Tolle & Walsh PLC

Mr. Tolle and Mr. Walsh decided to open a Muskegon law firm that put clients first. Called “Family Law Center of West Michigan PLC,” the firm was envisioned to benefit clients and other attorneys who might want to affiliate. In 2001, Stariha Law Office PC, which had a similar philosophy, joined Tolle & Walsh at Family Law Center in order to provide clients with a full-service law firm with resources often unavailable in smaller communities.

Since 2001, both firms have prospered as satisfied clients tell relatives, friends, and neighbors about lawyers who listen, who explain every process, who are frank about a case’s merits – or lack of them – and who are aggressive in court but open to mediation if it benefits the client.
