I have been an attorney for 35 years, starting out my career as an Assistant District (Prosecuting) Attorney in Brooklyn, New York, where I handled child abuse and sex crimes cases. I've been licensed and practicing in Michigan for 25 years, with a focus on child welfare and family law matters. I handle cases in administrative agency proceedings, in the Family and Circuit Courts, and on appeal to Michigan's Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. I have successfully represented parents, children, foster parents, grandparents and other relatives of children, in Child Protective (abuse/neglect) proceedings, and in adoption, guardianship, custody, divorce, and related matters, as well as having been very successful in helping individuals obtain expunction from Michigan's Central Registry for Child Abuse and Neglect.
