About Attorney Summary Office Information
I have been primarily practicing as a defense lawyer in the Detroit Metropolitan area for over 32 years. I have lectured at ICLE seminars on damage control from a defendant’s perspective and have participated as a guest speaker for the State Bar of Michigan and ADR membership meetings. I have been appointed as special mediator on numerous occasions and was appointed as the neutral arbitrator on the largest settled personal injury/death case in Wayne County history.
