I'm a strategic and highly skilled attorney with a career built around legal analysis, leadership innovation and turning around underperforming legal projects. I have learned to masterfully navigate the legal aspect of any system. I specialize in legal assessment and roadmap creation using my well honed critical thinking skills and an innate understanding of how systems can be improved. A proud INTJ, I lead with foresight and honesty. I carry the torch of honor and excellence as a third generation Detroit lawyer. Whether I am giving legal advice on contracts or to the homeless, I am your loyal, formidable ally. With an early career spent as a negotiator and litigator in Detroit, I also come with a "trial by fire" foundation that has been vital to my ability to get to the bottom of formidable issues -- as a lawyer, entrepreneur, trainer and leader. Key strengths include: legal analysis, contract administration, compliance, project improvement, litigation prevention and strategy, policy and procedure development, program revitalization and training & developing teams and leaders.
