Brueggemann & Sharma P.C.

Brueggemann & Sharma P.C. has established itself as a cornerstone of family law practice in Kalamazoo, Michigan, drawing on more than 55 years of combined legal experience to provide families with expert counsel during life's most challenging transitions. Since its founding in 1998, the firm has maintained an unwavering commitment to helping clients navigate divorce, custody disputes, and related family law matters with both legal precision and genuine compassion.

Rex T. Brueggemann brings a distinguished legal pedigree to the partnership. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, graduating with a B.A. in English with distinction—demonstrating both academic excellence and a commitment to clear communication that serves him well in legal practice. He then attended the University of Michigan Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctor. This educational background provided him with a thorough grounding in legal principles and Michigan law, which he has enriched through more than two decades of dedicated family law practice.

The partnership between Brueggemann and Sharma creates a firm that combines different strengths and perspectives, allowing the attorneys to serve clients with greater depth than individual practitioners could offer. With more than 55 years of combined experience, the partners bring accumulated wisdom and expertise that comes only from sustained, focused practice in family law and related areas.

What sets Brueggemann & Sharma P.C. apart is the firm's dual excellence in both litigation and alternative dispute resolution. The American Institute of Trial Lawyers recognized Rex Brueggemann with the Litigator of the Year award, acknowledging his skill and effectiveness in contested legal proceedings. This recognition matters because it reflects the firm's readiness to represent clients vigorously in courtroom battles when resolution cannot be achieved through negotiation.

Equally important, the firm has earned recognition from the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys as one of the 10 Best Law Firms in Client Satisfaction. This award reflects what clients experience throughout their engagement with the firm: thorough representation, clear communication, and genuine commitment to client interests.

The firm's practice encompasses the full spectrum of family law matters. Divorce representation ranges from uncontested divorces with minimal conflict to highly contested cases involving complex asset division, business interests, and significant financial disputes. The attorneys at Brueggemann & Sharma P.C. bring equal skill to both scenarios, adjusting their approach based on what the particular family's circumstances demand.

Custody and child support matters receive specialized attention. The firm understands that custody decisions affect parent-child relationships for decades and that child support arrangements must adapt as families' circumstances change over time. Whether negotiating reasonable parenting plans, litigating contested custody cases, or later addressing modifications due to changed circumstances, the firm provides experienced advocacy.

The firm's mediation capabilities deserve particular emphasis. In an era where many family law disputes can be resolved more efficiently and less adversarially through mediation, Brueggemann & Sharma P.C. offers clients the option of seeking resolution through a neutral mediator. This approach can reduce costs, preserve family relationships, and provide greater certainty than litigation. Yet the firm's trial readiness ensures clients who cannot achieve mediated resolution receive vigorous courtroom advocacy.

Estate planning represents an important additional practice area. The firm recognizes that families facing divorce or custody issues often need to update wills, establish trusts, and update beneficiary designations. The firm's estate planning services help clients ensure their legal documents reflect their current family situations and intentions.

Located at 4021 W. Main Street, Suite 400 in Kalamazoo, the firm serves families throughout southwest Michigan. The professional office environment reflects the firm's commitment to treating clients with dignity and respect during vulnerable times.

Clients consistently appreciate the firm's straightforward communication and realistic assessment of legal situations. Rather than making promises that cannot be kept or oversimplifying complex legal matters, the attorneys at Brueggemann & Sharma P.C. explain options clearly and help clients understand likely outcomes and consequences of different choices.

The firm's philosophy reflects a recognition that family law practice involves both technical legal expertise and human understanding. Attorneys must understand statutes, case law, and court procedures while also recognizing that their clients are human beings facing profound life transitions. This dual understanding shapes everything the firm does.
