P

eople do business with people 
they like. The adage certain-
ly applies to lawyers and 
law firms, but with one small yet 
important variation – people do 
business with people they like and 
who know their business. 
In the digital age, clients are 
smarter and more business-savvy, 
with a range of legal providers from 
which to choose. Subject matter 
expertise and industry knowledge 
no longer distinguish one full-ser-
vice law firm from another. Today, 
a firm’s culture is the real differen-

tiator.
“The individuals, business 
owners, and corporations we rep-
resent assume we have the skills to 
handle their matters,” says Steven 
D. Sallen, president and CEO of 
Maddin Hauser. “A central way we 
continue to earn clients’ loyalty 
and trust is by focusing on our 
workplace and our community. 
Clients see how we run our busi-
ness and are proud to call us their 
law firm.”
Alongside highly experienced 
professionals and staff, Maddin 

Hauser’s talented attorneys handle 
a wide range of litigation, trans-
actional, regulatory, and personal 
legal matters. Over a nearly cen-
tury-long history, the firm has 
obtained favorable outcomes for 
clients in some of the most sub-
stantial commercial, real estate, 
financial services, and insurance 
defense deals and disputes in 
Michigan. Pride in that legacy runs 
deep, but in today’s fast-paced 
world, resting on past accomplish-
ments means being left behind. 
Maddin Hauser’s practice groups 
and client teams don’t just keep up 
with the law; they stay ahead of it, 
anticipating business trends and 
societal events that cause laws to 
change and adapt. Lawyers and 
staff collaborate to achieve each 
client’s unique goals but are also 
devoted to helping each other 
enjoy lifestyle balance. 
“We have become the employer-
of-choice for both new and sea-
soned attorneys looking for chal-
lenging and meaningful work on a 
local, regional, and even national 
scale,” explains shareholder and 
executive committee member 
Martin S. Frenkel. “Any one of us 

could practice with larger firms 
anywhere in the country. Instead, 
we choose to be part of a smaller, 
more dynamic, more value-driven 
law firm culture.”
Part of the Maddin Hauser 
culture involves an ongoing com-
mitment to celebrating the com-
munities where its people live and 
work, starting with the firm itself. 
Internally, the Success through 
Empowerment and Engagement 
(SEE) initiative honors attorneys 
and employees from diverse back-
grounds and promotes inclusion in 
the firm, the legal profession, and 
society. Externally, Maddin Hauser 
supports numerous civic and char-
itable organizations through vol-
unteering, philanthropy, and board 
leadership activities.
“Care and concern are what we 
do best,” says firm co-founder and 
managing director Mark Hauser. 
“We care about our clients’ needs 
– often before our own – and we’re 
always concerned about delivering 
exceptional service and legal rep-
resentation. I don’t think we would 
be able to do that if we didn’t feel 
the same obligation to the people 
who make our firm exceptional.”
