A formidable advocate in complex commercial litigation

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-party commercial dispute that threatened significant financial exposure and operational disruption. After consulting with several firms, we engaged Scott Petz at Dickinson Wright, a decision that proved to be our most strategic one. Scott's deep, 18-year background in commercial and business litigation was immediately evident. He didn't just react to the opposing counsel's motions; he crafted a proactive, nuanced strategy that leveraged his recognized expertise in both commercial litigation and class actions, anticipating their arguments before they were fully formed. His command of the procedural complexities, combined with a sharp focus on our core business objectives, was exceptional. Throughout the arduous process, Scott maintained a level of professionalism and clear communication that kept our leadership team informed and confident. The matter was resolved through a negotiated settlement that far exceeded our internal expectations, protecting our assets and reputation entirely. It's clear why he has earned recognition in his field. For any Michigan business navigating treacherous legal waters, particularly in commercial disputes or potential class action defense, Scott Petz is an invaluable resource and a truly outstanding attorney.
