Miller Canfield is pleased to announce that Danielle Mason Anderson has been named among Michigan Lawyers Weekly's Leaders in the Law, Class of 2019. 

Anderson, recently elected to serve as one of the firm's five managing directors, and a principal attorney and resident director of Miller Canfield's office in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is known not only for her exceptional skills as a litigator, but also for her leadership in the legal community and the community at large.

Two recent client victories in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals put the City of Detroit’s post-bankruptcy recovery on much firmer footing.

The first case began two years ago when some residential customers of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department filed a complaint in the City of Detroit’s bankruptcy case. They asserted the city should be forced to set water rates based on customers’ income rather than on the cost of providing the service as required by Michigan law.
