T. Scott Galloway

As a founding member of Galloway and Collens, PLLC, T. Scott Galloway focuses his practice primarily on real estate transactions, litigation, and the mediation of real estate disputes. From the firm’s office in Huntington Woods, Michigan, he represents businesses, including real estate brokerages, other real estate professionals, and individuals in the greater Detroit metropolitan area and throughout the state. 

Mr. Galloway’s experience has encompassed both commercial real estate, residential real estate, real estate brokerage law and professional licensure issues. His client base is comprised of purchasers, sellers, investors, real estate brokers and agents, contractors, landlords, and commercial tenants. Mr. Galloway also works with religious institutions, helping them to assess their real estate facilities and develop strategic plans for the sale or further development of their real property as well as with the purchase of land or buildings.

As an attorney and former city councilperson, Mr. Galloway has spent much of his 30-year professional career mediating and resolving challenging and emotionally-charged disputes between individuals and businesses. His gentle presence puts the parties at ease and facilitates communication in a manner intended to guide the parties to a fair, equitable, and timely resolution of their conflict in a cost-effective manner. Mediation is especially well suited to resolving disputes between adjoining property owners since, in most instances, the parties will remain neighbors after the immediate matter is resolved. An agreement reached by the parties, rather than one imposed upon them by a court, has a greater likelihood of creating the peace that neighbors generally seek.

Mr. Galloway has additionally worked on matters involving boundary line disputes, adverse possession claims, housing and construction defects, disputes between landlords and tenants, land use and zoning issues, conveyances, contractor and subcontractor liens, and contract breaches. He has been very active in organizations related to his practice areas, including having served as a member of the board of directors of the Greater Metropolitan Association of REALTORS. His other professional memberships have included the Real Property Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan. Active in his community as well, Mr. Galloway is a former mayor pro tempore of the city of Ferndale and he has served on the board of directors of several charitable organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club of Oakland and Macomb Counties. He is a graduate of the Indiana University Maurer School of Law and the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor.
