      <image:title>My Vision - My Vision A new way to practice law.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It was over 18 years ago when Liisa took a leap and started Speaker Law Firm, with a specific vision in mind. This ground breaking vision was to own a law firm that dedicated itself to appeals; which had not been done before in Michigan. Yes, there were and are attorneys who work on appeals but there is no other firm in the state that focuses exclusively on appeals! Why do we think appeals are their own area of law? Think about it this way, you wouldn't seek the advice of a tax attorney on a medical malpractice case. So, why would you consult with a trial attorney on an appeal? Just as Liisa would not represent a client in the trial court, we think clients should seek the counsel of an appellate attorney on their appeal. For years, we've provided trial attorneys with materials to help better prepare their clients' cases for appeal. This information is in no doubt useful, but it doesn't make a trial attorney an appellate expert. Our Firm are the experts, so consult with us first! — Liisa Speaker</image:caption>

      <image:title>My Book - Who should read this book?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This book is a must-read for family law attorneys. If you occasionally dabble in family law, you need this book even more. It will give you key insights into the problems that are regularly occurring in the trial courts, and tips on how to help the trial judge avoid these mistakes in your client’s case. It also provides areas where we, as attorneys, parents, and judges, need to contribute to see the law further developed. Family law attorneys should raise the issues discussed under “Unresolved Issues” in their trial court cases and develop facts to strengthen those issues on appeal. If you are a parent who is involved in or anticipates litigation in the family courts, this book will help give insight into what your family law attorney will be facing in court. What is this book about? A judge’s mistakes can impact a family in many ways. This book shines a light on what happens when judges don’t follow the law. It examines the court cases that touch the lives of parents with children – from custody to change of domicile, from grandparenting time to adoption, from guardianship to termination of parental rights. Where are judges making legal mistakes? When are they ignoring the law? What happens after these judges’ decisions are appealed and reversed by the higher courts? And most significantly, how are these legal errors impacting our families and our children?</image:caption>
