Law Firm Overview

I am a caring and compassionate counselor for my clients and a fierce advocate for Legal Justice to my opponents in court. I work hard to ensure that my clients are well served and receive the best outcome possible for whatever their legal need may be. I am well respected in the Legal community and the Ann Arbor community at large. I have lived, worked, been educated and raised a family in this community for more than 25 years.

My legal experience and expertise is wide and varied. I have managed to master the skills necessary to effectively assist clients in Criminal, Juvenile, Probate, Guardianship, Education, Family, Elder Law and Personal Injury matters. My Masters in Social Work combined with my Law experience has given me the tools necessary to assess a situation, apply the law and get the results that are always in the best interest of my clients. My goal is to always work with my clients to ensure that their legal needs are addressed in a manner that is professional and effective.

I earned two Associate Degrees at Washtenaw Community College, in Criminal Justice and Liberal Arts. I went on to further my education by earning two degrees at the University of Michigan, AB in Communications and Master of Social Work, and finally earned a Juris Doctorate at the University of Toledo, all while working full time and raising a family. I have been fortunate enough to have worked for several years at the Washtenaw County Public Defender's Office as well as several local academic institutions. These work experiences have given me unprecedented experience to be able to handle any manner of Criminal Case, as well as a variety of other legal matters, effectively.

If you trust me with your legal matter you will leave with a feeling that your voice was heard and your legal issues were thoroughly addressed.
