President

James is a solid attorney who I highly recommend. He has successfully represented our company on several employment matters. Within minutes of first talking with him I knew we had the right attorney. He quickly confirmed this by saving us a lot of money in these employment settlements. Working with someone who has the ability to communicate complex legal jargon in a way I can understand is just a bonus! James has done a variety of other things for us over the last 5 years, always putting our company's best interests at heart. His respectful yet aggressive can do attitude, backed with results, really sets him apart. His counsel and reliability are invaluable. James will continue to be our attorney for many years to come.

Employment lawyer partnering with HR and other Executives to reduce liabilities, improve employee relationships, train, & enhance performance.

I was the 2004 summer associate at Maddin Hauser and have been there ever since. I am currently on the council of the State Bar of Michigan Employment Section and am the Resource Partner Director of Michigan Society of Human Resource Management. I am the immediate past Director of the Oakland County Bar Association Employment Section.

When I am not working, I love spending time with my family and playing sports (softball, volleyball, basketball, tennis). I am currently an active cyclist and race nearly every weekend in the spring/summer.

I also love to play chess/cards.
