I have joined Secrest Wardle Law Firm as an Executive Partner in their Grand Rapids office. I still maintain a connection with my clients in the Northern Michigan area. Secrest Wardle is a long -standing, prestigious law firm in the state of Michigan. The resources now at my disposal will allow me to provide exceptional service in the many varied areas where I practice. You may also reach me on a
local exchange (231-715-7200), [email protected]. I am bringing to this firm the same dedication to quality service, professionalism and fair price that I did at Cooke Law. I am based in Grand Rapids, MI during the work week but return to Traverse City, Mi most weekends where I have called home for 20 years. My clients send me to all parts of Michigan from Detroit to Houghton to represent them, their family and / or their insureds, or employees in a variety of litigated matters ranging from contract, tort, and employment matters to criminal defense, family law, personal injury, fraud, and municipal defense. I am licensed to practice law in all Michigan and Federal Courts, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. Although, I am an experienced litigator, I also have a strong small business and employment experience. I have considerable jury trial experience in Federal and State courts and welcome the opportunity to argue my clients’ positions in this arena. I practice law with the intention of serving my clients on a personal level. Having worked with small businesses and insurors for many years, I understand the value of a dollar and economies and efficiencies that can be built into the practice of law to provide the client with a high quality product at the lowest possible expense. I hope you take a moment to visit this website and consider whether or not I can serve an effective role as your sword and shield!
