Housed in the Buhl Building
The firm's Detroit operations are based on the 18th Floor of the Buhl Building, one of the city's most cherished architectural landmarks.

The location places the firm at the center of Detroit's legal community, directly across from the Guardian Building and steps from the federal courts.
