Why Oakland County Clients Choose CF Legal

Practice Areas Available to Pontiac and Oakland County Clients

We represent Oakland County clients across the full range of our practice areas. Below is an overview of what we handle and what to expect from each.

When a loved one passes, the probate process can be straightforward or deeply contested. We handle both — from routine estate administration to trust disputes, undue influence claims, and probate litigation.

Wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, Medicaid planning, guardianship, and asset protection strategies — built around your family's specific situation.

Residential closings, land contracts, landlord representation, real estate litigation, LLC formation, and construction law. We represent property owners and small business owners throughout the Flint metro area.

Divorce, child custody, and child support matters handled with the seriousness they deserve. When your family's future is on the line, you need attorneys who can negotiate and litigate.

What Sets CF Legal Apart in the Oakland County Market

Oakland County has no shortage of attorneys. Here is what distinguishes our firm:

 

  • More than 30 years of legal experience led by Craig R. Fiederlein, with partner Rick Hetherington bringing approximately 18–20 years of additional courtroom and transactional experience
  • A former partner who now serves as a sitting judge in Genesee County — a direct signal of the firm's standing and reputation in the region
  • Rick Hetherington's background as a former police officer, providing a meaningful edge in criminal defense, firearms law, and CPL matters
  • A multi-attorney firm capable of handling litigation across every practice area — not a solo office that refers complex matters elsewhere
  • Three office locations in Flint, Grand Blanc, and Frankfort, with the capacity to serve clients throughout mid-Michigan and beyond
  • Phones answered directly, with a 24-hour return call commitment
