About the firm
A firm built for the decisions that reshape a family.
Quist Homier Law is a West Michigan family-law firm founded by Courtney Quist and Barbra Homier. The firm represents individuals and families through divorce, custody, financial disputes, and post-judgment proceedings — with the conviction that the right legal strategy depends on understanding the full picture first.
Why the firm exists
Family-law counsel built around what actually happens next.
Courtney Quist and Barbra Homier founded this firm around a shared conviction: that effective family-law representation requires understanding the whole situation — not just the legal issue on the surface.
A divorce is not only a legal proceeding. It involves parenting relationships, financial futures, a home, often a business, and the day-to-day life of everyone in the family. The decisions made during a case shape outcomes for years afterward.
The firm was built to handle those decisions with care — and with the range of skills that different situations demand.
Process selection
Resolution without assumption.
Low-conflict resolution can be beneficial when the circumstances support it. Negotiated settlements, mediated agreements, and collaborative processes often produce outcomes that are more durable, more private, and more workable than litigation results.
But not every matter is appropriate for the same process. The firm does not assume that every case should be amicable — or that every conflict must be resolved in court. The right process depends on the people, the issues, and the facts.
Preparation
Prepared, whichever path the matter takes.
Careful legal and factual preparation does not conflict with the goal of settlement. It supports it. A party who understands the facts, knows the law, and has thought through the consequences is better positioned to make good decisions — whether at the negotiating table or at a hearing.
Quist Homier Law prepares cases as though they may be litigated — even when the goal is settlement. That preparation changes what is possible.
What guides the firm
The values that shape how we work.
These are working commitments rather than slogans — they determine how the firm prepares a matter and what it tells a client.
Clarity
Clients deserve a clear understanding of their legal situation — what is at stake, what their options are, and what the realistic range of outcomes looks like.
Preparation
Careful factual and legal preparation produces better outcomes at every stage, whether a matter is resolved by agreement or by court order.
Candor
The attorneys are direct about what the law allows, what the facts support, and what risks a proposed course of action carries.
Respect
Family-law matters are deeply personal. The firm treats clients, opposing counsel, and the process with professional respect throughout.
Practical problem-solving
The goal is a durable, workable resolution — not a perfect legal argument that produces an unworkable result.
