Cottage Law Cottage Law is the practice area of The Penning Group focused on family cottage sharing and cottage succession planning. Our Suttons Bay office in the historic Depot is known nationally as "The Home of Cottage Law."
"The Home of Cottage Law" We acquired the general law practice, not the cottage law practice, of the late Stuart J. Hollander, located in the historic Suttons Bay Train Depot, at the end of 2007.
A centralized office in the Grand Traverse area in Leelanau County enhances our local involvement with our family of clients in northern Michigan - from Clare clear north of the Mackinac Bridge! Living and working in this community lets us know first-hand many day-to-day issues facing their families, property, industries and businesses.
