Carly F. Cruickshank

Attorney
Grand Rapids, MI

Concentrating primarily on municipal and employment law, my practice focuses on the relationships between people, businesses, and government.  My goal is to facilitate these relationships through clear communication, efficient planning, and problem-solving that protects my client’s interests and delivers practical solutions.  Prior to entering private practice, I served as a law clerk in the Michigan Court of Appeals, where I gained invaluable experience and developed strong research and writing skills.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, visiting museums, and cooking.  As a transplant from Michigan’s Eastside, I have greatly enjoyed exploring West Michigan.  I am also a lifelong golfer, who can be found spending my summers on the golf course.
