Leaders Recognized as Michigan's
Most Effective
Lobbyists
Frank J. Kelley is
the longest-serving state attorney
general in U.S. history and the greatest vote-getter in Michigan
history.
He is also publicly-acknowledged by Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm
as her
mentor and top informal advisor.
In 1999, Mr. Kelley co-founded the firm
with Dennis O.
Cawthorne, a former Republican caucus leader in the Michigan
House and a
pre-eminent lawyer and entrepreneur twice named Michigan’s
single most
effective lobbyist by Inside Michigan Politics. The firm has
quickly
distinguished itself by being named as one of the state’s top five (5)
most
effective lobbying organizations in the same independent survey
conducted by
Inside Michigan Politics.
Three of the firm’s
attorney/lobbyists were also
recognized as being among the state’s top twenty individual lobbyists.
As stated by a published response in that survey, we are “[l]awyers who
truly
know politics.”
