About
Unparalleled Reputation and Experience
Since our founding in 1988, MHSA has earned the reputation as one of Michigan's leading lobbying firms. Crain's Detroit Business and Inside Michigan Politics have consistently placed MHSA among the top firms lobbying in Michigan. MHSA's substantive experience, professional approach, unique problem-solving skills and unmatched creative energies allow it to consider every aspect of an issue while developing and implementing successful strategies.
Ethics & Integrity
MHSA has worked tirelessly over the years to earn the reputation as a trusted and honest broker/advocate in state government. MHSA's client service is second to none - as is our commitment to the highest ethical standards. Our superior ethical conduct forms not only the foundation of our company, but reflects upon the reputation of our clients and our own families.
Current MHSA clients include corporations, non-profit associations, health care providers, social service agencies, universities, governmental bodies, and a wide spectrum of highly-successful organizations. The fact that multinational companies such as Northwest Airlines, Genentech, Inc., IBM, and Procter & Gamble turn to MHSA for advice is a convincing indication of the firm's history, expertise, and integrity.
Personalized Service and Communication
MHSA's clients range in size from Fortune 500 companies to non-profit organizations or small start-up companies and MHSA serves them all, regardless of size, with an equal commitment and sense of urgency to their specific needs. Depending on the expertise required, MHSA clients have access to all eight professional lobbyists on staff and their individual areas of knowledge and skill.
MHSA services include regular communication regarding relevant legislative and administrative actions, including an immediate alert and distribution by MHSA of newly introduced legislative proposals identified as having critical importance to the organization. MHSA clients also receive a monthly listing, specialized for each client, of all the bills MHSA is lobbying in the Legislature, including the status and a brief description of each.
MHSA clients receive a weekly newsletter, This Week in Lansing, which highlights the latest major legislative, administrative and regulatory activity, providing clients with an up-to-date overview of the environment within which their issues are being considered.
Bipartisan Approach to Advocacy
Due to its time-tested philosophy of maintaining strong relationships with both sides of the aisle, MHSA is uniquely prepared to be a powerful advocate for its clients regardless of the individual or party that controls the executive and legislative branches of government. Today, and in the future, MHSA has the expertise to "open new doors" and put its clients' interests on the decision-making table.
