Zivian & Zwickl is a small, family-owned law firm that offers its clients both outstanding legal

representation and attentive, personalized service in many areas, including:

·         Estate Planning

·         Elder Law and Medicaid Planning

·         Family Law

·         Probate

·         Mediation

Since opening their firm in 1991, Sara Zivian Zwickl and her mother, Etta Zivian, have worked with thousands of clients. In that time, they have come to appreciate that representing their clients effectively often entails more than simply playing hardball or going to court. It requires considering their clients’ total well-being, including their time-frame, financial constraints and tolerance for conflict. When appropriate and possible, they help clients minimize stress by resolving difficult issues through mediation and/or consulting with a wide range of professionals in accounting, real estate, finance and counseling.

In short, to Sara and Etta, quality legal representation means understanding individual needs and finding individual solutions.

Both Sara and Etta are well-known and well-respected in the Michigan legal community. Their familiarity with other law firms, lawyers and the judicial system gives their clients a strategic advantage. They are also active in the community, offering their legal skills pro bono through various legal organizations.

“We don’t practice ‘one size fits all’ law. We believe that ideal legal representation takes into account our clients’ individual legal needs and their personal well-being.”
