Timothy J. Orlebeke

One of Tim's specialties is real estate law, which includes commercial and residential property transactions, condominium development and conversions, and representation of management companies, real estate brokers, developers, landlords and tenants. Tim's practice also encompasses virtually all aspects of business law, and he regularly forms and represents corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships.

His non-profit real estate development clients include the three most successful in West Michigan. In the past 20 years, these clients have built or renovated more than 2500 units of high-quality, safe, and affordable housing, and offered them for sale or rent. This creative blending of housing, state and federal historic rehabilitation, and new markets credits, with available public funds, has leveraged tens of millions of dollars of private investment in the creation of housing, commercial and office space that otherwise would never have been built.

Tim is the proud father of 4 boys, ranging from toddler through college-age. He is active in coaching, church, and scouting. He and his family live in Grand Rapids.
