About
I am an award-winning family law attorney and founder of Best Interest Law, practicing in the Metropolitan Detroit Area (Macomb, Oakland, Wayne). My expertise is in research and analysis of all areas of family law (complex to simple divorce, custody, parenting time, child support, asset & debt division, spousal support, paternity, post-judgment, domestic relations appeals, & PPO cases). I have experience in the private and non-profit sectors, have had much success for my clients at the trial court level, have succeeded in the Court of Appeals, have drafted multiple successful appellate briefs, and have drafted judicial opinions for the Wayne Count Circuit Court Family Division.I believe uncertainty is often the root of discontent for clients. That is why I have spent my career organizing complicated family law issues in a comprehensible manner.

Dennis from the first phone call on was great, made a difficult task of going through a divorce as comfortable as possible, highly recommend his services, he was extremely detailed, hard working and compassionate.
Where do I begin? It has been quite the long journey since I was served divorce papers. I knew needed to hire an attorney, so I did a Google search on “Best Divorce Attorneys in Metro Detroit”, and I came across BEST INTEREST LAW. I read all the (good) reviews and also noticed the high Star rating. So blindly going into the process of divorce, I called. I nervously spoke with Dennis over the phone and discussed my matters with him within an hour after I had left him a voice mail. He told me what to expect and advised me to begin preparing for certain steps and phases of the process. He helped me in every possible way from the beginning all the way to the end. He would always make sure that I fully understood some of the verbiage that is written before me. He always guided me in to make the right decisions both on professional and personal levels. He was very supportive and took the time to listen to me when I just needed someone to talk to regarding the difficult hardships of divorce. He is defiantly a fighter and can play hardball with the best of them. He is very organized (I don’t know how he does it) and knows his profession very well. Dennis always returned my phone calls, emails and text messages. He is a true professional, and a class act guy! I highly recommend him. So now that my divorce process is over, I am now the one writing the review instead of reading them. If you are searching for the Best Divorce Attorney in Metro Detroit, like I did, look no further than BEST INTEREST LAW, because, Dennis Germain IS the best. He did everything possible to get me the best results. I don’t feel like I hired an attorney as much as I feel like I gained a friend. Thank you for everything Dennis!
I was very satisfied with mr. Germain’s services. He was extremely knowledgeable and offered me much support in areas I was unaware of. He was strategic with time in that things got done promptly . I would definitely hire Mr. Germain again and also recommend his services.
I would recommend Mr. Germain anyone with a family law matter. He is very knowledgeable and great to his clients.
Dennis was quick and to the point with so many things and explained them better than I would have expected, he also took the time to listen to my requests instead of giving me panned responses or feedback. When I needed to get ahold of him he always gave me a call back, when he needed a response from me he always let me know in the best possible route - whether just through a text or a simple email. He made things just a little bit better during a time I didn't think would come and still don't want to think about.
I would like to give 10 stars if I could. My first lawyer had a heart attack and I received his assistant to handle my case. Needless to say everything went down hill from there. Dennis picked up the pieces and made my life so much easier. He comforted me with his knowledge and stopped the uncontrollable crying. I can’t thank him enough for his compassion he showed me and for all of his help through that difficult time in my life.
Dennis represented me better than I could have imagined. He got me through a long and rough time during my divorce proceedings. Dennis was highly professional and responsive. He kept me informed throughout the process. Dennis was very honest with me from the beginning about my case. He did not promise me things that were not realistic. He was very organized, and always prepared. I’m sure I would not have been able to get the settlement I got without his help. I would recommend him for anyone looking for a divorce attorney. Dennis, I can’t thank you enough for the guidance and support that you had with me throughout my divorce process. I sincerely appreciate everything you’ve done to help me.
Very Professional Lawyer! I was very please how he handled my case, I would highly recommend Dennis for any legal matter.
I hired family law attorney, Dennis Germain, to represent me in a motion to modify child custody in Macomb County Circuit Court. I hired him after being unsatisfied with the services of my previous divorce attorney. Dennis had a painstaking intake process to collect information and secure supporting documentation and witnesses. It took some time for us to be fully prepared to initiate our case, so I had to be patient. But I recognized that this leg work was putting us in the strongest position to achieve our goals. Once we were satisfied with our preparation, Dennis sent initial proposals to my ex-wife and her attorney, of which they rejected outright. In response, Dennis filed a motion to modify custody with a supporting brief and documents, and we went on the attack. We were much more prepared than my ex-wife and her attorney, and we dominated at the referee hearing on my motion to modify custody and parenting time. For every argument that opposing counsel had, Dennis and I had a better counter-argument, along with the supporting documents, corroborating examples, and witnesses on deck. The referee ruled overwhelmingly in my favor. When my ex-wife and her attorney objected to the referee recommendation, we had to go in front of the judge, and we dominated again. Dennis was much more prepared, he knew the law better, he knew the facts better, and his written work product was exceedingly better than our opponent’s. After getting backed into a corner and being repeatedly demoralized in court, my ex-wife had nowhere left to go other than losing to us at trial. She folded and gave in to the custody and parenting time arrangement that I had initially asked for (the one that she had initially rejected), plus I was awarded a few other concessions. As icing on the cake, I also had my child support greatly reduced. Dennis was communicative, fair, and always made time for me. I strongly recommend his services, and I have even recommended family and others to him following my case. TP, Father, Medical Field
Trust. Trust is what I look for most in any important service to a customer. Dennis gained my trust quickly with his knowledge and honesty. Cost was very fair. I highly recommend Dennis to anyone considering Divorce.
