Boroja, Bernier & Associates is headquartered in the heart of Southeast Michigan — in Shelby Township, where we’ve served families throughout the region since 2014. From Macomb County to Oakland County to Wayne County and beyond, we bring trusted legal guidance to the communities that make Metro Detroit home.
Headquartered in Shelby Township | Serving All of Southeast Michigan
This Is Our Home. These Are Our Neighbors.
Southeast Michigan is more than four million people building lives, careers, and legacies across one of the nation’s most diverse and dynamic regions. Automotive engineers with complex pension plans and stock options. Small business owners who’ve built something from nothing. Families with homes they’ve owned for generations and retirement accounts they’ve funded for decades. University professors with TIAA accounts and research interests. Parents protecting children. Adult children protecting aging parents.
These aren’t simple situations — and they don’t deserve simple solutions.
At Boroja, Bernier & Associates, we didn’t plant a flag in Southeast Michigan from somewhere else. This is where we started. This is where we live. Our headquarters in Shelby Township sits at the center of the region we serve, with offices in Troy, Ann Arbor, and Lansing extending our presence across the state.
We know these courts. We know these communities. We know what’s at stake when a Sterling Heights family needs an estate plan, when a Troy family loses a loved one and faces probate, when a Detroit family watches nursing home costs threaten everything their parents built, when a Livonia family navigates divorce, when an Ann Arbor professor needs planning around university retirement benefits.
More than 2,000 families have trusted us with their most important legal matters since 2014. That’s not a number we throw around for marketing. It’s a responsibility we take seriously — and a standard we raise with every family we serve.
Protecting Your Family, Your Life, and Your Legacy. Because You Deserve Better.
“Southeast Michigan families face planning challenges shaped by this region’s economic diversity — automotive pensions, union benefits, family businesses, university retirement accounts, lakefront property, real estate that’s appreciated over decades. These assets don’t fit into templates. They require attorneys who understand the complexities and bring the preparation these situations demand. That’s what we do.”
Legal Services for Southeast Michigan Families
From our Shelby Township headquarters, Boroja, Bernier & Associates provides comprehensive estate planning, probate, elder law, divorce, and family law services throughout Southeast Michigan.
Estate Planning Across Southeast Michigan
You’ve spent decades building what you have. Your home. Your retirement accounts. Your business. Your life. Now it’s time to protect it — and to make sure your wishes are honored, not the state’s default rules.
We create customized estate plans including wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives tailored to your specific situation. No templates. No cookie-cutter documents. Just meticulous planning designed for Southeast Michigan families with real assets and real concerns.
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.
Our estate planning services are available to all Michigan residents — so if you have family elsewhere in the state who needs help, we can assist them too.
Probate Services Throughout Southeast Michigan
When a loved one passes, confusion about what happens next is the last thing your family needs. We guide personal representatives and successor trustees through estate settlement in probate courts across Southeast Michigan — Macomb County, Oakland County, Wayne County, Washtenaw County, and beyond.
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 for Southeast Michigan 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 help until your parents are nearly broke — Michigan’s 2026 asset limit is just $9,950.
We help Southeast Michigan families plan before options disappear — and we help families already in crisis protect what’s still possible. The families who keep the most are the families who plan ahead. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s math.
Divorce Across Southeast Michigan
Divorce is one of the most difficult decisions you’ll ever face — and one of the most consequential. Whether you’re navigating an uncontested divorce or preparing for a contested case involving significant assets, custody disputes, or complex financial structures, you need attorneys who bring strategy and preparation to every stage of the process.
We represent clients in circuit courts throughout Southeast Michigan. Settlement when it serves your interests. Litigation when your case demands a fight.
Family Law Across Southeast Michigan
Custody disputes, parenting time modifications, child support, paternity actions, and other family law matters are 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 represent clients in family courts throughout Southeast Michigan — Macomb County Circuit Court, Oakland County Circuit Court, Wayne County’s Third Circuit Court, and beyond.

Why Southeast Michigan 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 not hiring a firm that’s never driven down the streets of Metro Detroit. You’re hiring attorneys who understand this region because it’s our region too.
We Know Southeast Michigan Courts
We’ve handled hundreds of matters in Macomb County, Oakland County, Wayne County, and courts throughout the region. We know the procedures, the expectations, and how to move matters forward efficiently. That familiarity means fewer surprises and better results.
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.
“After more than a decade serving Southeast Michigan 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 across Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, Washtenaw, Livingston, St. Clair, and Monroe Counties.”
