About Janet M.
Janet M. Ziulkowski built her legal foundation in Detroit. She earned a B.A. in psychology, with honors, from Wayne State University in 1995. Two years later she completed her J.D. at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law. Those years set the stage for a steady career in Michigan courts.
She entered the State Bar of Michigan in 2000. The next year she gained admission to the federal benches in Michigan, joining the Eastern and Western District Courts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. In 2005 she joined the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers. She was admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2007. Those memberships map a path through state and federal practice that has continued into the present.
Her association with the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers points to an emphasis in consumer bankruptcy work. Over time she has handled matters that require dealings in both state and federal forums. Her record of admissions suggests frequent motion practice and court appearances at multiple levels. She has navigated bankruptcy matters that bring clients into district courts and the appeals process. The memberships also indicate active engagement with professional groups that focus on bankruptcy procedure and consumer relief options.
Colleagues and court records show a lawyer familiar with procedural detail. She maintains permissions to appear in federal bankruptcy matters in Michigan and has stayed current on the rules that govern those proceedings. Her education in psychology and law gives her tools for client interviewing and case assessment. That combination matters in consumer cases where financial facts and personal circumstances intersect.
Ziulkowski’s career arc is one of steady professional involvement rather than rapid ascent. She secured broad court admissions early in her practice and has kept them current. Membership in national and regional associations has provided ongoing exposure to changes in bankruptcy law and practice. She has remained active in the bar and retained the credentials required to represent clients in Michigan’s state courts and in federal bankruptcy venues.
She currently practices in Michigan and handles consumer bankruptcy matters, practicing before state and federal courts and maintaining active professional memberships related to bankruptcy law.
