About Troy
Biography
I am a native of Bedford, Michigan, just across the state line from Toledo, Ohio. When I'm not defending clients, I enjoy coaching high school basketball, supporting Cleveland, Ohio's pro sports teams, and taking walks with my family and our dogs.
I was inspired as a young man to become an attorney who was dedicated to defending his clients and ensuring their rights were protected. As a criminal defense lawyer, I have handled hundreds of high-level felony cases, as well as more than 1,000 defendants charged with misdemeanor offenses.
I believe in straightforward honest communication with every client and strive to make sure my clients have all the information they need to make informed decisions about their lives.
