Rick began practicing law in October 1977, following his graduation from the Detroit College of Law. In 1982, he began his own firm and spent most of his career concentrating his practice in the areas of criminal defense and personal injury.  Rick is well respected by Judges and also by attorneys who he has worked both with, and against, over the years.  He has fought hard to protect the rights of individuals to live their lives without fear of interference by government and other powerful institutions.

Since merging with the firm in 2010, he was named a Partner and has continued to protect individuals and businesses from the overreaching and often unfair tactics of insurance companies with whom they have insured their property.  He developed an interest in this area of the law while working in association with the firm, representing its property loss clients who were investigated or charged with criminal activities relating to their property losses.
