Ms. MacGregor joined Grabel & Associates in 2015 after previously starting her career as an attorney in private practice in the city of Manistique, which is located in the Upper Peninsula. She is a panel member of the Schoolcraft County Drug Court, Military Veteran’s Court, and Mental Health Court. In these courts, Ms. MacGregor works to help her clients towards rehabilitation in order to avoid jail. These courts are known as ‘diversionary’ courts and are meant to help tackle specific issues with certain groups of people who show a promise that they can get their substance or mental health issues under control, so they do not reoffend. If someone is successful in a diversionary court, he or she can avoid jail and/or a criminal conviction.

Ms. MacGregor was born in Arizona but has lived in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula since she was a child. She grew up in the city of Manistique and graduated from Manistique high school. She finished her undergraduate studies at Northern Michigan University, graduating summa cum laude while earning a degree in Pre-Law and minors in both Communications and Chemistry. Ms. MacGregor followed that by earning her law degree from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. She began her career as an attorney in 2014 after she passed the Michigan bar exam and was licensed.

Ms. MacGregor is an active member of:

• The State Bar of Michigan;
• The American Bar Association;
