I have made the difficult decision to close my practice. Over the next few weeks I will be wrapping up any open cases and sending communication to all clients. I will not be taking any new matters on from this point forward.

Phone issues appear to be resolved. You can now leave a voice message or text me directly at 231-233-0560.

My office is upgrading the phone system. Please be patient while this is completed. I have been informed that it will take anywhere from 4 to 10 days before the transition is finalized. During this time, I am able to make outgoing calls but may not be able to receive calls inbound. If you were trying to reach me and having difficulty during this period, please email [email protected].

MyCase is experiencing an outage related to the Amazon server issue. If you have left me a message on MyCase, I will respond as soon as the site is back up and running. If you wish, feel free to email me directly.

Today is travel day. It’s been an exhausting week and I’m looking forward to being back home!

🤞 Fingers crossed 🤞. I think I fixed the phone issue - we'll see tomorrow when office hours resume.

**UPDATE** I have not found a total solution to my voicemail issue, however I have at least figured out how to receive calls WHILE I'M AT MY DESK. If I'm away from my desk, please follow up with an email as I'm not yet sure when I'll be able to get to my voicemails.

To those who have left voicemails: please know that I am working on getting back to you. I am locked out of my phone system and have nearly 100 messages that I'm trying to retrieve! If you have not emailed, please reach out to me that way for the foreseeable future - you can reach me at [email protected] or message me through MyCase if you have portal access.

Now offering fully virtual representation for clients who are comfortable using technology. For those who prefer a more traditional format, we are happy to schedule meetings at clients' homes or a convenient meeting spot of their choosing. We find this to be a much more comfortable experience for our clients, removing travel barriers and the intimidating feeling that many have when meeting in a formal office space.

Call now to connect with business.

I am officially closing my Downtown office today. Movers are taking the furniture to my home office. I will be setting that up this afternoon, and working on any outstanding projects into the evening so that everybody who is waiting for stuff from me should have it before the holiday.

My assistant is more of a distraction than a help. He also, clearly, would rather I focus on him.
