I am an attorney and a candidate for Probate Judge in Presque Isle County.
Although my practice takes me to counties and federal courts throughout the State of Michigan, I have chosen Presque Isle County as my home.
My roots in this county go back over 100 years. My paternal grandfather was raised in Presque Isle County, my maternal grandparents owned a cottage on Grand Lake for almost 70 years, and I grew up spending my summers at the lake enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
I am a litigator and trial lawyer.
I have represented criminal defendants and police officers, townships and citizens, children, parents, individuals with mental health issues, employers, and employees.
I would be honored to serve this county as your next Probate Judge.
