Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I have been involved in the representation of a co-defendant in a class action securities fraud case. He was the Controller of a division of a multi-national corporation. The accusation was that he aided and abetted the commission of fraud by artificially inflating revenues and improperly deferring expenses. After the court denied the plaintiff's request for certification of the class the plaintiffs offered to dismiss the case.
How did you build a successful practice?
Our practice has become successful through zealous and competent advocacy on behalf of all clients no matter how big nor small the cause.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should look for a lawyer who is honest, experienced and has a reputation for integrity.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Local knowledge is extremely important to the success of a case. Every jurisdiction has its own particular practices which are important to be familiar with in order to reach a favorable outcome.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
A free consultation can often determine whether or not a case can be easily resolved or will require extensive litigation.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
The information that is needed in a free consultation is a basic understanding of the actual dispute involved.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
We are one of a handful of boutique style law firms in Western Michigan that are capable of providing a competent and thorough defense in both federal and state court matters.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
The most rewarding aspect of our job is accepting representation in a case that appears to be incapable of successful resolution and providing guidance so that a good result is obtained.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
I enjoy the outdoors, fishing, skiing, golfing, tennis, handball, paddleball and playing classical guitar.
Are you involved in your community?
All of our lawyers are extensively involved in civic organizations that help Kalamazoo thrive as a community.
