Born and raised in Lansing, MI and have practiced law in a family owned practice since 1984 when admitted to the State Bar and the Federal District Court in the Western District of Michigan. I attended a small Liberal Arts College, Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana and received my JD degree from Howard School of Law in Washington, D.C. In between my undergraduate and graduate degrees I worked on the assembly line for GM/Oldsmobile in Lansing, MI. My areas of practice include All Areas of Family Law, drafting of Wills and some Trusts, Misdemeanor Criminal cases, Landlord/Tenant cases, Personal Injury and more.
