As a CPA and an attorney I have unique experience in handling legal issues involving estate planning, business, and real estate. My expereince with tax law enables me to work in areas that most find too complex. I handle civil and probate matters primarily in Wayne, Oakland, and Washtenaw Counties but I do have cases in other Courts. I draft contracts, handle business buy/sells, enjoy estate planning and trust work as well as probate litigation issues involving will contests and trust questions. I handle civil cases involving real estate and business issues. I am a commercial arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association handling cases in the commercial/construction areas. I am a licensed residential builder. Examples of legal matters I handle include: failed short sale cases against realtors, Will Contest against a caregiver who coerced the decedent to give him all her money, removal of a trustee who invaded trust assets for her drug addicted daughter, enforcement of a minor child's claim against his father's estate who had disowned him due to a nasty divorce with the child's mother, an estate's wrongful death claim for murder under the Michigan Slayer Rule. I enjoy the practice of law and working with my wife, my daughter and my son who are lawyers in the firm that my wife and I started over 25 years ago. We emphasize regular contact with our clients who we value. We strive to secure clients for life --not for just a single legal matter.
