I was born and raised in Southeast Michigan. I received my Bachelor's degree from Michigan State University. I then attended the University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) School of Law. While in law school, I was a Law Dean's Scholarship Recipient and was on the Dean's List. After excelling in my first year of law school, I applied for and was accepted into the Master of Business Administration program at UDM. After only 3 and a 1/2 years, I graduated with both my Juris Doctor (J.D) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.
While in law school, I was a legal intern for Quicken Loans Inc., a Judicial Intern at the Wayne County Third Circuit Court, a law clerk for the Wayne County Corporation Counsel, and a law clerk representing indigent clients at the Immigration Law Clinic at UDM School of Law.
I then went on to work for a nation-wide bankruptcy and consumer protection law firm. My worked focused on protecting consumers in California and throughout the entire United States against financial institutions, credit reporting agencies, debt collectors and credit furnishers.
I have extensive experience in representing clients under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and California's Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I am well-trained in representing clients and pursuing their claims to achieve the best possible result. I have learned to navigate my way through the court system to provide effective and competent representation to my clients.
In my freetime, you will find me spending time with my wife and family.
