About Gary R. Lazar, Attorney in Southeast Michigan
Gary R. Lazar opened his law office in Warren in January 1994, the year after he earned his law degree. He has run it ever since as a general practice, which means the people who walk through the door bring very different problems. One client has been charged with OWI. Another is trying to sort out a contract dispute. A third was hurt in a crash on the way to work. Gary takes on each of those matters himself.
That last point is the heart of how the Law Office of Gary R. Lazar operates. There is no layer of staff between you and your lawyer. When you call, you talk to Gary. When your case moves forward, he is the one moving it.
Education
Gary's academic path ran from East Lansing to England and back to Detroit:
- Michigan State University - B.A. in Social Science East Lansing, Michigan May, 1970
- Cambridge University Law School - 1992 Cambridge, England
- MSU/Detroit College of Law - J.D., 1993 Detroit, Michigan
His undergraduate work in social science and his time at Cambridge came well before he opened his own office, and both shaped how he approaches people and problems in a courtroom setting.
A Practice Rooted in Warren
From the start, the office has covered criminal, DUI, traffic, business, and entertainment law. Over the years that work has grown to include accident and injury claims and bankruptcy. Gary has handled bankruptcy cases for the past 20 years and has come to know the local courts and their personnel.
Clients facing charges often come in through criminal defense representation or a drunk driving case, while owners of companies tend to start with business law counsel. Whatever brings someone in, the work happens out of the same Warren office, for clients from around Metro Detroit.
How Gary Works With Clients
The firm describes itself in three words: dedicated, honest, experienced. In practice, that looks like a few consistent habits.
Gary listens to the whole story before giving advice. He explains the options in plain terms, including the ones you may not want to hear. He stays with the case from the first phone call through the final step, whether that ends in a negotiated agreement, a settlement, or a courtroom.
A general practice also has a practical advantage. Legal problems rarely stay in one lane. A car accident can lead to a traffic citation and an injury claim at the same time. A business dispute can raise questions about debt. Having one attorney who handles several areas means you do not have to start over with a new lawyer each time a related issue comes up.
