Stephen Hilger has taken on attorney Ben Hammond as a partner to change his firm from Stephen A. Hilger, P.C. to
Hilger & Hammond, P.C.The two-person firm located at 49 Monroe Center specializes in construction law and construction litigation, providing clients in the construction industry with a variety of services, including lien preparation and lien foreclosures, contract review, contract preparation, pre litigation claims resolution and litigation.
"We're going to continue in the direction of being a boutique law firm geared toward servicing clients in the construction industry," Hilger says. "Some of our clients are from out of state, and some of our in-state clients do work out of state, so the goal is to develop a powerhouse construction law practice in West Michigan and the Midwest."
Both Hilger and Hammond belong to several construction industry associations and are frequent lecturers on topics related to construction law. Hammond spent seven years with
Smith, Haughey, Rice & Roegge before moving to Hilger & Hammond.
"The reason I brought Ben on is because he's a highly talented and motivated construction lawyer who's known to the construction industry in West Michigan," Hilger says. "Our vision is to grow the practice with likeminded people who share our vision of giving back to the community and giving top quality service. We'll never be 200 lawyers, but we might be eight or nine."
