Neighborhood Bars Attorney

Michigan Liquor License Attorneys

Getting a Class C liquor license in Michigan is not always easy. The state closely examines applications, and cities and townships have broad discretion to approve or disapprove a license. Municipalities limit permits based on proximity to other bars, restaurants, schools and other facilities. They will closely examine your background as well. Even a misdemeanor offense many years ago can cause them to question or delay the approval of a license.

Carlin Edwards Brown PLLC is a firm that helps neighborhood bar owners obtain liquor licenses. When it comes to Class C licenses, we are experienced, efficient and cost-effective.
