Find Your Way Here

I'm an attorney and counselor, and I built this site to help you understand where you stand before you ever pick up the phone. Here's where to start:

FAQ: Straight answers to the questions people ask me most about court, charges, and what happens next.

Legal Guides: Plain-language overviews of common Michigan criminal charges, plus family law, estate planning and estate administration, expungement, and driver's license restoration. If you don't see your charge listed, some charges are more sensitive in nature and are best discussed in a private, confidential consultation.

Free Consultation: Tell me about your situation and we'll talk it through at no cost. After we meet, I'll prepare a step-by-step case outline built around your situation: what to expect, the key dates, and your next steps, so you never have to guess where things stand.
