More Trial Experience Than 99% of DUI Lawyers in Michigan
When you hire me, you are hiring the attorney other attorneys call when they are out of answers. I have more training, more qualifications, and more jury trial experience than 99% of drunk driving defense lawyers in Michigan—and I am personally close to the other 1%. These are not marketing claims. They are facts you can verify.
The Truth About DUI Defense That Most Lawyers Will Not Tell You
The number of Michigan attorneys actually willing to try a drunk driving case is shockingly small. Most who advertise DUI defense never take a case to trial. Ever. There are lawyers in the Detroit Metro area who will withdraw from your case the moment you insist on going to trial—after they have already collected their retainer.
I try cases. That is the foundation of real DUI defense, and it is the foundation of my practice.
I Will Tell You When You Should Hire Someone Else
Being the right defense for your case is not about ego. If your case is far from my office, your goals are modest, or your situation simply calls for a different approach, I will say so—and I will refer you to an attorney better suited for your situation. I send a significant number of cases to other lawyers every year. I do this because my obligation is to you, not to my retainer. You deserve a lawyer whose first priority is the outcome of your case, not the size of his fee.
Candor Instead of Fear
Some attorneys use fear as a sales tactic. When you are worried about jail, your license, your job, and your family’s financial security, the last thing you need is a lawyer amplifying those fears to justify a larger retainer. I will tell you the truth about the charges you face, the judge assigned to your case, and the realistic outcomes—good and bad. Decisions made out of panic are rarely good decisions. You cannot make an informed one unless someone is honest with you. I will be that person.
My Commitments Are in Writing
I do not expect you to take my word alone. Every attorney-client agreement I sign contains a written guarantee that I will provide competent representation at all times, quality legal assistance with thoroughness and preparation, prompt and diligent attention to the case, and aggressive defense of Client’s objectives within the scope of the law.
Those are not talking points. They are contractual obligations—documented, enforceable, and signed before I accept a single dollar of your retainer.
I Will Return Your Calls
The number one complaint Michigan consumers report about their attorneys is not about legal strategy, billing, or courtroom performance. It is this: “MY LAWYER WON’T RETURN MY CALLS.” Thousands of dollars paid, and then silence. That will never happen when you hire me.
What You Deserve From the Lawyer Defending Your Future
You are facing charges that can affect your license, your employment, your reputation, and your freedom. You deserve an attorney who is qualified to fight, willing to fight, honest enough to tell you when fighting is not the right strategy, and accountable—in writing—for showing up when you need him.
That is the standard I hold myself to. Every case. Every client. Every time.
