About James

Jim Kraayeveld has the skills and determination to provide effective representation and guidance to clients who are going through challenging disruptions. We aggressively fight for our clients to ensure that their rights, interests, and objectives are protected and pursued.

As skilled Michigan divorce and family lawyers, we offer personalized advocacy through divorce, child custody, property division, child and spousal support, and post judgment modifications.

We offer a balance that some family law attorneys are incapable of providing. We have compassion for the physical and emotional frustrations that our clients face. We are able to provide steadfast advocacy to ensure that their future interests are preserved.

We fight for what is important to our clients in the manner that our clients choose. Regardless of the manner in which divorce or family law disputes are resolved, we ensure that our client is treated fairly and receives everything to which he or she is entitled.
