About Eric
Biography
I was employed as an assistant prosecutor for over 14 years. Since leaving the prosecutors office, I have continued to work in Child Protection and Delinquency law. I am a recognized expert in Michigan Child Protection law, and have presented trainings to other attorneys on the subject. I currently serve as a council member on with the Children's Law Section of the Michigan State Bar. I have expanded my private practice to include criminal defense work. I enjoy working with those folks who the system has treated poorly. I have argued many child protection cases before the Michigan Court of Appeals; and appeared before the Michigan Supreme Court in October of 2015.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
Terrible
literally the worst lawyer anyone could ever get cursed with. He doesn't answer his phone..... i had to have the court message him to get in contact with me and then we talked for a brief moment he asked me to send him paperwork and told me he'd call me back with an update and that was 2 months ago.....
