Anne E. Lewis P.L.C.

Anne E. Lewis P.L.C. represents the best of what a boutique family law practice can offer: focused expertise, personal attention, and a deep commitment to helping families reach resolution during their most challenging transitions. Since 2010, Anne E. Lewis has built a reputation throughout Grand Rapids as an attorney who genuinely understands that family law matters extend far beyond legal documents and court proceedings.

Anne E. Lewis earned her Juris Doctor from Michigan State University College of Law in 2004, providing her with a strong educational foundation in Michigan law and legal methodology. She was admitted to the Michigan State Bar in 2005, beginning her practice with a clear commitment to understanding both the technical legal aspects and the human dimensions of family law. Over her 15+ years of dedicated practice, she has developed the kind of expertise that comes only through sustained focus on a single practice area.

What distinguishes Anne E. Lewis P.L.C. is the attorney's recognition that families facing divorce or custody disputes are not simply collections of legal issues to be resolved. Rather, they are networks of relationships, emotional attachments, and deeply held values that require careful, thoughtful navigation. This understanding shapes every aspect of the firm's practice.

The firm's expertise in negotiation and settlement development reflects Anne's belief that families often achieve better long-term outcomes through agreement than through contested litigation. Rather than automatically assuming litigation is necessary, Anne carefully analyzes each situation to determine which approach—negotiation, mediation, or litigation—will best serve her client's underlying interests.

As a certified mediator, Anne brings additional skills to dispute resolution. Mediation offers families a path to resolution that preserves relationships, reduces costs, and provides greater certainty than litigation. The firm's mediation services are available both for families working with the firm and for families seeking mediator services in other contexts.

When negotiation and mediation are not appropriate, Anne E. Lewis P.L.C. brings thorough preparation and strategic thinking to contested litigation. Divorce cases handled by the firm benefit from detailed analysis of financial circumstances, clear understanding of Michigan property division laws, and vigorous advocacy for client interests. Whether addressing complex property division, spousal maintenance, or other financial aspects of divorce, the firm provides the expertise necessary to protect client interests.

Child custody and parenting time arrangements receive equally careful attention. Anne understands that custody decisions affect family relationships for decades to come. She works with families to develop parenting plans that prioritize children's wellbeing while respecting both parents' relationships with their children. In contested custody cases, she provides experienced advocacy supported by thorough factual investigation and analysis.

Child support matters benefit from Anne's detailed knowledge of Michigan's support guidelines and her experience addressing the unique circumstances that sometimes require deviation from statutory formulas. Whether handling initial child support calculations or pursuing modifications based on changed circumstances, the firm provides thorough analysis and effective representation.

Clients consistently appreciate Anne's clear communication and strategic thinking. Rather than overwhelming clients with legal jargon, she explains their situation, their options, and the likely consequences of different choices. This clarity empowers clients to make informed decisions about matters that profoundly affect their lives.

The firm's location in downtown Grand Rapids, at 146 Monroe Center Street, provides convenient access for families throughout west Michigan. The professional environment reflects Anne's commitment to treating clients with dignity and respect during vulnerable times.

Anne's clients also consistently praise her fierce advocacy. While she seeks resolution through agreement whenever possible, she is equally prepared to fight vigorously in court when litigation becomes necessary. This combination of settlement-oriented thinking and litigation readiness reflects her genuine commitment to protecting each client's interests.

Beyond her legal practice, Anne's involvement in professional communities and commitment to family law excellence reflect her passion for her practice area. Her professional relationships throughout the Grand Rapids legal community often translate into better outcomes for clients, as she has earned the respect of judges, opposing counsel, and other legal professionals.
