280 N. Old Woodward Ave. , Birmingham , Michigan 48390
Practice Areas: DUI & DWI
Originally from Northern Minnesota, I have always committed myself to defending the rights of all Americans. This began with joining United States Marine Corps Infantry and fighting in Afghanistan. Upon my return home, I began to put my experience to good use as I trained for a new battlefield, the courtroom.. After attending my hometown college, Bemidji State University, I came to Michigan to attend law school at Michigan State University College of Law. While at MSU Law, I was fortunate to participate in the Geoffrey Fieger Trial Practice Institute. The two-year program trained me in the specific skills required for successful trial advocacy. During that period, I also gained experience by clerking at several firms. I used those opportunities to study various areas of the legal profession, honing my research and written advocacy skills.. Since my acceptance to the Michigan Bar Association in 2009, I have been defending the accused as a member of the Barone Defense Firm. In my time with the BDF, I have represented hundreds of clients, filed countless motions, conducted extensive trials, and won impressive victories. I have fought diligently to represent the best interests of my clients both in and out of court. It is my goal to provide to my clients the type of representation I would want if placed in their shoes. It is a point of pride to not only be knowledgeable, but available. It does not do my clients any good if I know and understand what is going on and they do not.. With the BDF, I also handle the driver's license restorations for the firm. I have had the opportunity to help hundreds of clients safely return to the road. With my representation, many who had been denied on multiple attempts have finally cleared their last hurdle and those making a first attempt have been spared precious years without driving.. No matter the accusation, I am here to fight for you.

I am committed to results. I am a trial lawyer who will take your case to trial if there are no other options. No matter how intense your situation, how badly you need a certain outcome or how dire the facts of your case. I spent thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars in learning forensic evidence, the law regarding drugs and alcohol and the phisiological affect of drugs in the human body. . I am a leader. I wrote the book on OWI for West Publishing. I am an adjunct professor of DUI Law and Practice at Thomas M. Cooley Law School and Forensic Evidence in Criminal Law. I spoke over dozens of times to teach other lawyers. The reason: others look to me for leadership and learning. I developed an in depth knowledge of forensic science.

I practice exclusively in criminal defense with an emphasis on defending citizens charged with driving while intoxicated. My practice style is to utilize litigation to position a client to achieve results.. I am in court very often and in stressful situations. Those situations are situations in which I thrive. To relax I run, read and write often. I spent 10 years as a journalist working in television and radio. I worked for a statewide radio news network, a CBS-owned radio station in Detroit and for a television station in Lansing.. I believe in the right to have a trial. I believe that you as a citizen, have the right to have a lawyer stand by you through every phase of a criminal case.. Our constitution is a sacred document formed thanks to the blood and sacrifice of our founders and preserved by the modern day footsoldiers of trial lawyers. I am proud to be part of the loyal fraternity of constitutional warriors who protect the rights of those citizens accused of crimes, no matter how heinous those alleged crimes may be to the accusors or the public.
