About Michael
Michael Zamzow earned his Juris Doctor from Western Michigan University. He completed his legal education there before entering practice in Michigan and later gaining admission to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
He began practicing law in Michigan and advanced into partnership roles early in his career. In 2013 he became a partner at Zamzow PLLC. Three years later, in 2016, he took on a partner role at Zamzow Fabian PLLC. Those positions mark a steady progression from associate-level responsibilities to firm leadership and management.
Zamzow is licensed to practice by the Michigan Bar Association and holds courtroom admission in the Sixth Circuit. He remains an active member of several professional organizations, including the Michigan Bar Association, the Grand Rapids Bar Association and the Litigation Section of the Michigan Bar Association. He also participates in the Grand Rapids Economics Club, where he engages with business leaders and other local professionals on community and economic issues.
Throughout his career Zamzow has balanced private practice duties with participation in bar and community groups. His membership in the Litigation Section signals regular involvement in contested matters and in appellate work at the circuit level. He has practiced before state courts in Michigan and in federal appellate proceedings where questions of law and procedural strategy often play a decisive role.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical. He tends to break large problems into discrete legal issues. That style is apparent in both courtroom filings and in pretrial preparation. At the firm level he has taken on client counseling, case management and litigation responsibilities tied to civil disputes.
At Zamzow Fabian PLLC he works alongside other lawyers and support staff to handle matters arising in the region. The firm lists an office in Grand Rapids. His day-to-day work includes motion practice, discovery oversight and appellate briefing in cases that proceed beyond trial. He stays current through ongoing participation in bar sections and local professional groups.
Zamzow maintains an active license through the Michigan Bar Association and practices in both Michigan and the Sixth Circuit. His current practice centers on civil litigation and appellate work in Michigan and the Sixth Circuit.
