Abigail Murray and Michael Rouvina have opened a new law firm in downtown Kalamazoo.

The offices of Murray & Rouvina, PLC. Murray & Rouvina, PLC, are located at 1011 W. Maple Street in Kalamazoo.

The firm is a full-service law firm specializing in probate and estate planning, business law, family law, animal law and alternative dispute resolution.

Alternative dispute resolution helps parties resolve disputes without a trial, and typically include mediation, arbitration, and negotiation. These processes are generally confidential, less formal, and less stressful than traditional court proceedings.

Specialization in probate and estate planning are self-explanatory. For those wondering what animal law covers, Rouvina says it is an up-and-coming area of law and Michigan is the forefront of it. Animal law covers such things as resolving disputes between a boyfriend and girlfriend who adopted a pet together and now that the relationship has ended can't agree on who gets the companion animal; helping the elderly who want to make provisions for pets after the owner dies by establishing a Pet Trust; working with a new animal rescue organization that needs assistance with incorporation all are the types of instances in which animal can be applied.

Rouvina says animal law brings together various other aspects of the law, such as probate and business law.

Murray most recently worked as a senior associate with the law firm of Vedder Price P.C. in Chicago, Ill. She earned her law degree from the University of Richmond School of Law and her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Western Michigan University.

Rouvina most recently worked as in-house counsel for Textura Corp. based in Deerfield, Ill. He earned his law degree from Pace University School of Law and his bachelor’s degree in political science from Syracuse University.

The husband and wife team moved to Kalamazoo from the Chicago area to be closer to family. Murray is a Western Michigan University alumna.
