 Ross Plont joins Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman LLP

Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman LLP (GMNP), a Grand Rapids, Michigan-based law firm representing individuals in personal injury law, medical malpractice, as well as product liability and commercial litigation, has announced Ross D. Plont as its newest Attorney Associate.  
“We are honored to have Ross join our team as a full-time associate,” says William F. Mills, partner at Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman LLP. “His knowledge of the law, dedication to hard work, and passion for people make him a valued member of our firm, and we trust he will thrive in his capacity here.”    
Plont, who grew up in Ravenna, Michigan, attended Albion College before graduating Cum Laude from Thomas M. Cooley Law School, where he served as the editor-in-chief of the Thomas M. Cooley Law Review. Plont has been working at Gruel Mills Nims & Pylman LLP for a year, serving as a student extern and, more recently, a Law Clerk. He will now step into the role of Associate Attorney.   
“I was exposed to many emerging trends within law during my time at Thomas M. Cooley, so I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of matters that GMNP successfully handles for clients throughout the state,” said Plont. “In my new capacity, I am most excited, after having been with the firm for a year, to begin practicing law with such respected and talented attorneys who handle many high-profile cases.”
