Margaret A. Cotant

I have been litigating cases for 28 years. I am a family law attorney. 97% of my clients have been women. I specialize in representing clients in high conflict cases, including cases with complex marital estates involving high assets; difficult to value businesses; spouses who are attempting to conceal assets; cases with prenuptial agreements. I also specialize in high conflict custody cases, particularly those involving parental alienation or change of domicile. I have represented more victims of domestic violence than most attorneys & I WILL NOT let you be taken advantage of or abused again by the Court. I have tried family law cases all over the State of Michigan & have worked with some of the best experts around. I only try cases that cannot be settled. I can be your parenting time coordinator or help you settle your case.
I also practice juvenile law, act as a Guardian ad Litem for minors, so call me if your son/daughter is in trouble.
I also have many years of defending personal injury suits. I can represent HOMEOWNERS or your CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION if you are being sued by an individual or an association member-even if you’ve been assigned an attorney by your insurance company-you need INDEPENDENT ADVICE. That attorney wasn’t hired by you & doesn’t report to you.
I am a tenacious advocate. I have passion. I take my oath I took in 1992 as seriously today as I did then. Ask most attorneys if they even remember it. I treat every client like they are my most important.
