Maddin Hauser is pleased to announce that James E. Johnson, Justin P. Lauer, and Patrick E. Quinn have joined the firm as associates. The addition of these attorneys deepens our capabilities and underscores the firm’s commitment to strategic growth.
“We are thrilled to welcome JJ and Patrick, and to have Justin join us officially as an associate after graduating from law school,” said Ron Sollish, Maddin Hauser’s president and CEO. “JJ has terrific litigation experience and brings a deep understanding of guiding clients through the toughest times in their careers. Patrick’s litigation foundation and solutions-focused approach strengthen our capabilities, benefiting the increasing client demand. Justin first impressed us as a summer associate, and we are excited to watch him grow. Onboarding new talent is vital to Maddin Hauser’s future and dedication to being the law firm of choice for our clients.”

Justin works with attorneys throughout the firm on a wide range of litigation, transactional, and business matters. A former Maddin Hauser summer associate, he was admitted to the Michigan bar in November 2026.
As part of Maddin Hauser’s Complex Litigation and Risk Advisory group, Patrick represents businesses and individuals in commercial, construction, and probate disputes. He is also actively involved in surety claims and litigation, approaching all matters with a big-picture perspective that doesn’t sacrifice the attention to detail essential for success in contested matters involving multifaceted financial and legal nuance.
