A trusted advisor for our small business

Our family-owned hardware store in Manistee faced a complex zoning issue when we wanted to expand our parking lot. The local ordinances were a maze, and we needed someone who understood both the law and our community. Richard Wilson was exactly that person. His deep experience in municipal and land use law, which his recognition in those fields clearly reflects, was invaluable. He navigated the planning commission process with a calm, strategic approach that put us at ease. We appreciated his perspective, which felt informed by his broad educational background and nearly five decades of practice. The outcome was exactly what we needed. While communication could occasionally have been a bit quicker during the busiest weeks, the quality of his counsel was never in question. We highly recommend Mr. Wilson for any business or property matter in the area.
