Bauckham Thall

Bauckham Thall Bauckham, Thall, Seeber, Kaufman & Koches has been engaged in the practice of municipal law for over 100 years.

We represent cities, townships, & villages in the State of Michigan and are also the general counsel for the Michigan Townships Association. Since its inception, the attorneys at Bauckham Sparks and its predecessor firms have prided themselves on putting our clients’ interests first. That’s why you’ll find our rates to be fair and reasonable, our attorneys hard-working, and a careful, conservative

analysis of your particular legal situation. Once you’ve made a decision on how to proceed on a legal matter, you will find Bauckham Sparks in your corner, working hard to protect your interests. At Bauckham Sparks, we know that trust must be earned. That’s why we work hard to forge relationships with our clients — not just as representatives of the townships and municipalities we are privileged to represent, but as hard-working people trying to make an honest living. It’s not uncommon for a Bauckham Sparks attorney to meet a farmer in their fields at 8 p.m. or to attend a weekend Township Board meeting, if called upon. We know our clients work hard; in turn, we work hard for you.

If you are trying to reach us, we ask for your patience as we are working to get back online.
Our thoughts are with everyone that was affected by last night’s weather.
