- Profile
- I am a dedicated Attorney serving the great state of Michigan from Saginaw to Traverse City, and all surrounding areas. I have a strong belief in our rights of life, liberty and freedom, as citizens of this great country, and I will do everything within my power to prevent my client's rights from being abridged. I specialize in the areas of Criminal Defense, Family Law, Civil Litigation, Personal Injury, No Fault (1st & 3rd party), Civil Rights, and more, but I devote myself to helping anyone in need, no matter the legal significance. I pride myself on providing personalized services and obtaining positive results. I've always had a difficult time accepting defeat, which is why I dedicate so much of my time to understanding and analyzing the law. My top priority is making sure that you get the best representation possible, and that we obtain the best possible results. I make it a point not to leave anything on the table. If that is the type of legal assistance that you need, then please do not hesitate to contact my office at (989) 275-4365.
