Attorney Karie Boylan has a wide background of work in the legal field, as she first began as a police officer, then as a defense attorney for Wayne County, Michigan. Now in practicing privately, her experience in these roles have equipped her with a more in-depth understanding of employment and estate planning law. Attorney Boylan’s specialized work is in FMLA, ADA, and employment law, as well as estate planning and divorce litigation.
Attorney Boylan has also spent 16 years defending governments in civil rights litigation. Particularly in the realm of property tax and foreclosure, she wholeheartedly believes in protecting homeowners’ rights against a law that allows the government to take a resident’s home or property without just compensation. Such a law, in Attorney Boylan’s view, is unconstitutional, and she fights tirelessly to uphold the rights of property owners. The legal process of such events can be complex, but she has the legal knowledge and skill to appropriately respond and fight against government overreach. You can trust her to put your rights first and fight for you in court.
