Firm History
Lamson Humphreys, PLC is a fourth generation law firm tracing its history back to 1882 when Walter J. Lamson graduated from the U of M Law School and returned to Saginaw. Walter had moved to Saginaw at the age of 14 in 1873 to work in the lumber industry as a lumber scaler and "river hog".
Walter's son, Maurice W. Lamson, joined him in the practice of law in 1929 after "studying law" in his father's office and with a Michigan Supreme Court Justice. Unfortunately, Walter Lamson passed away five years after joining forces with his son.
Maurice continued to practice law on his own until joined by his son-in-law, B. J. Humphreys, in 1957. At that time, the firm of Lamson Humphreys was originally created. The firm operated in the First Savings and Loan Building in downtown Saginaw for nearly 30 years.
The present generation of Lamson Humphreys Law came to being in the fall of 2015. B. J. Humphreys had merged his law firm with the law firm of Smith & Brooker in 1984 and in 1992, John D. L. Humphreys joined the firm.
B. J. and John Humphreys practiced together with multiple other lawyers until the Lamson Humphreys firm was re-established in the fall of 2015.
Returning to it's roots, the firm relocated to downtown Saginaw in 2019 and currently occupies space in the historic Morley Building owned by the Saginaw Community Foundation.
After 66 years of legal practice and service to his community, B. J. Humphreys passed away in 2023.
