In 1965, three Ionia County lawyers, Rex OConnor, John McNamara, and John OKeeffe founded what would become Ionia Countys largest law firm. They recognized that teachers, farmers, corrections officers, police officers, business owners, and health care workers needed expert legal advice that meets the unique needs of Ionia County, Montcalm County, Eaton County, and the other counties in our area. They knew that criminal defendants, parties to a divorce, bankruptcy debtors, and disabled people or those in need of disability benefitsthose who had reached a low point in lifeneeded a lawyer who could help them get back on their feet.

Today, the lawyers at Duff, Chadwick & Associates continue to serve Ionia Countys residentsfrom Belding to Portland; from Clarksville to Hubbardston; from Saranac to Pewamo; from Lake Odessa to Palowith expert advice that meets the unique needs of Ionia County. We believe that by matching up-to-date knowledge of the law with our clients specific needs, we can provide better service than lawyers from larger cities, like Grand Rapids or Lansing, who are unfamiliar with our area. Up-to-date knowledge of the law allows our lawyers to serve in other counties and aggressively represent our clients there as well.
