i always tell the clients that
00:06
the next three to nine months in their
00:09
divorce case or custody case
00:10
is the most important in their lives not
00:13
only for their sake but for their
00:14
children’s
00:15
because the decisions that are made
00:17
during this time are going to determine
00:19
the outcome
00:20
at least for the short term of their
00:22
children’s future
00:23
and their future whether it’s financial
00:25
or otherwise
00:27
so it’s very important to note that from
00:29
our perspective from our client
00:31
service perspective that we always are
00:34
amicable and we treat
00:36
opposing parties and attorneys with
00:38
dignity and respect
00:40
so that it doesn’t impact our clients
00:42
and that we reinforce the notion that
00:43
our clients
00:44
need to make sure that they don’t do
00:46
anything to make their case more
00:48
difficult
00:53
i graduated from the university of
00:55
michigan with an undergraduate degree in
00:57
english
00:58
my focus primarily at that time was on
00:59
journalism and i loved to
01:01
read and write and then i got a master’s
01:03
degree from u of m in public
01:05
administration
01:06
because i wanted to focus on non-profit
01:08
public administration at that time
01:10
i eventually ended up in law school at
01:12
the university of detroit mercy school
01:14
of law
01:15
where i fueled my passion for real
01:17
estate and business development
01:19
as i was always an entrepreneur as my
01:22
father was an entrepreneur
01:23
and i wanted to follow in his footsteps
01:25
and do the same thing
01:26
and i did that by creating my firm
01:29
within a year after graduating from law
01:31
school and passing the bar
01:33
i started off as a real estate and
01:35
estate planning
01:36
lawyer and as my business grew and i
01:39
expanded my office locations
01:41
i focused primarily on divorce and
01:43
family law
01:44
because i felt it was a passion of mine
01:47
to help families
01:48
and mothers and fathers in need and
01:50
those that really needed sound legal
01:52
advice
01:53
and i learned that i developed a real
01:55
talent for
01:56
the practice of law and i became an
01:59
extremely effective
02:00
litigator and i believe without being
02:03
crashed that i’m one of the best
02:05
trial lawyers in the state of michigan
02:07
when it comes to the divorce and family
02:09
law process
