I have owned my own firm since 1999, and have had a passion for criminal defense since I passed the bar. My previous experience working at the Michigan Court of Appeals combines with my decades of legal experience and allows me to offer my clients aggressive, passionate, and top-notch representation. I am active in the legal community as a member of my local bar associations and through participation as a mentor in the Ingham County Bar Association's Sixty-Minute mentoring program. I have also appeared as a guest commentator on Court TV's Best Defense.

Joseph Brugnoli is the Best
Joe was the first Lawyer I have ever have had and I'm glad he was assigned to my case. As I do not have much knowledge about Michigan Law Enforcement processes, he took his time in explaining and walked me through what I need to do.
