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.

While demanding, Dorsey & Whitney prepared me for legal practice at the highest levels..
