Our event was held at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit. A U.S. National Historic Landmark, the Model T was developed at Piquette Avenue in 1908, and the plant is now a spectacular antique car museum. Guests enjoyed touring the three-story venue and had fun posing for photos in a 1915 Ford Model T. Attendees listened to live music from the Bare Assets jazz quartet.
The well attended event included the Hon. Robert J. Colombo, Jr., Hon. Kathleen M. McCarthy, and Lakeshore board member, Jennifer Grieco, president of the State Bar of Michigan (SBM). The excellent food from Joe’s Gourmet Catering, the location, and the company of colleagues and generous supporters produced a great networking event. The event was sponsored by Ford Motor Company, Miller Canfield, Dickinson Wright, Blue Cross Complete of Michigan, Hylant, Yeo & Yeo, and Sir Speedy.
Thank you to the many friends who made this event a rousing success.

Meet attorney Stephanie G. Saad.
Stephanie serves as the Crime Victim’s Legal Assistance Project (CVLAP) staff attorney in the Pontiac Office of Lakeshore Legal Aid. Concentrating her practice on assisting domestic violence survivors, Saad expertly handles divorce, custody, and Personal Protection Order (PPO) cases, along with federal cases, landlord tenant issues, and public benefits matters such as Medicaid, Social Security, and disability.
Saad, a tireless advocate for those who do not feel safe in their own homes, feels it is “incredibly important that survivors and their children have someone to speak for them and appear with them in court when facing their abusers. A huge part of advocating for domestic violence survivors includes helping clients remember that they are strong, capable, and can make decisions for themselves and for their children.”
