Criminal Defense 70%

I was a Washtenaw County Public Defender from 1980 through 1997. I have been in private practice since then. I have done hundreds of felony cases including a number of murder cases in my career. In addition I have done too many misdemeanor cases to count. I practice in both state and federal courts. One recent focus of my practice has been firearms law and weapons cases generally.
