When I work on an education law case, the stakes are high. A student's continued education is in my hands. There are quick timelines and deadlines, and school districts often fail to timely turn over key evidence.

When I handle education law cases involving a student with special education services, there are complex legal and medical issues involved that have to be reviewed and properly addressed.

Recently, I was successful in an education law case - obtaining a result that led to an immediate return to school and a continuing education for my client.

Case victory for a deserving client and family. Call my office right away for all of your education law needs.

In family law, I need to know what to emphasize and what is noise. I need to separate out the important from the trivial. I need to have client control and to help my client navigate through the court system.

If you have a family court case, then call my office right away. Your family and your rights are too important to try and navigate this alone.

Being a successful drivers license restoration attorney takes dedication to the craft. I have to know the administrative rules better than the hearing officers tasked with overseeing such administrative rules. I have to know the statutory law better than any judge that my client's care may ultimately be in front of in the future. And I have to know the strategic considerations that go into each and every hearing that I conduct.

Recently, I obtained a full and unrestricted license for my client. I came prepared. I prepared my client. I came with the full ammunition of the law and the facts on my side. And at the end of the hearing, my client was restored to a full and unrestricted license.

Case victory for a very deserving client. Call my office right away for all of your drivers license restoration needs.

Preparation leads to success.

When I go to trial on a case, I have to be prepared to win. I must know the law. I must know the court rules. I must know the facts of my case, including conducting a thorough investigation. And I must have a strategic plan for effective cross examination of witnesses.

Recently, I outworked and was more prepared than the prosecution. I developed and implemented an effective strategy for cross examination of the prosecution's witness. And I was successful in earning a dismissal of the case for my client.

Case victory for a very deserving client.

There are many reasons why a person would seek a name change in the State of Michigan.

Michigan has both a common law procedure for a name change and a statutory procedure for a name change. You have to live in the county where you petition for not less than one year. You have to identify whether you have a criminal record. You cannot have a fraudulent purpose for changing your name. And a common law name change has to be in the best interests of the individual.

Recently, I was successful in obtaining a common law name change. I knew the law. I presented the appropriate facts. And the court granted my petition after a hearing. Successful result for a very deserving client.

I represent clients in both common law and statutory name change cases. Call me right away for all of your name change needs.
