Doerr MacWilliams Howard PLLC

About Doerr MacWilliams Howard PLLC

Doerr MacWilliams Howard PLLC (DMH Law) is a specialized business law firm built for companies facing high-stakes decisions and high-pressure disputes. Founded in 2023 by Joe Doerr, Sara MacWilliams, and Derek Howard, the firm pairs deep business-law experience with the responsive, individualized service clients expect from a boutique practice. DMH Law is particularly known for complex commercial litigation, representing businesses in matters involving fraud, breach of contract, shareholder and ownership conflicts, and technology-related failures. The team approaches every case with careful planning—anticipating the other side’s strategy, protecting business operations, and pursuing results with disciplined, courtroom-tested advocacy. Each partner brings a strong track record: Doerr previously ran Doerr Law Firm after leaving large-firm practice and has been widely recognized for business and real estate litigation leadership; MacWilliams founded MacWilliams Law PC and focuses on outside general counsel work, transactions, and complex disputes; and Howard, a former Oakland County Business Court judicial staff attorney, has earned notable litigation wins since launching his own firm in 2019. Together, DMH Law offers a deeper bench and practical support for business clients. See full bio Hide full bio
