Troy and Dearborn, Michigan, Civil Rights and Transaction Attorneys

Defending Rights and Serving Michigan Businesses

If your employer or government agency has discriminated against you, or if you simply want to start your own local business, we can provide the attorney for your needs. We opened Akeel & Valentine PLC to serve both of these needs in the Detroit, Michigan, communities.

We offer skilled, professional representation with competitive prices and personal attention only a small, boutique firm can provide. Glenn Valentine handles the business and transactional cases, and Sheeref Akeel is the attorney fighting for your civil rights. Contact us today.

We handle:

  • Civil Rights: Shareef Akeel focuses his practice as a lawyer on the rights afforded to you under the U.S. Constitution, in both state and federal court.
  • Employment Law: If you have been mistreated at work, or were wrongfully discharged because of your ethnicity, religion, or age, you may have a claim.
  • Discrimination: Discrimination comes in many forms, including racial profiling, malicious prosecution, unlawful arrest, police brutality and denial of basic public rights.
  • Abu Ghraib and Government Contractors: We can represent you for crimes committed against you in Abu Ghraib, as well as crimes against humanity by U.S. contractors overseas.
  • Wrongful Death and Personal Injury: If you are injured, or if someone you love has died because of the negligence of someone else, we can represent you in the matter.
  • Gas Station Disputes, Pricing, Negotiations, and Contracts: If you are a gas dealer experiencing price-gouging or other unethical behavior from a gas distributor, we can help.
  • Real Estate: We can help with your real estate needs, including the buying, selling, and leasing of commercial or retail properties like shopping centers, hospitals, and office complexes.
  • Business Transactions: We have experience negotiating complex deals for small or large business, while maintaining the small, boutique personal service you need.
