About Joseph
Biography
Since graduating from the University of Michigan Law School 20 years ago, I have had the privilege of representing some of the finest businesses, municipalities, and individuals in Michigan. From every case I have handled, I have learned more and more about resolving disputes for my clients either in the courtroom or at the negotiation table. I thrive on solving difficult issues whether through solid advice, trial advocacy, mediation, or negotiation.
