Decades of experience matters, especially when you’re faced with potentially life-changing circumstances.

I understand this both professionally and personally. My first glimpse into the complex world of law was my 5 years spent as a law Clerk int he Oakland County Circuit Court. Before even entering law school, I began to understand how a simple error or someone else’s negligence can alter the course of someone’s life. 

After graduating from Law School, I immediately began practicing under several Attorneys with over 80 combined years of private practice. It was during these formative years where I realized my passion for litigation. Today, if other solutions aren’t practical, I thrive in litigating the best outcomes possible for my Clients, winning jury and non-jury trails alike. I have deep experience in personal injury, family law, criminal law, as well as elder law and real estate matters - serving Clients across the counties of Oakland, Livingston, and Wayne.

I am a Husband, Father, Son, business owner, homeowner, and lifelong member of the Oakland County community. I myself have made mistakes. This level of self-awareness and empathy for all the ways life can sometimes get sideways affords me the highest levels of understanding of my Client’s situations. 

I look forward to serving you when you need it most.

  • Nieghbor's dog bite...

    “I was helping my neighbor with her dog when it bit my hand. The bite caused nerve damage and a loss of strength. I didn’t want to sue my neighbor, but I was mad, because I didn’t do anything wrong. I spoke to Scott and he helped me to understand the the process and my rights. I began to work with him and he ultimately settled my case for $125,000.00.”

    Jeyden Z.

  • Charges dismissed...

    “I was charged with a road rage related crime that I didn’t commit. I did a free consultation with Scott and hired him a week later. My job required me to leave the state for work, but the Judge required me to stay in Michigan. He explained the process to me, helped me navigate my work issues and listened to me. He got the charges dismissed for me and there are no more anxiety filled nights for me.”

    - Jim O.

  • A new begining...

    “I didn’t love my husband any more and I wanted out of my marriage, but I was scared and my husband told me he would take the kids and I wouldn’t get anything. I consulted with Scott to understand my options and the best way to handle this for me and my kids. He kept in contact with me, returned my calls, and protected me and my children during the process. A year later I have my children, my fair share of the marriage property, spousal support and a new beginning.” - Sharon T.

  • Estate matters, simplified...

    “After my grandmother died, I wanted to sell her home and split the proceeds with my sisters. I couldn’t do it, because the home was in her name. I saw Scott and he went to court and got an order allowing me to sell the home and split the proceeds with my sisters. Simple!”

    Jasmine S.

  • Property line dispute...

    “My neighbor had a survey done and his survey stakes were on my side of the fence. My neighbor told me that was my property and he wanted my fence gone. He sued me, and I consulted with Scott, and he defeated my neighbor’s case in court.”
