Few attorneys have the insight of a Certified Public Accountant when it comes to bankruptcy law and commercial litigation. But Leon N. Mayer brings this unique talent to the negotiating table at Schafer and Weiner. He joined the firm after practicing public accounting for five years and then graduating summa cum laude from the Detroit College of Law (DCL) at Michigan State University in 1999. Mayer received many achievement awards — in criminal law, commercial transactions, basic income taxation and professional responsibility — during his time at DCL.

He was also a Dean Charles H. King Scholar. As a member of the DCL Law Review, Mayer authored a casenote analyzing the funding of special education in Michigan, just another addition to his growing list of accomplishments.
