Ottenwess Law

Founded on Successful Advocacy for Medical Providers

Founding Partner David Ottenwess has practiced law in Michigan for more than thirty years.David co-founded the firm, originally known as Wulfmeier and Ottenwess Law, PLC in 1997, and has continued to serve as the Founding Partner as the firm has continued to evolve and grow over the past twenty years.David?s practice is rooted in litigation, with unparalleled experience in medical malpractice and professional liability defense.

As the firm grew over time, David added talented Partners and Associates who not only complimented his experience and expertise, but also diversified the firm?s practice areas.As a result, the firm?s initial expertise in professional liability defense and general litigation soon began to broaden into the business side of medicine, as the constantly shifting regulatory environment demanded the addition of healthcare transactional expertise.Today, we have successfully merged the litigation and business side of healthcare related matters, which includes billion-dollar healthcare clients in addition to individual physicians, professional partnerships and physician groups, clinics, and various hospital systems throughout Michigan.
