Description
Advocacy is my life. I recently completed a term as Judge on the 3rd busiest trial court in the nation. I love public speaking and travel, and I am a published author (e.g., Ch. 3 in Michigan Family Law) and a highly successful litigator and high profile community leader. Litigation, Legislation, lobbying, government and community relations are all strengths. I have post graduate training in dispute resolution and experience with commercial, criminal, family, real estate, employment, labor unions and many other areas of litigation. I enjoy learning new skills, I am highly competitive and seek a challenging and rewarding new position. Travel and relocation are acceptable.
