Hiring Kevin Will Reduce Your Stress

You are dealing with something serious and you do not have to figure it out alone. Kevin will explain your charge, your options, and what to expect. Most clients feel relief after the first conversation.

Former Prosecutor, Now on Your Side

Kevin spent years inside the Wayne County prosecutor’s office charging and trying cases. He knows how the other side thinks, where they are flexible, and where they are not.

Virtually Every Charge Type

From drug charges and DUIs to weapons offenses, assaults, and retail fraud, Kevin has handled and tried nearly every type of criminal case in Wayne County courts.

This Is Stressful. That Is the Part We Address First.

A criminal charge affects everything. Your sleep, your focus, your family, your job. You are probably replaying what happened, worrying about what comes next, and wondering how bad this can get.

That weight is real. But most of it comes from not knowing, not from the charge itself. Once someone sits down with you, explains exactly what you are facing, and lays out what can actually be done about it, the situation starts to feel manageable.

That is what the first conversation with Kevin is for.

Kevin Works Directly With You From Day One

Kevin runs a boutique, client-focused practice built around communication, responsiveness, and direct attorney access. He works directly with every client, takes calls personally, and makes sure you always know what is happening with your case and why.

He will explain the charge in plain language, walk you through the court process, and tell you honestly what your realistic options are. No vague reassurances, no legal jargon, no waiting days for a callback.

Most people say the hardest part was before they called. Once they talked to Kevin and understood their situation, the stress started to lift.

A Former Prosecutor Who Has Tried Hundreds of Criminal Cases

As a Wayne County prosecutor, Kevin charged and tried hundreds of cases across virtually every charge type: drug offenses, DUIs, weapons charges, assaults, domestic violence, retail fraud, property crimes, and more. He knows how prosecutors evaluate evidence, where they are willing to negotiate, and what makes them take a case to trial.

Now on the defense side, Kevin uses that knowledge to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, challenge the evidence, and pursue the best available outcome. Whether that means a dismissal, a charge reduction, a diversion program, or preparing for trial, the strategy is built around your specific facts and your goals.
