Mr. Tanis is a managing partner at Tanis Schultz and his practice focuses on representing injured clients for auto accidents, dog bites, and other personal injury cases. Mr. Tanis also represents businesses with formation, succession planning and corporate counsel. Mr. Tanis received his undergraduate degree from Grand Valley State University in Political Science and Philosophy.

Whatever your legal needs, the diversely experienced team of attorneys at Tanis Schultz in Grand Rapids are here to help. We represent clients in all types of legal situations, including car accidents, divorce, criminal defense, driver's license restoration, worker's compensation, estate planning, social security, and more.
Car accidents occur every day in Michigan, causing drivers and vehicle occupants serious injuries or even death. The result of these accidents can lead to mounting medical bills, loss of income due to the inability to work, intense pain and suffering, and, in the worst cases, permanent disability or loss of life.
Being charged with a crime, whether a misdemeanor or felony, is a serious matter. Even if you are not facing jail time, having a criminal conviction on your record will limit your opportunities for employment, housing, and more. The first thing you need to do after an arrest is find a skilled Grand Rapids criminal defense attorney.

Elizabeth Yard helped me win my disability case, which was 3 years in the making. Without this offices expert advice, professionalism, attention to detail and preparation I would still be disabled without benefits. I could cry I’m so thankful for Ms. Yard and her office. I won my case and I feel so much relief and gratefulness. Do NOT apply for disability benefits without her help! You’ll thank yourself later.

Jonathan has helped me with a family law case. Everything he did was smooth and it took a huge burden off of me. I appreciate that he took the time to email me at every step to let me know what was going on. Often times, with other lawyers, I was kept in limbo while I tried to get a hold of them. Jonathan was very professional and I will continue to use his services should anything else arise with my divorce case.

Megan Smith helped me with my Driver's license restoration case in Michigan, as I live in Washington. With the long distance she made it easy with step by step -hand holding -perfection and positive reinforcement witch I needed. The case went well and worth every Pennie. I thank the Creator for putting me in Megan's hands. Thank you, Megan, for the "we got this" before the Hearing and such intelligent professionalism with the ending Statement. Thank you, Howard

I am forever grateful for the dedication and follow-up Megan Mast showed towards my case. Her confidence, knowledge and "cheerleader" mentality was very much appreciated as I doubted what the outcome might be. Her attention to to detail and constant communication gave me a sense of security that my case was important to her. I highly recommend Tanis Schultz Law Firm and Megan Mast.
