A consummate professional who delivered a complex real estate solution

When our commercial property purchase in Detroit became entangled with unforeseen water rights and environmental compliance issues, we needed an attorney with deep, multifaceted expertise. Nyal Deems was precisely that. His 34 years of general practice experience, particularly his recognized proficiency in real estate and water law, proved invaluable. He navigated the complexities with a calm, strategic approach, clearly explaining each step while leveraging his extensive knowledge of Michigan regulations. The 2011 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition was clearly well-earned. Thanks to Mr. Deems's diligence and professionalism at Varnum, we closed successfully and with complete confidence in the transaction's integrity. An exceptional outcome.
