About Alan
Biography
I am a criminal-defense attorney focusing on serious criminal matters, including non-capital felony and juvenile cases. I regularly appear in courts throughout Mid-Michigan and handle cases in other jurisdictions when the complexity and stakes warrant it.
My practice is built on preparation, direct communication, and sound judgment. Clients receive clear, realistic guidance about risk and strategy—not false assurances. I take a deliberate, case-focused approach and apply disciplined advocacy at every stage of the criminal process.
