Details
Attorney Lana A. Panagoulia is the founder of Lana Panagoulia Law, PLLC, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She practices exclusively in the area of family law, handling matters involving divorce, adoption, child support, custody, guardianships, parenting time, property division, same sex family law and other domestic issues. She serves clients in the Ann Arbor, Detroit and Jackson metropolitan areas as well as throughout southeast Michigan in Genesee, Lenawee, Livingston, Oakland and Washtenaw counties.
Ms. Panagoulia has more than a decade of experience and strives to provide high-quality divorce and family law representation. She is dedicated to serving individuals, children and families in all types of family law matters. She speaks French, Greek and Spanish, which allows her to communicate with a diverse range of clients.
Although Ms. Panagoulia runs a full-service law firm able to help individuals with all their legal needs, she chooses to concentrate her practice on domestic relations cases. This allows her to provide her clients with the best possible services and create solutions that meet their specific needs.
In addition to running her law firm, Ms. Panagoulia is a member of the Washtenaw County Bar Association and a former co-chair of the association’s family law section. She is a barrister of The Washtenaw County American Inn of Court, treasurer of the Washtenaw Association for Justice and president of the Hellenic Bar Association of Michigan.
Ms. Panagoulia earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of Michigan. She then received a master’s degree in teaching at Wayne State University College of Education before obtaining her law degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
