Dickinson
Wright is pleased to announce that Michael Vogt has joined the firm’s Troy
office as a Member.
Michael
helps clients resolve complex real estate issues and disputes. Whether guiding
clients through the zoning entitlement process or representing clients in
disputes related to the purchase, sale, development, leasing, and management of
commercial real estate, Michael works hand in hand with clients to understand
their goals and then form practical strategies to reach them. In his national zoning practice, Michael
counsels clients throughout the entire zoning process—from the initial due
diligence and strategy formation through the final approvals needed for the
client to begin operations. For more
than a decade, he has successfully led clients through the zoning approval
process in several states and across a variety of industries, including
renewable energies, industrial uses, medical offices, auto dealerships,
cannabis, telecommunications, retail, and restaurant. He also regularly represents landlords and
tenants in lease disputes and has litigated or negotiated settlements in
numerous complex cases involving both eviction procedures and high-exposure
claims for damages.
Michael is recognized as a
leader in his field by Best Lawyers in
America®
and Michigan Super Lawyers Rising Stars.
He is Co-Chair of the State Bar of Michigan Real Property Law Section’s Land
Use & Zoning Committee and is a member of the Oakland County Bar
Association Real Estate Committee. Michael received his B.A. from Michigan
State University and his J.D. from John Marshall School of Law.
