Experience, Results, and Local Knowledge
When you're facing criminal charges, child custody disputes, CPS investigations, or debt collection lawsuits in Michigan, you need more than just any attorney - you need someone who understands your local courts, knows the prosecutors and judges, and has a proven track record of protecting clients throughout mid-Michigan. Here's why choosing my practice gives you the strategic advantage you need.
Over 10 Years of Michigan Courtroom Experience
I don't just practice law - I live it in the courtrooms where your case will be decided. With over a decade of experience appearing regularly in courts throughout Ingham, Jackson, Eaton, Clinton, and Genesee counties, I know:
- Which judges are most receptive to specific arguments and defenses
- How local prosecutors handle plea negotiations and what they're willing to accept
- What evidence local police departments typically gather, and how to challenge it
- Which court procedures can make or break your case in each specific courthouse?
This local knowledge isn't something you can learn from books - it comes from hundreds of court appearances and relationships built over years of practice.
Specialized Focus Means Better Results
I deliberately limit my practice to criminal defense, family law, consumer protection, license restoration, and small claims defense because you deserve an attorney who truly excels in these areas. While some attorneys handle everything from real estate to personal injury, I prefer to be exceptional at assisting people with the specific legal challenges I specialize in.
This specialization means:
- More profound expertise in the laws and procedures that affect your case
- Current knowledge of recent changes in Michigan criminal and family law
- Proven strategies that work specifically for these types of cases
- Better outcomes because I handle these cases every day
The Case Evaluation Advantage
Unlike many attorneys who only offer brief consultations, I provide comprehensive case evaluations in three tiers: Standard, Expedited, and Emergency. This means you get:
- Thorough analysis of your specific legal situation
- Written assessment of your options and potential outcomes
- Strategic recommendations tailored to your goals
- Time to make informed decisions without pressure
Whether you need an immediate emergency assessment or prefer time to consider your options, my case evaluation system ensures you get the depth of analysis your situation deserves.
Local Court Knowledge That Protects Your Future
Ingham County Courts: Regular appearances in Circuit Court for family matters and District Court for criminal cases have given me a thorough understanding of local procedures and judicial preferences.
Jackson County Courts: Experience with Jackson's specific court culture, prosecutor relationships, and what strategies work best in this jurisdiction.
Genesee County Courts: Knowledge of Flint-area court procedures and how to navigate the unique challenges in this court system.
Multi-County Practice: Understanding how different counties handle similar cases allows me to adjust strategy based on where your case is filed.
Flexible Payment Options That Work for Real Families
Legal representation shouldn't be available only to the wealthy. That's why I offer:
- Payment plans customized to your financial situation
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprises
- Case evaluations that help you understand costs upfront
- Flat fee arrangements for most case types to provide cost certainty
Use my payment calculator to estimate costs, and we'll work together to find a payment plan that makes quality legal representation accessible for your family.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Criminal Defense: I've achieved dismissals, acquittals, and charge reductions that have saved clients from jail time, protected their employment, and preserved their futures.
Family Law: I've helped keep families together during CPS investigations and secured favorable custody arrangements that prioritize the best interests of children.

Why My Approach Is Different
Empowerment Over Pressure: I believe in providing you with all the necessary information to make the best decision for your situation. I won't pressure you into quick settlements or tell you what you "should" do - that's your choice to make.
Honest Communication: I'll provide you with the truth about your case, including potential challenges and realistic outcomes, with no false promises or unrealistic expectations.
Personal Attention: You're not just another case number. I work with you one-on-one to understand your unique situation and develop a tailored strategy that aligns with your goals and circumstances.
