So how do I get you the best outcome for your case?  

As a former New York City and Michigan prosecutor I know both sides of this system, and I know what gets results.  My method of criminal defense is unique, because my clients take a pro-active approach rather than sitting back and simply hoping for things to go well.  This approach has worked in courts all around Michigan and for various criminal charges.   I don't publish the secrets to my approach on my website, because other attorneys would steal it for their clients, and my clients would no longer have a distinct advantage. 

My approach has sometimes resulted in better bond conditions, less or no alcohol/drug testing, dismissal of charges, avoiding jail, shorter probation terms, lower fines and costs and a number of other benefits.  My clients get great satisfaction knowing that they can have a positive influence on their case both inside and outside the courtroom.
