About Alan
Alan Himelhoch has been a steady presence in Michigan’s legal community for decades. He is known for courtroom work and for an analytical approach that reflects both legal training and an early study in economics. He blends practical trial technique with an eye for the numbers behind a dispute.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in economics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, completing his undergraduate degree in 1981. He went on to study law at Indiana University Maurer School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1988. At Maurer he took coursework in trial law and strategy, an emphasis that has shaped the arc of his practice.
After law school, Himelhoch built a practice in Michigan. He is licensed to practice in the state. Over more than three decades he has maintained a steady litigation practice, appearing in state courts and preparing cases for trial. Colleagues describe him as deliberate in preparation and straightforward in court. He approaches fact development methodically and values clear presentation to judges and juries.
Himelhoch’s economics background informs his view of many disputes. He applies that training when evaluating damages, assessing financial records, and developing themes that connect complex facts to legal claims. His law school training in trial strategy complements that analytical bent. Together they give him a practical toolkit for litigating contested matters.
His work history includes extended periods of courtroom practice, motion work, and trial preparation. He favors careful document review and layered witness preparation. He is comfortable conducting direct and cross-examination and in presenting technical evidence in accessible terms. This combination has formed the core of his professional identity: a lawyer who prepares cases to be resolved at trial when necessary and to be understood along the way.
Outside the courtroom he keeps abreast of developments in trial practice and in the economic issues that intersect with litigation. He has practiced continuously in Michigan and has adapted to shifts in procedure and evidence practice over time. As of 2026 he maintains an active practice in Michigan focusing on trial litigation.
