Top best Criminal Lawyers in Allegan | 13 available

I specialize in complex felony defense, particularly criminal sexual conduct cases. I have successfully tried numerous cases before judges and juries in both Michigan and Kentucky as a prosecutor and defense attorney. I am responsive and compassionate.I am a Kentucky native, but now reside in Saugatuck, Allegan County. I am married with two children, a dog Oscar, and two very friendly barn cats. In my free time (ha!) I love to poke around antique shops and plan trips to see our family.

I am now the elected Prosecutor for Allegan County.  My private practice is closed, so I will not be taking on any new clients.  I am grateful for all of the years I've had in private practice and really appreciate the clients I've had and the acquaintances I've made.  I am proud to be the head of the Allegan County Office of the Prosecuting Attorney and look forward to many years of doing all I can to make sure that Allegan County is a safe and prosperous community.. I graduated from the University of Michigan Law School and went on to hold clerkships for the Honorable George R. Corsiglia in the Allegan Circuit Court and for the Michigan Court of Appeals. Since entering private practice in 1993, I have participated in numerous high visibility cases throughout Southwest Michigan.. I have also worked for one of the largest law firms in America, Dorsey & Whitney. Dorsey & Whitney employed over 330 attorneys and had offices in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York, Brussels (Belgium), London (England), and Paris (France). While demanding, Dorsey & Whitney prepared me for legal practice at the highest levels.. My practice included criminal defense, drunk driving, personal injury, wrongful death, divorce, family law, general civil litigation, wills and trusts, corporate law, and medical malpractice. I am committed to excellence. My broad-based litigation experience and expertise insures that my clients were very well represented in the courtroom.

I am a dedicated and compassionate attorney. As a life long resident of West Michigan, I have decided to serve the people of this area. My experience as solo practitioner, assistant prosecuting attorney, and assistant public defender is a valuable asset for my clients.
