How We Can Help
Legal matters can feel overwhelming. You don’t need to have all the answers, we’ll help you understand your options and guide you through each step.
Presque Isle County Lawyer
Legal issues rarely exist in isolation. They’re connected to your family, your work, your community, and your long-term plans. At Carig Law, we provide thoughtful guidance to individuals, businesses, and organizations in the Presque Isle County area who want clear answers and steady direction.
With over 20 years of experience, our work is grounded in a deep understanding of Northeast Michigan and the people who live and work here. We’ve built lasting relationships through active civic involvement and a genuine commitment to the communities we serve, because good legal advice starts with knowing the people behind the problem and the reality they live in every day.

Legal Services for the Bigger Picture
We support clients through life’s transitions and responsibilities, not just isolated legal events. That includes working with families planning for the future, business owners navigating growth and change, nonprofit leaders building mission-driven organizations, and complex local government affairs.
Our work includes estate planning and trust administration to help people protect their assets, plan for incapacity, and provide clarity for loved ones. We advise businesses at every stage, from formation and contract matters to long-term succession planning, helping owners make decisions that align with both immediate needs and future goals. We also support nonprofit organizations and public entities, offering guidance shaped by real-world operational insight rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Across all of these areas, we focus on highly customized guidance for local challenges. Larger or less locally connected firms may overlook the nuances that matter here. We don’t. And we work hard to make complex legal issues easier to understand and resolve, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Real People, Real Peace of Mind.

Katy Carignan has spent her legal career helping individuals build businesses, plan for the future, provide 501c3 assistance to nonprofits, drafting and reviewing contracts, and helping families through the estate and trust administration process.
