I have been a lifelong resident of West Michigan. I graduated from Hudsonville High School in 1993. I went on to Grand Valley State University where I earned two Bachelor degrees: Political Science and Legal Studies. While attending GVSU, I served on the Student Senate, wrote for the school newspaper “The Lanthorn” and made the Dean’s list on a regular basis. Seeing so many injustices within our political and judicial systems, I felt driven to attend law school. While being trained on how to become a tough criminal defense lawyer, I received an Honor’s scholarship and Certification in Litigation. I made the Dean’s list numerous times, was actively involved in many student activities and received my Juris Doctorate.

I have honed my legal skills at a local prosecutor’s office, high-profile West Michigan law firms and from handling hundreds of criminal cases. I believe in treating my clients with respect and dignity. I will fight for my client’s rights all the time! I am dedicated to providing my clients with aggressive and exceptional representation in all criminal matters. My legal skills have been proven in court, where I have an excellent track record in criminal jury trials.

I am a contrarian by nature and enjoy taking on the Government. I have a healthy skepticism of law enforcement and the police department. This will be evident should I cross examine the cop that arrested you or that raided your house.

I live with my wife in Jenison, Michigan. We love to follow the Detroit Tigers and Lions. We also enjoy fishing and Michigan’s great lakes.

I am a sincere attorney who really cares and spends time on his client's issues. I can handle all criminal matters and I can save you a lot of money when you are facing owi/dui or any other criminal charges. My rates won't make you serve a life sentence of debt!
