Michigan Liquor Control Commission
The Governor of Michigan selects five members to lead the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. These members control the traffic of alcohol within the state. The MLCC regulates individuals or businesses involved in the selling and distribution of alcohol, and protects those who are consuming it.

Our Experience and Attention to Detail can Make the Decisive Difference
Our Michigan liquor licensing practice has a statewide reputation as specialists working with the Michigan Liquor Control Commission to help businesses obtain a liquor license. One of the keys to our success at hearings before local decision makers and the MLCC is our attention to detail and ability to prepare the record of your application for a potential appeal. Our presentation is designed to establish your right to positive action in clear and easily understood terms. In 2007, clients of our firm were granted many of the special licenses statewide outside the local quota process.
