Attorney Adam Zuwerink - West Michigan Law, P.C.

As Director of Client Services at West Michigan Law, it is my pleasure to help draft legal documents, manage client workflows and estate plan signings, and collaborate with other professionals. It is my privilege to ensure attention to detail in all of it - because our work will affect your future, and the future of others. 


I studied Political Science and Religion as a Hay Scholar at Carthage College. Focusing specifically on Public Law and Judicial Politics, these studies fueled my love for justice and excellence as a part of the every day. I graduated summa cum laude with an award for “Outstanding Senior in Political Science.” 


I am an Ambassador with the West Coast Chamber of Commerce, a member of Inforum, and I formerly served on the board of directors for the Noon Rotary Club of Holland. Networking and continuing education enhance my ability to serve people and promote growth in all areas of our community.


I currently reside in Holland, Michigan with my wonderful husband Lucas, a fellow Carthage College alum. We currently have four children. (Ask me why we need more foster parents in Michigan!) I love learning ballet as an adult and going for hikes with my Doberman-Lab mix, Dublin.

Aris Knitter-Lee

Five Star Real Estate Lakeshore, L.L.C.

Professional. Dedicated. Neighbor.

I love my job because I get to spend my time working with clients to help them achieve their home ownership goals. Those goals can look very different from client to client. And even very different for the same client at different stages of life. I am honored when I am asked to walk along side my clients for what is usually one of the largest investment decisions one makes in life.

Each person or family brings a unique situation to the home buying and selling process. And that is just how I treat each one. I strive to meet the individual needs of each of my clients.

Being a life long resident of Western Michigan, I understand why people want to move to or remain living in the area. I've helped many families relocate to the area and its such a wonderful thing to share that experience with them, to see my home town area through their eyes. It makes me love where I live and love what I do even more.
