Description

Kassem Dakhlallah does not back down. His first-ever court hearing, a few days after becoming a licensed attorney, was a motion to dismiss a case against his client. The opposing attorney had nearly 30 years of experience. Kassem had less than 30 days of experience. After a 30-minute argument, Kassem prevailed for his client – a mid-sized local medical clinic. That feeling of knowing that the wrong things have been put right has been Kassem’s driving force as an attorney ever since. And the string of victories has not stopped.
Kassem obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in Computer Science.  Kassem worked for several years as a software engineer before going to law school.  Because of his background in engineering, Kassem sees every big problem as a series of little problems that can easily be overcome.  Kassem brings this mindset to every case.  That’s part of the reason why Kassem does not back down in the courtroom.  He knows that every problem, no matter how big it appears, can be broken down and solved successfully.
Kassem serves as a Wayne County Business Court case evaluator.  He regularly handles cases in the various Michigan Business Courts.  He was voted Super Lawyers – Rising Star in 2014, 2015 and 2016 in the Business Law category.
Kassem earned his law degree from Wayne State University Law School.  While in law school, Kassem was the president of the Business Law Society.  Additionally, he was an editor of the Wayne Law Review.  Kassem also co-founded the Middle East Law Students Association – a non-political student group that seeks to foster dialogue and understanding between people of all faiths – Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or whatever.
