm offers transparent fee discussions during your free initial consultation so you can make an informed decision with a complete understanding of what experienced representation actually costs

Why this matters: Legal outcomes have lasting consequences. The quality of the representation you choose today shapes what your life looks like on the other side of your legal matter. We think that is worth investing in.
