Our Philosophy 

Grosse Pointe Law Center was launched in 2012 when founder Heather Bendure decided to create a boutique law firm dedicated to serving clients with divorce and other family law issues.  The firm, located in Grosse Pointe, represents men and women in Wayne and Macomb counties in their divorce, custody, child support, Friend of the Court or other family law cases.

Our motto is collaboratively whenever possible, aggressively whenever necessary. It’s no secret that litigation and especially divorce litigation is stressful.  It’s also expensive.  If you can work out your differences with the other party and eventually come to a fair agreement, you should.  If that’s not possible, we have the knowledge, the experience and the skill to effectively advocate for you in the courtroom.

Heather Bendure, Esq.

While we have other people working behind the scenes, Heather Bendure is the primary attorney you'll be working with.  Heather has practiced family law exclusively for more than half of her career. She knows the law, knows the judges and mediators, knows most other family law attorneys in the area, and often has a good idea of how cases might play out given the cast of characters. She thinks well-informed clients should decide what’s best for them, their children and their families.  She offers compassionate guidance to help clients make good decisions.

Heather completed her training in collaborative law almost 20 years ago and has extensive mediation, arbitration and negotiation experience. Before she founded her own firm, Heather was senior trial attorney at a local civil rights firm and feels at home in the courtroom. She knows how to methodically and effectively develop, prepare and present a case for trial. Heather appreciates the trust her clients put in her and believes customer service is just as important as effectiveness in the courtroom. Even on hectic days, you can expect Heather to respond to most phone calls, e-mails and texts within a couple of hours.

​Heather has been admitted to practice law in the United States Supreme Court, Michigan State Courts and the Federal District Courts for the both the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan. She earned her J.D. from Wayne State University in 1999 and undergrad psychology degree at Michigan State University. You can learn more about Heather
