Since 1986, I have represented individuals throughout Western Michigan in matters involving Social Security, Worker's Compensation, Personal Injury and Unemployment Benefits Law. This year, I will have been in practice for 39 years.  I have a proven track record of providing positive results for clients. If you are disabled or have been injured on the job or due to the negligence of others, I will listen to you and will do my best to obtain a favorable outcome. I approach each client compassionately and work to understand the details of your individual situation to identify the best course of action for you.. At this point in my career, I have conducted over 2,000 Social Security hearings and have represented hundreds of worker's compensation clients.  Unlike so many other Social Security attorneys, I am willing to appeal to federal court if appropriate; I have written over 500 such appeals.  I am the only attorney in Michigan to have served three years as the Chair of the State Bar's Social Security Law Section, and I have worked to make the Social Security Bar more professional for years.  No attorney worth a darn never loses a Social Security case, because those attorneys never take chances, but I usually will be willing to take a chance on you.  Winning these cases is not about fighting; it is about presenting the evidence in your case in the best way possible by knowing how to do so.  It's fair to say that I know how to do that.  And while trials are less frequent in Worker's Compensation, I've conducted hundreds of depositions and participated in many trials and appeals.  Unlike so many attorneys, I can handle your entire case.  And you will be hard pressed to find another attorney who has appeared before the Michigan Court of Appeals in hundreds of cases, before the Michigan Supreme Court in several cases, in the federal courts of Michigan in hundreds of cases, and before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in several cases.. And in breaking news, I have just been chosen (by a vote of other lawyers) as one of the best lawyers in Grand Rapids in both Worker's Compensation and Social Security.  I also was board certified in the area of Social Security by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA); currently, I am the only such attorney in the State of Michigan.. You are welcome to call me today to schedule a consultation to find out if I can help you.

I love practicing law and even after more than 25 years, I have no desire to do anything else.   Being able to practice on the Lakeshore in West Michigan is just an added bonus.   What a great place to live and work.   The people, landscape and way of life just makes every day a gift.. I attended Central Michigan University, transferring to Wayne State University and graduating with a degree in Public Administration.   I went to law school at Cooley Law School in Lansing when it was relatively new and the classes small.   I still keep in touch with a number of my law school classmates, some of whom are right here in West Michigan.. I have extensive experience in civil litigation, ranging from dog bites, car accident and slip and fall cases to medical and legal malpractice and business litigation.   I have represented both Plaintiffs and Defendants and inividuals as well as large companies.  I represent Defendants and insurance carriers in litigation.  When someone hires me, they are going to get that huge array of experience that I have to offer.

I have been practicing law since 1984. During that time, I have come to the conclusion that the practice of law is as much about managing relationships as it is the pure application of the law. As a result, I have endeavored to provide legal representation to my clients from a Christian perspective, which promotes an atmosphere of trust, and results in lasting relationships with those clients.

I care fiercely about my clients.  I have seen what insurance companies and businesses do to those that have been injured at the hands of negligent, careless, and irresponsible individuals and companies.  I will fight to the end for you to obtain the best result possible for your case.

I am a trial lawyer that specializes in personal injury and criminal defense, although I have handled nearly all areas of litigation in my career.  I focus my practice in these areas of law becuase of my passion to help those in need.  Whether the individual has been wrongfully injured or is facing criminal charges; I am willing to fight for the rights of the abused, neglected and underserved.  I have achieved favorable outcomes for my clients  against some of the largest corporations in the United States and am not afraid to go toe to toe with big business or any prosecutor.  I will take the time to listen to you about your case and will vigorously advocate on your behalf.  My practice is based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, but I have appeared as counsel of record throughout the state of Michigan and in various other states as needed by my clients.  If you need someone in your corner that is willing to actually listen and advocate for YOU, feel free to give me a call.
