Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 15

Relationship: Co-worker

"Matt is one of the best attorneys that I have ever seen, which is why, when he asked me to join him as a partner, I had no reservations. He not only knows the law, but he is also incredibly creative and thinks outside of the box. His numerous wins at both the Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals should be the only endorsement needed."
