Longtime Petoskey law firm
Stroup Erhart and Lyons has not only a new name, but two new lawyers joining the company.
William Meengs and Jennifer Deegan are the two new hires, and will work from the firm's offices in Pennsylvania Plaza in Petoskey. In addition, Meengs' name is now part of the firm's; it will be Stroup Erhart, Lyons and Meengs, P.C.
Meengs has been practicing law for 18 years and focuses on estate planning, elder law, real estate and corporate law. A Petoskey native, he graduated from the University of Louisville School of Law in 1994. Most recently, he has been the owner and principal attorney of Meengs Law Group.
Deeganm, of Harbor Springs, has more than 16 years of experience and focuses on family law, divorce, criminal law, juvenile proceedings and general law. She graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy's School of Law in 1996, and her background includes work as a prosecutor in Wayne, Sanilac and Charlevoix counties.
Nathaniel Stroup, partner with the firm, says Meengs and Deegan bring new blood and a wealth of experience to the table.
"The firm is fortunate to have secured the services of two highly respected and experienced attorneys in the area to join our team," Stroup says. "Our team is now more age diverse, and poised to continue offering the same high-quality legal services that the firm has offered in Northern Michigan since 1959."
Meengs and Deegan joined a legal team that also includes attorneys Jim Erhart, Pete Lyons and Jane Nelson.
