Pesick, Jason C. Long, and John E. Scheibelhut III have joined the firm.

“Jerry is one of Michigan’s foremost and respected attorneys and has played a part in several of the region’s most important economic developments,” says WWRP managing partner John W. Crowe. “We are thrilled Jerry, Jason, and John will now add their skills and talents to ours.”

“I have known and admired Williams, Williams, Rattner & Plunkett and its lawyers for many years, and I am delighted to now practice alongside them,” said Mr. Pesick, a founder of the former law firm of Steinhardt Pesick & Cohen, P.C. “Like me, they aspire to the highest level of client service and results, so the synergies are apparent.”

Mr. Pesick has tried and settled condemnation cases across Michigan for more than forty years, securing tens of millions of dollars for his clients.

Mr. Pesick has been involved with many properties and projects with familiar names, such as Poletown, the Detroit Waterfront Casino and Reclamation Project, Comerica Park, Ford Field, the Northwestern Connector, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Wayne State University, Pinnacle AeroPark, and the Ypsilanti Water Street Redevelopment.

Mr. Pesick is a frequent author and speaker on eminent domain topics and a trusted authority for local news outlets.

Shareholder Jason Long has represented clients in eminent domain, property taxation, real estate, land use litigation, and appeals for nearly 20 years. He regularly appears in trial courts throughout Michigan and the Michigan Tax Tribunal, the Michigan Court of Appeals, and the Michigan Supreme Court. His experience encompasses a broad range of real property and tax issues, including ownership disputes, valuation, tax exemption, and many others. Mr. Long has served in many roles with the State Bar of Michigan Real Property Law Section and is currently secretary on the executive board. He often writes and presents on real property and tax issues and authored the comprehensive “Real and Personal Property Tax” chapter of Real Estate Taxes in Michigan, published by the Institute for Continuing Legal Education.
