Hands on Approach. Open Communication.
Because Cheltenham Law, PLLC, is a small firm, we can take a more hands-on approach with each case. This is based on our commitment to open communication with our clients. Our attorneys and staff are accessible by phone, text, and email. Our file management system allows clients to access and review their file at any time. Clients can track documents within the file, send messages, and receive updated court dates and scheduling information. Open client access helps to reduce the stress and anxiety that accompanies any serious legal matter.

Advocating With Tenacity. Acting With Integrity.
Divorce and custody cases are among the most contentious in the entire court system. The decisions made by the family court will have significant and long-lasting impact on the emotional health, the financial stability, and the physical well-being of the parties and their children.
It is inevitable that some families will separate and come under the mercy of the court. Our lead attorney, Colline Cheltenham, has worked within Michigan’s family legal system for years and has the necessary experience, specialized training, and tenacity to help you resolve these issues effectively and efficiently. She has been included in Michigan’s list of Super Lawyers for top rated family law attorneys. Fewer than 5% of family law attorneys in the state receive this accolade each year.
Hiring an attorney who fully understands the intense emotional toll that divorce, custody and parenting time issues take on both children and parents is vital to the outcome of your case.
