Macomb County Is Home — And We Don’t Take That Lightly
This isn’t just where we practice law. It’s where we started. Where we built a firm from the ground up. Where we live, raise our families, and run into clients at the grocery store.
Macomb County is a community of people who’ve worked hard for what they have. Homes in Sterling Heights and Clinton Township. Businesses in Warren and Roseville. Retirement plans carefully funded over careers at the Big Three, in healthcare, in skilled trades, in small businesses throughout the county. Families who’ve been here for generations and families who moved here last year because they recognized something good.
These families deserve attorneys who understand what’s at stake — and who show up with the preparation, accountability, and follow-through that these matters demand.
When attorneys Daniel Boroja and Joel Bernier founded Boroja, Bernier & Associates in 2014, they chose Shelby Township as home base for a reason. Not because it was convenient. Because this is where they wanted to build something. And after serving more than 2,000 families — many of them right here in Macomb County — we’re just getting started.
Protecting Your Family, Your Life, and Your Legacy. Because You Deserve Better.
That’s not marketing copy. It’s the conviction that drives everything we do for Macomb County families.
“Macomb County families have worked hard for what they have — and they deserve attorneys who work just as hard to protect it. Whether that means creating an estate plan that keeps your family out of probate court, guiding you through estate settlement after losing a loved one, protecting assets from nursing home costs, or advocating for your interests in a divorce or custody matter. We know this community, we know these courts, and we know what it takes to get results here.”
Legal Services for Macomb County Families
From our Shelby Township headquarters, Boroja, Bernier & Associates provides comprehensive estate planning, probate, elder law, divorce, and family law services to families throughout Macomb County. Here’s how we help:
Estate Planning for Macomb County Residents
You’ve spent decades building what you have. Your home. Your retirement accounts. Your life. Now it’s time to protect it — and make sure your wishes are honored, not the state’s default rules.
Whether you’re a young family in Chesterfield Township naming guardians for your children, empty nesters in Shelby Township updating plans after the kids have moved out, or retirees in St. Clair Shores protecting assets for the next generation — comprehensive estate planning is the foundation of financial security and family peace of mind.
We create customized estate plans including wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives tailored to your specific situation. Comprehensive will-based estate plans typically range from $1,500 to $2,500. Trust-based estate plans generally range from $2,500 to $5,500. We provide transparent, flat-fee pricing after your consultation — no surprise bills.
Note: Estate planning services are available to all Michigan residents, not just Macomb County — so if you have family members elsewhere in the state who need help, we can assist them too.
Probate & Trust Administration in Macomb County
When a loved one passes, the last thing your family needs is confusion about what happens next — or an estate that drags on for months while you wonder if anyone’s actually working on it.
We guide personal representatives and successor trustees through every step of estate settlement in the Macomb County Probate Court. From straightforward informal administrations to complex estates involving business interests, real estate, and family dynamics that require careful navigation.
We don’t let estates languish. We move with urgency, handle the details, and get matters closed correctly. Your family deserves resolution, not endless waiting.
Elder Law & Medicaid Planning for Macomb County Families
Michigan nursing home care costs $9,000 to $12,000 per month. Without proper planning, families watch lifetimes of savings disappear in months, not years. The system is designed to take everything first. Medicaid doesn’t kick in until your parents are nearly broke — Michigan’s 2026 asset limit is just $9,950.
We help Macomb County families plan before options disappear — proactive Medicaid planning, crisis planning when a loved one already needs care, guardianship and conservatorship when someone can no longer make decisions for themselves, and long-term care strategies that preserve dignity and security.
The families who keep the most are the families who plan ahead. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s math.
Divorce in Macomb County
Divorce is unfamiliar territory — even for accomplished, capable people who’ve succeeded at everything else. You need attorneys who explain the strategy behind every decision, keep you informed at every stage, and treat you as a partner in your own case.
We handle contested and uncontested divorce in Macomb County Circuit Court’s Family Division. Property division, spousal support, parenting time, child support — we know how matters actually move through this court.
Settlement when it serves your interests. Litigation when your case demands a fight. We’re prepared for both.
Family Law in Macomb County
Custody disputes, parenting time modifications, child support, paternity actions, and other family law matters don’t pause for your convenience. You need attorneys who move with urgency, communicate clearly, and know how to navigate Macomb County Circuit Court’s Family Division effectively.
Whether you’re establishing a custody arrangement, modifying an existing order, or addressing a paternity matter, we bring thorough preparation and practical judgment to every case.

Why Macomb County Families Choose BBA Law
This Is Home
Our headquarters is in Shelby Township. We live here. We work here. We’re raising families here. When you hire BBA Law, you’re hiring attorneys who’ve driven the same streets you drive, who understand this community because it’s our community too.
We Know Macomb County Courts
We’ve handled hundreds of matters in the Macomb County Probate Court and Circuit Court. We know the procedures, the expectations, and how to move matters forward efficiently. That familiarity means fewer surprises and better results for your family.
Excellence Is Contagious, Mediocrity Is Too
We don’t settle for “good enough” — not on preparation, not on communication, not on results. Every document is reviewed. Every detail is verified. Every outcome is earned through meticulous work. We set a higher bar because your family’s future deserves it.
Accountability Builds Trust
You’ll always know where your matter stands. We make clear commitments and meet them. When challenges arise — and they do — we surface them early and take corrective action. No surprises at the end. No excuses instead of solutions.
Results Over Effort
Effort is expected — results are required. We don’t measure success by hours logged or motions filed. We measure it by outcomes delivered: estate plans that actually protect your family, probate matters closed correctly and efficiently, strategies that preserve what you’ve built.
“After more than a decade serving Macomb County families, we’ve learned what people actually want: clarity about their options, realistic expectations about the process, and confidence that someone competent is handling their matter. Not platitudes. Not vague promises. Results. That’s what we deliver — right here in the community where we live and work.”
