About Beverly M.

Beverly M. Griffor built an academic foundation that bridges law, psychology and compliance. She earned a B.A. from the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor where she studied psychology, criminology and social inequality. She took up legal studies at Ave Maria School of Law and later returned to graduate school, completing an MBA in Legal and Financial Compliance at the Florida Institute of Technology (2013), a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate Institute (2016) and a Master of Science in Experimental Psychology from Eastern Michigan University (2017).

Her career has been shaped by that interdisciplinary training. She is listed as a lawyer at Collis and Griffor PC, where she combines legal practice with an analytical approach informed by behavioral science and regulatory study. Those academic choices give her a framework for reviewing evidence, assessing risk and preparing cases for contested proceedings.

Griffor’s admissions cover state and federal courts. She is admitted to practice in Michigan and holds admission to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court. Her federal admissions extend to the Northern District of Illinois and to the Sixth and Seventh U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal. That mix of state and appellate credentials means she handles matters that can move between trial courts and higher tribunals.

In practice she works on matters that require both a legal and a compliance-oriented perspective. Her MBA in legal and financial compliance sits alongside advanced study in psychology. That combination informs how she approaches client counseling, document review and litigation strategy. She has experience preparing filings for district and appellate courts and in framing arguments that reflect both legal precedent and factual dynamics.

Outside the courtroom, Griffor maintains professional memberships that connect her to peers in law and related disciplines. She has continued academic engagement through graduate study and applies that background to practical case work. She is based at Collis and Griffor PC and regularly appears in state and federal forums. Her current practice concentrates on representation in state and federal matters handled through Collis and Griffor PC.
