I became a criminal defense attorney for two reasons; because of my profound respect for the rights protected in our Constitution, and because of my passion for defending those rights in every situation. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law, and since that day, I have done nothing except criminal defense law. I practiced in the state of Illinois with distinction for three years. In Rockford, Illinois, I gained the respect of colleagues, judges, and prosecutors for my ability to negotiate favorable outcomes, litigate tough issues, and win at trial. I also gained the respect of my clients by patiently guiding them through the criminal justice system, keeping them informed and respecting their needs as if they were my own.. I was born and raised in Metro Detroit, and it is my home. I've returned to this area to serve our community and fight for your rights. If you've been charged with a crime--drunk driving, domestic battery, theft, drugs, weapons, or any other criminal offense--you need an attorney who loves what he does and cares for his clients.
