Having at one time, myself, been homeless and befriended by the other homeless on the streets of Ann Arbor, I am equiped with a personal altruistic motivation to empathize with and assist in the defense of those who commit crimes out of frustration or desperation.

Taken under the wing of friends, clergy, and lawyers, while I was unemployed and homeless, I was hired to work as a law clerk for the Honorable Barry L. Howard who assisted my entry into law school. Educated under the strict guidance of the Jesuits at the University of Detroit School of Law, and guided by the tutelage of Constitutional Law Professor Patrick Keenan while there, as well as trained by Superior Court Judge Bernard Kamins in criminal trial practice while I was a student at Pepperdine University Law School in Malibu, California, I was ultimately able to obtain one of the highest scores ever recorded on the essay portion of the Michigan bar examination.

I enjoy the work that I do, because of both the intellectual as well as the emotional challenges involved. In my spare time, I study the talmud, run marathons, and enjoy painting as a fine art.
