I am an Afghanistan Combat Veteran, and I was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge and Bronze Star Medal for my wartime service.. After returning from Afghanistan I attended Michigan Statue University College of Law where I was a King Scholar.

Since 2004 I have been privileged to participate in Medical Mission work taking place in Asia, attending almost yearly. These humanitarian opportunities have taken me to the Philippines,( Manila, Cebu City, Tacloban and Davao City and from Davao all over the island of Mindanao, also I have been able to visit Malasia ( Kuala Lumpor), Indonesia (Medan) and Vietnam both Saigon and Hanoi.. Detroit, is host to the headquarters of World Medical Relief and Kiwanis #1. That means I have plenty of opportunity with a ringside seat, to observe the evolving globalization of the economy and growing influence the internet is playing. Needs are being met that only a few years ago were simply thought unachievavble! I will write more later.. Ann Arbor is the home of the University of Michigan Hospital and leading cardioligists there are working to recycle pace makers for use in poorer areas of the world. Partnering with World Medical Relief free reconditioned pace makers are offered others - a small dent is being made in the enormous demand for pace makers the world over - yearly shortfall is three (3) million from figures provided me in informal discussions with World Medical Relief workers. Lives are saved and prolonged.. Kiwanis, legal collegues and clients have all played an enormous part in providng the opportunity, inspiration and guidance to do this sort of volunteerism.. International trafficking of the Elderly is becoming a bigger issue. People will grab you for your pension and social security and hold you in your own home. This fact has been made more relvant as I participate in ongoing educational classes at Florida's Stetson university School of Law in their Elder Law LLM Online Program. I have just finished a class in Aging and the Law and will soon begin a class in Guardianship. As time permits I will attempt to share in this forum, concepts that will help us all age and age well with a caring circle of support.. I will try to supplement personal events, since this seems to be what others want to know, in terms of writing about what is going on in the world of Aging and Asia. More later on Dr. S.E. a mennonite Peace Maker (mediator) and physcician (double board certified) and his wife a social worker providing care in some rough areas of the world there in Asia. If i can learn how to upload more than one photo at a time I will provide photos of srgery being perfomred by Dr S.E. - no blood products available in the jungle so he uses tweezers called HemoStats to prevent bleeding.. I will also share more in the writing here about ways and means to prevent abuse of the elderly and disabled financial and physical. I have to do this by bits and pieces since I have little time when a crisis rears up in the life of clients or their families.. If comments or messages are allowed please feel free to correct grammar and spelling since often I am on little or no sleep when I write and do offer me suggestions since I learn from my clients the most on terms of providing services you may need. I am still a project under construction after 25 years of practice. I learn daily new concepts! :). In 2005, Mike was in the first class of attorneys in Michigan to complete a certificate for advanced training in the Probate and Estate Planning Program sponsored by the Michigan Bar Association and the Institute for Continuing Legal Education.

I practice only in the areas of Medicaid Planning, Asset Protection, Planning for Long-Term Care, Estate Planning for people of any age and Probate. I pride myself of client engagement and communication. If you have ever had a lawyer before who you could never reach, who never returned phone calls or answered emails, you know how important it is that your lawyer respond to you to maximize your outcome and to give you piece of mind. When you call my firm, you call my direct line and I pride myself on returning messages and emails the same day I receive them. Planning for a loved one's Long-Term Care is not only stressful due to healthcare decisions, but also because of the financial costs and the client's lack of knowledge about what help is available. My primary goal for each client is two-fold: bring together the latest legal stretegies in Long-Term Care planning as well as counseling and communication that will guide your family through one of life's most stressful times.
