Galloway and Collens has been my go-to law firm in the Detroit Metro area for years. Pleasant and easy to deal with, my experience with each of their attorneys has always been very good. They've helped me with various real estate issues such as title changes, land contract forfeitures, and now property management issues. Best of all they are very responsive and reasonably priced. I highly recommend.
