Distance wise, sure, but getting downtown is either a straight shot on I-75, or if that's backed up you take Woodward. Bloomfield Hills to Novi [[their office is actually at 8 and Haggerty) involves Telegraph, 696, and 275, with very few other good options if those are backed up. And regardless of what we think, a Varnum attorney told me their lawyers that live in that area were pushing hard for a downtown office for commute reasons.
For lawyers in general, they need to get to courts in Detroit, Pontiac, Mt. Clemens, and sometimes Ann Arbor or Flint. That's why so many law offices are located in Southfield - easy drives to both Downtown Detroit and Pontiac.
