A Tradition of Quality Representation
Marian L. Faupel founded Faupel & Associates in 1990. In 2007, Marian Faupel, James Fraser, and Paul Fessler created Faupel, Fraser & Fessler and quickly established a reputation as an aggressive Michigan firm of attorneys with extensive knowledge and experience in many areas of law.
