Probate 30%

I’ve helped beneficiaries, personal representatives and trustees handle sensitive estate administration issues including: * Estates with difficult and unusual assets; * Defending or challenging a will or trust; * Will and trust interpretation disputes; * Testamentary capacity and undue influence; * Divorced and blended families; * Disinherited family members; * Breach of duty claims against estate administrators; * Wrongful death claims; and * Special needs beneficiaries.

Government 15%

In my municipal practice, I help local townships, villages, and cities navigate the maze of laws governing land use, elections, grant administration, and other local government operations. I am a registered lobbyist with the State of Michigan and may represent my clients' interests in Michigan's administrative agencies and Legislature.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
