Miller Canfield advises on sale of Charles Reinhart Company
The law firm of Miller Canfield served as legal adviser to Charles Reinhart Company, a real estate firm founded 43 years ago in Ann Arbor, on its sale to Real Estate One, of Southfield, effective September 10.
“As a longstanding part of the Ann Arbor business community, we were very pleased to be a part of this deal combining two of Washtenaw County’s top real estate brokerages,” said Jeffrey L. LaBine, corporate and M&A principal at Miller Canfield. “Leveraging local and national specialists allowed us to bring the right people to the team to assist Reinhart in this key milestone in the growth of an Ann Arbor institution.”
The Miller Canfield team, led by LaBine and real estate principal Joseph M. Fazio, included employee benefits principal Kenneth J. Sachs and corporate lawyer Amita Gopinath.
“The Miller Canfield team was critical in helping us successfully and quickly navigate through what is a very complex process,” said Reinhart President Dave Lutton. “We’re extremely pleased with the outcome and excited to see both organizations get stronger in the future.”

Lawyer: Kids removed from home because parents use medical pot
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A lawyer says two children have been removed from a Lansing home because parents use medical marijuana.
A judge last week granted the state’s request to remove a 6-month-old girl and a 6-year-old boy from the home of Maria and Gordon “Steve” Green. They have been placed with relatives.
Attorney Joshua Covert says the Greens have cards permitting them to use marijuana. Maria Green also is registered to grow pot for others. Covert says child welfare workers acted after Maria Green’s former husband complained. He’s the father of the boy.
The state won’t comment. Dozens of people rallied Tuesday in Lansing to support the Greens.
In May, Attorney General Bill Schuette said parents who use medical marijuana aren't disqualified from having custody of children, although there can be exceptions.
