Primerus Firm

Demorest Law Firm is an active member of Primerus (The International Society of Primerus Law Firms).


Primerus makes Demorest Law Firm much more than a 6-lawyer Michigan firm.

If Primerus were a single law firm, it would be the 4th largest firm in the world.


Each of the Primerus lawyers adds to the strength of our law firm in 3 ways:


     1.  They are available to help us (and have often done so) when our clients need a lawyer in New York, Los Angeles, London, or elsewhere in the world;

     2.  The 3,000 Primerus lawyers also regularly provide us with their expertise in different areas of law to help us with specialized projects;

     3.  Our Primerus colleagues are available to lend a hand when we just need extra manpower for a particular project.


That's why we always "Think Primerus First!"

Our Mission

We strive to understand each client's specific business goals and objectives, allowing us to provide more efficient and effective legal solutions.


We know that using the same lawyer's services again and again is the greatest compliment a lawyer can receive - and we are proud to have represented many of our business clients for years - some over 25.
