About Michael

Michael Rolando earned his Juris Doctor from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School. He completed the legal curriculum that the school emphasizes: courtroom procedure, legal research, and client counseling. His time in law school included classroom work and practical exercises that prepared him for work in a private firm setting.

After law school, Rolando entered private practice. He joined Shoults, Picard & Brooks, PLLC, where he has worked on matters handled by the firm. Over the course of his practice he has gained experience managing cases, preparing filings, and advising clients through procedural stages of litigation and transactions.

Rolando’s work covers a range of matters typical for attorneys at a full-service regional firm. He counsels individuals and businesses, drafts legal documents, and handles dispute-resolution processes. He balances courtroom appearances, negotiation sessions, and client meetings. Colleagues describe his approach as methodical and detail-oriented when preparing for hearings and case strategy.

In day-to-day practice he splits time between client consultation and case preparation. He spends time researching legal precedents, drafting pleadings, and coordinating with opposing counsel. His hours often include court appearances at local venues and client meetings at the office. He also works with support staff and co-counsel on discovery and trial readiness.

Rolando practices from the firm’s Caro office. That location serves as a base for his client work in the surrounding communities. He handles matters for people who prefer local counsel and for businesses that require regular attention to compliance and contract issues. The Caro office functions as part of the firm’s broader footprint across the region.

Throughout his career at Shoults, Picard & Brooks, PLLC Rolando has focused on serving clients in practical ways. He emphasizes clear communication about case status and realistic assessments of timelines. His practice involves coordination with other lawyers at the firm when matters require specialized expertise.

As of 2026, Rolando continues to practice law at Shoults, Picard & Brooks, PLLC, operating from the firm’s Caro office and handling a mix of client advisory and litigation-related responsibilities.
