ABOUT THE SITE

  • Copyright Patricia Haller.
    Courtesy of Downtown Detroit Partnership
  • AttorneyButler.Net is the weblog of attorney Michael J. Butler. It has always been my belief that common sense in the pursuit of justice is no vice. (Apologies to Barry Goldwater.)

    I can be reached by email through this site, or by phone at:
    248-350-3700(O)
    734-776-0231(C)

    The site is divided into two basic categories: commentary on the state of the law in Michigan, and a look at the rich history of the city of Detroit.

    For easier reference, legal commentary articles will always carry the "Lady of Justice" (looking somewhat askance) drawing, and the Detroit History articles will feature a picture of the great Guardian Builing.

    More about attorney Mike Butler can be found by clicking the "ABOUT" link below.

MEDIATION SERVICES

  • With over 25 years experience in the area of civil litigation, I now offer mediation services as a part of my practice. SCAO mediator training has been completed, and I am currently on the approved mediatior list in several Michigan Circuit Courts.

    Having participated in many mediations, both as litigant and as mediator, I have come to understand the process and its benefits for all parties. I have always tried to earn the trust of all the attorneys with whom I have worked. This trust is, obviously, vital in the mediation process.

    There is no charge for the following mediation services: phone conferences, scheduling, correspondence, administrative staff work, or room rental. Hourly rate is $200 per hour. The only services charged are for review of submissions before the hearing, and conducting the mediation.

    For further information, please feel free to call me at my office or cell number, or email me at the link below.

COCOANUTS PREMIERE

Cocoanuts_02_3

Today's entry is the first in a new category on AttorneyButler.net. In the category "Special Events", I will hightlight the annivesary of epic historic events.

On May 24, 1929, the first Marx Brothers film, The Cocoanuts, made its theatrical premiere. This movie featured the four Marx Brothers: Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo.

Groucho's views on politics seem relevant today. Though not from Cocoanuts, the quote is worth repeating here:

"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies."

Happy Anniversary to Marxists everywhere.
