About
Since 2004 I have been privileged to participate in Medical Mission work taking place in Asia, attending almost yearly. These humanitarian opportunities have taken me to the Philippines,( Manila, Cebu City, Tacloban and Davao City and from Davao all over the island of Mindanao, also I have been able to visit Malasia ( Kuala Lumpor), Indonesia (Medan) and Vietnam both Saigon and Hanoi. Detroit, is host to the headquarters of World Medical Relief and Kiwanis #1. That means I have plenty of opportunity with a ringside seat, to observe the evolving globalization of the economy and growing influence the internet is playing. Needs are being met that only a few years ago were simply thought unachievavble! I will write more later. Ann Arbor is the home of the University of Michigan Hospital and leading cardioligists there are working to recycle pace makers for use in poorer areas of the world. Partnering with World Medical Relief free reconditioned pace makers are offered others - a small dent is being made in the enormous demand for pace makers the world over - yearly shortfall is three (3) million from figures provided me in informal discussions with World Medical Relief workers. Lives are saved and prolonged. Kiwanis, legal collegues and clients have all played an enormous part in providng the opportunity, inspiration and guidance to do this sort of volunteerism. International trafficking of the Elderly is becoming a bigger issue. People will grab you for your pension and social security and hold you in your own home. This fact has been made more relvant as I participate in ongoing educational classes at Florida's Stetson university School of Law in their Elder Law LLM Online Program. I have just finished a class in Aging and the Law and will soon begin a class in Guardianship. As time permits I will attempt to share in this forum, concepts that will help us all age and age well with a caring circle of support. I will try to supplement personal events, since this seems to be what others want to know, in terms of writing about what is going on in the world of Aging and Asia. More later on Dr. S.E. a mennonite Peace Maker (mediator) and physcician (double board certified) and his wife a social worker providing care in some rough areas of the world there in Asia. If i can learn how to upload more than one photo at a time I will provide photos of srgery being perfomred by Dr S.E. - no blood products available in the jungle so he uses tweezers called HemoStats to prevent bleeding. I will also share more in the writing here about ways and means to prevent abuse of the elderly and disabled financial and physical. I have to do this by bits and pieces since I have little time when a crisis rears up in the life of clients or their families. If comments or messages are allowed please feel free to correct grammar and spelling since often I am on little or no sleep when I write and do offer me suggestions since I learn from my clients the most on terms of providing services you may need. I am still a project under construction after 25 years of practice. I learn daily new concepts! :) In 2005, Mike was in the first class of attorneys in Michigan to complete a certificate for advanced training in the Probate and Estate Planning Program sponsored by the Michigan Bar Association and the Institute for Continuing Legal Education.

Mr. Kotarski has the ability to bring clarity in confusing and complicated mattes or family law/ guardianship. He has given me invaluable guidance during a highly emotional process trying to assist my brother since his stroke. Our interactions always leave me with clarity that we are moving in the right direction.
He is advising and providing expertise to me regarding guardianship; quite knowledgeable and has a great deal of experience. Staff assistant is also helpful.
He were so helpful. Giving me a referral to someone who could help me in my county. Gave me so much helpful advise. Nice to speak to.
If you are in need of a knowledgable, concerned, up front and honest Probate, Elder Laws & Guardianship Attorney, Then Michael Joseph Kotarski is the one who will get the job done right! He is an Honest Man, easily understandable and will set you up for good outcome. The BEST Attorney I have encountered. So If you find yourself in need of help, fear not ... this is your Man. I had obtained much-needed information to not only save me money but to have the desired outcome. Highly Recommended. I had some major probate issues going on in my life. After I left I felt more confident and put my life at ease.
Mike helped me with three options for starting to apply for Medicaid for my mother. She has dementia and might need long term care soon. Thank you for answering all my questions and easing my mind to start this process. Thanks also to your staff for connecting us in a timely manner.
In my hour of need, defeated, directionless, and hopeless, from 2000 miles away Mike Kotarski provided me with strength, encouragement, and legal guidance based on sound biblical principal. My wife had traveled to Michigan to visit our grandchildren when she suffered a seizure and was hospitalised for 12 days. At the onset a family member took total control of my wife's care and personal affairs usurping her compromised physical condition. False and malicious accusations were made about me in order to deny me information about my wife's condition and care. Through the grace of GOD I was directed to Mike and his legal team. Despite the fact it was Memorial Day weekend and Mike had obligations to the Probate Court a plan of action was formulated by his team where I was counseled and directed daily culminating in my travel to Michigan to reunite with my wife and take back my responsibility as her husband. Through prayer and thanksgiving to our Father Mike guided me in accordance with the laws of Michigan on my rights and actions. Mike's wise and Godly counsel and GOD'S intervention resulted in my wife's discharge from the hospital and our reunion. We have been blessed by her daily recovery and we are happily back home in Arizona. I can not give a more profound and heartfelt endorsement to Mike and his legal team. Throughout this entire ordeal my concerns and needs were always paramount. I give thanks that I was guided to Mike Kotarski and his professional staff.
I think Michael Kotarski has been a God send for me and my family. He helped me become Guardian / Conservator for my mother along with many other problems in my family. I am amazed at the things he has helped me with! I consider him a good friend and Lawyer.
