Biography
For over 37 years I have been an active litigation attorney. On average I get to court once a day every day the Wayne County Circuit Court or local District Courts in Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw Counties.
I am the founder and original president of The Wayne County Family Law Bar Association, and was appointed as a special master to hear personal protection order cases in Wayne County.
