He was tireless in his service to his clients and the community,” said Julius Giarmarco. “All of us at GMH consider it a privilege to have worked with him. He was a man of principle, integrity, and optimism.”

He was recognized by Martindale Hubbell AV rating as well as a Best Lawyer in America, US News & World Report Top Lawyer, Michigan Super Lawyer, and DBusiness Top Lawyer.
