Guy
Vining established his first office in January 1978. He
has been associated with several Detroit law firms including
the law practice of George A. Jones & Associates, P.C.,
and Berkley, Mengel & Vining, P.C., where he was a partner
for 13 years. He is acquainted with law firms in all major
areas of the state. Mr. Vining is highly experienced in
the following areas of litigation and practice:
PERSONAL
INJURY LITIGATION
A significant part of Mr. Vining's practice is devoted
to cases in which people are injured. Injuries generally occur
as a result of automobile accidents, slip and falls on negligently
maintained property (ice snow, defects, etc.), or due to dental
or medical malpractice. Several one-million-dollar plus verdicts
have been obtained for former clients.
EMPLOYMENT
LAW AND PRACTICE
Approximately one-quarter of Mr. Vining's practice
deals with wrongful discharge from employment, sexual harassment,
Michigan Employment Security Commission appeals, and discrimination
predicated upon age, gender, race, and national origin. Many
of Mr. Vining's clients in employment related matters have
received significant jury verdicts and/or settlements in the
mid-six figure range. Conversely, this representation also
includes the defense of employers against whom such claims
have been asserted; and, the drafting of employment policies
and procedures to minimize the risk of such claims.
BUSINESS
TORT LITIGATION
Mr. Vining has substantial experience in business litigation
involving breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, interference
with contract, injunctive relief, declaratory relief and accounting,
covenants not to compete, bankruptcy adversary proceedings
and business reorganization matters. Certain of these cases
have required criminal defense and subsequent suits for money
damages for defamation and malicious prosecution.
Mr. Vining has a thorough knowledge of corporation law and
has been involved in drafting corporation documents and litigation
for collections, dissolutions and other matters. Mr. Vining
has also served as a specially elected U.S. Trustee in a complex
business bankruptcy matter.
WILLS
AND PROBATE MATTERS
Unless a person has a Will, the laws of the State
of Michigan will determine how that person's property will
be distributed on his death irrespective of what that person
might otherwise wish. Mr. Vining has drafted hundreds of Wills
which allow his clients to dispose of their property as they
please. Additionally, Mr. Vining has, for certain clients,
drafted other related document such as Living Wills, Powers
of Attorney, and Designation of Patient Advocate and Living
Trust documents. The firm also provides legal counsel to and
service for the Personal Representative (formerly called "Executor")
for the probating of client's estates.
AUTO INJURY AND THE LAW
The laws of the State of Michigan require that motor vehicles operated in a place open to the public must be insured. The “basic” automobile insurance policy required, however, will not adequately protect you and your loved ones. The reason is that it does not include features necessary to compensate if you receive a debilitating or crippling injury! Contact Vining Law Group to assist you in determining if your coverage for current or future losses are adequate.
