As a drummer, I love to support artists bringing so much love, creativity, and connection into our world. It was a pleasure playing a small role in supporting all of the hard work Taylor from Fundamental Sound Co. does to put on FUN Fest; one of the best summer events in Ypsilanti! I can't wait for next year!

Big win in the Court of Appeals Today!

The Court of Appeals overturned the Circuit Court and dismissed a case against our client on three separate grounds: (1) lack of probable cause, (2) lack of venue, and (3) lack of jurisdiction. We represented the client on appeal at the circuit court where we lost. However, we successfully convinced the Court of Appeals to use their discretion to take the case even though they did not need to hear our appeal. On appeal, the COA upheld Redford Judge Karen Khalil's ruling dismissing the animal abuse case in large part due to our client never stepping foot in Redford and only being "present" in Redford for a zoom video call to screen a foster home for the puppies she was rescuing.

The opinion can be found here:

Arguing in the Michigan Court of Appeals

This year I was blessed with the opportunity to participate in the Canton Chamber of Commerce's "Leadership Canton" program. I learned a ton about how municipal government works and met so many great people working hard and giving back to the Canton Community. One of my favorite parts was learning from Canton Michigan Fire Department how to use the jaws of life on a donated wrecked car. It was nice to learn about a community that gave so much to me growing up. I was continually impressed by the professionalism of everyone working for the Township of Canton.
