About Reese
Reese Serra built a clear path from political science undergraduate to practicing lawyer in Michigan. She completed a Bachelor of Science in Political Science at Oakland University in 2007. She then attended Thomas M. Cooley Law School, earning her Juris Doctor in 2010 after beginning the program in 2007.
Early in her career Serra established herself in the Michigan legal community. She is licensed to practice in Michigan and holds a Notary Public commission from the state. Those credentials allow her to handle both courtroom matters and routine notarial duties for clients across the state.
Her work history centers on private practice. Serra is listed at THE PRIVATE FIRM, where she provides legal services to individuals and businesses. Colleagues describe her as methodical in her approach. She takes time to gather facts and to frame problems in practical terms. That steadiness can matter to clients facing deadlines or complex filings.
Serra’s office work often involves direct client interaction. She prepares documents, advises on procedural steps, and represents clients before state agencies and tribunals when necessary. She also performs notarial acts, a service that clients find useful when dealing with real estate documents, affidavits, and powers of attorney. Her training at Cooley gave her exposure to litigation and transactional practice, and she applies that training to the matters she handles daily.
Outside of client work Serra has engaged with professional peers. She joined bar-related activities after law school and has maintained ties to Michigan’s legal networks. That involvement keeps her current on court rules and filing procedures. It also offers a venue to discuss practical issues that affect local practitioners.
People who work with Serra say she favors clear, plain-language explanations over legalese. She emphasizes timelines and next steps. That clarity is useful whether a matter resolves quickly or requires extended attention.
As a Michigan-licensed attorney and an active Notary Public, Serra continues to practice at THE PRIVATE FIRM. She provides legal representation and notarial services to clients in Michigan and manages matters that require careful procedural handling and direct client counsel.
