As a Michigan student, you've worked your butt off to get to this point in your life.  A criminal record should not get in the way of your bright future.  As a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, I understand the dynamics of being a student on campus, and realize that students make mistakes.  Let me make sure that mistake doesn't ruin your bright future.  

My office is located in Northville, Michigan, but as a resident and former law student, I am regularly on campus, and the majority of my cases are in the Ann Arbor courts.  I am available to meet on campus to discuss your case, and work within your class schedule.  

If you're a parent or a loved one reading my website, and your child is a student at Michigan, let's talk on the phone, and I assure you that you will feel better about your child's legal situation, and at ease with the game plan I have ready to put in place for your son or daughter.  I am available in the evening and weekend if necessary (248-924-9458)
