I am a criminal defense lawyer who brings the insight and discipline of a former prosecutor to every case. After serving as a prosecutor in Oakland and Genesee County, I shifted to defense work to ensure fair treatment and vigorous advocacy for individuals facing criminal charges. I combine courtroom experience, deep knowledge of local courts and prosecutors, and a practical approach to build strong defenses, negotiate favorable outcomes, and protect clients’ rights at every stage. Known for clear communication, careful preparation, and a steady presence under pressure, I focus on personalized strategies that reflect each client’s goals and circumstances. Whether resolving matters through negotiation or taking cases to trial, I fight to achieve the best possible result while treating clients with respect and honesty.
