Helping people solve legal problems is what I enjoy.
Estate planning, for example, permits me to share a client's satisfaction in completing something important after putting it off for months or, often, years.
Family law provides me the opportunity to lend advice at a time clients feel the press of change and the anxiety that brings.
Real estate and business may sound dry but each case has human elements that add important twists and turns to the transaction or dispute.
In my spare time I am an automobile enthusiast (I live in Michigan after all), enjoy well written histories, and I am a fan of jazz. My wife, Mary, and I live in a small town a few miles outside of Ann Arbor where we are within minutes of our children and grandchildren.
