I believe the Constitution applies to Drunk Driving cases! Drunk Driving is a criminal offense, that must be handled with thought, determination, and creativity. Nothing can take the place of thorough investigation and preparation, as well as complete understanding of the law and how the law applies to a particular case. Not to be lost in the process is the recognition that a defense attorney is working with a unique person, who must be treated with concern as an individual. I am completely dedicated to these concepts! On a personal note, I am a tennis player and avid gardener, and was a youth baseball coach until my kids outgrew my expertise. I am a big baseball and football fan, as well as a fan of women’s college basketball (look at where I got my M.F.A. degree and you may understand why). I do volunteer work for my undergraduate alma mater, The Parade Company, The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, and the Michigan Regional Lily Society.

I went to the MI/SOS website, it stated you don’t necessarily need an attorney to get your license revocation cleared. The small print sa...
Thank you James! I'm glad it all worked out well for you. Just for the record, UConn is a name for the University of Connecticut Huskies basketball teams, where I went to grad school, before law school.

Frank was helpful here on Avvo.com
Frank answered a question I had regarding a speeding ticket, with great detail. He made it easy to understand and took the time to think of new questions that I'd likely have, and answered them preemptively. He was very helpful :)
