I am a smart attorney.  I do the reading and the research for every case.  I look for resolution before confrontation.  My client and I map out the case strategy together.. Clients often look for aggressive defense attorneys - and this is an important quality.  (I put it in my website URL!)  But aggression without an intelligent plan just leads to trouble..

Having at one time, myself, been homeless and befriended by the other homeless on the streets of Ann Arbor, I am equiped with a personal altruistic motivation to empathize with and assist in the defense of those who commit crimes out of frustration or desperation.. Taken under the wing of friends, clergy, and lawyers, while I was unemployed and homeless, I was hired to work as a law clerk for the Honorable Barry L. Howard who assisted my entry into law school. Educated under the strict guidance of the Jesuits at the University of Detroit School of Law, and guided by the tutelage of Constitutional Law Professor Patrick Keenan while there, as well as trained by Superior Court Judge Bernard Kamins in criminal trial practice while I was a student at Pepperdine University Law School in Malibu, California, I was ultimately able to obtain one of the highest scores ever recorded on the essay portion of the Michigan bar examination.. I enjoy the work that I do, because of both the intellectual as well as the emotional challenges involved. In my spare time, I study the talmud, run marathons, and enjoy painting as a fine art.

Practice Areas: Appeals

I knew I wanted to be a criminal lawyer since I was an undergrad.  I've worked in criminal law firms since the 1980s and clerked under some of Michigan's best lawyers. For my entire career, I've done 90%+ criminal appeals.  My philosophy is deep research.  I subscribe to one of the broadest Westlaw plans available and do not confine my research to my own state. I am active on many national  listservs dealing with Criminal Appellate issues so that I can stay on top of trends in other states and I routlinely blog about cases on review to the Michigan Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court.  This is tremendously important because of criminal retroactivity rules.  If I have an issue in the system when the United States Supreme Court or Michigan Supreme Court hands down new law, my clients generally get the benefit of the new rule.  If I don't, then the "ship has often sailed" when the ruling is announced.  Being on the cutting edge has given many of my clients the benefit of favorable decisions that otherwise would not have applied to them.. While Michigan does not require continuing legal credits, I take far more than is required by the states that do require it.  Law is constantly changing and staying on top of these changes is paramount to my philosophy.
