Family matters
Something at home is changing.
Divorce, custody, parenting time, support. These take months and they are decided on a record. There is usually more time to think than it feels like there is, and knowing the sequence is most of what makes it bearable.
Charges & citations
You have a court date.
A charge, an OWI, a suspended license, a ticket that turned into something worse. These move on the court’s calendar, not yours, and the early decisions are the ones that matter. Call before the first appearance if you can.
What he handles
A short list, on purpose. These are the matters he is in court on every week.
- DivorceContested and uncontested divorce in Wayne County, from the first filing through the judgment.
- Child Custody & Parenting TimeCustody, parenting time and the changes that come later when circumstances move.
- High-Asset DivorceDivorce where a business, retirement accounts, or property make the division the hard part.
- Child SupportEstablishing support under the Michigan formula, and modifying it when income changes.
- Criminal DefenseMisdemeanor and felony charges in Wayne County district and circuit courts.
- OWI & Drunk DrivingMichigan calls it OWI, not DUI. A first offense still puts your license and your record at stake.
- Traffic Tickets & License PointsSpeeding, suspended license and moving violations. Usually a fight about points, not about money.
- Domestic Violence DefenseA domestic violence charge moves fast, and it reaches into your home, your job, and your custody case at once.
- Personal Protection OrdersSeeking protection, or served with an order signed before you knew it existed. One side needs the court's help now, the other has days to answer.
- Landlord EvictionsEvictions for Michigan landlords, done in the order the court requires. Shortcuts are how landlords end up as defendants.
Why people call him
The system is not designed to be understood by the person going through it.
Court has its own calendar, its own vocabulary and its own idea of what is urgent. Most of the fear people bring to a first conversation is not about losing. It is about not knowing what is coming, or who to ask.
So that is where he starts: what happens, in what order, and how long each part actually takes. Then he answers the phone while it happens.
Rated 4.9 by the people he actually represented.

“I can’t recommend Vasso highly enough. Going through a divorce is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face, and having him by my side made all the difference. He was compassionate, knowledgeable, and always made me feel heard and supported.
He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered my questions with patience, and fought for my best interests while remaining professional and honest. I always felt like more than just another client ; I felt genuinely cared for.
If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who is experienced, responsive, and truly dedicated to his clients, Vasso is the person you want in your corner. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has done for me and would recommend him without hesitation.”

A small practice, on purpose.
A University of Detroit Mercy School of Law graduate practicing in Wayne County. His office is on Ford Road in Canton, and the number on this site rings his phone.
He is not the biggest firm in Wayne County and does not pretend to be. What a practice this size can do is give a case the attention it needs and return a call the same day. Judging by the reviews, that is the part most people were missing before they got here.
Tell him what happened.
A sentence or two is enough to know whether he can help and what it would cost.
