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.

5 Star Lawyer-Recommended for everyone!
I was ticketed for an MIP as well as disobeying a police officer (questionable on the second one). I didn't know really where to turn for a lawyer because I was away at college.
