OR 18 YEARS, T. SCOTT GALLOWAY AND HOWARD COLLENS HAVE BEEN RUNNING THEIR LAW PRACTICE TOGETHER, serving the Metro Detroit community both legally and philanthropically. But their professional and personal relationship goes back much further. “Howard and I first met working for the UAW International Union during law school, then worked together at the UAW Legal Services Plan,” Galloway said. “We’ve worked together our entire professional careers!” When they decided to start their own practice in 2003, they knew two things: Both wanted to work closer to home and directly impact their local community, and they wouldn’t be able to bring any clients from their former jobs. “It was a little bit dicey. We had two attorneys, three computers and no clients when we opened. We’ve done nothing but build since,” Collens said. “And we really have been fortunate to be active members of the community the entire time.”
