Rachael W. Roseman

A Trusted Advisor Through Complex Family and Business Matters

When our family faced a difficult and emotionally charged dispute over my late father's estate, which was complicated by his ownership stake in a small manufacturing business, we were fortunate to engage Rachael Roseman. Her dual recognition in both Trusts and Estates litigation and Commercial Litigation proved to be exactly the expertise we needed. Rachael navigated the intersection of probate court and potential business dissolution threats with remarkable skill. She was not only a sharp legal strategist but also a compassionate guide who understood the personal toll such conflicts take. Her professionalism from our first meeting at Bodman's Grand Rapids office set the tone; she was thoroughly prepared, clearly explained every option and risk, and never resorted to legalese. Rachael's approach was both firm in protecting our interests and pragmatic in seeking a resolution that avoided a protracted public court battle. The settlement she negotiated preserved critical family relationships and provided a clear path forward for the business. Her Best Lawyers recognition is well-deserved, reflecting a depth of knowledge we experienced firsthand. I recommend her without reservation to anyone needing counsel in these interconnected areas of law.
