Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I met Nick when he was an assistant prosecutor over in Oakland County. Tough, fair-minded and diligent, I know that he will do very well as a criminal defense attorney. He has that rare ability to keep his eye on the ball in the midst of the chaos that can be any metro courthouse."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
