I am a founding parter at Shorb & Connor and make it a point to get to know every client that walks through our firms doors. We are a small firm and offer small firm personal service but have the technology and team attorney approach of the larger firms. Our goal is to help our clients, and what better way than to provide them with our entire firm's knowledge, not just their single attorney. I practice Family Law exclusively and have for many years., However, I have litigated countless cases and obtained sizable awards for my clients in cases ranging from Medical Malpractice, negligent loan servicing, and financial elder abuse to administrative appeals before the Office of Administrative Hearings. As an experienced family law attorney with extensive trial experience, I use that same tenacity I developed as a civil litigator and public defender to better the lives of my clients. Whether seeking divorce, dividing marital assets, or battling a messy child custody matter, I am always a tireless advocate for my clients and believe that getting to know every client and personally investing myself in their cases is what has led to my success.

I am both an attorney and a counselor for my clients. I analyze the facts of your situation, usually during an in person interview. I review your documentation. I counsel my clients to take the best course of action to maximize their results. I negotiate on behalf of my clients. I investigate and obtain documentation of their claims and the facts surrounding their claims. I advocate on behalf of my clients, whether in private negotiations or in the courtroom. I am a licensed attorney with over 40 years of experience. My peers have given me the highest possible rating for legal competence and legal ethics. My legal career began at Carson, Fischer & Potts where I worked on real estate syndications, business transactions and pensions. I moved on to work with Hertzberg & Golden, specializing in litigation in the civil courts and in bankruptcy court. In 1990, I started my own firm. I continued to devote a large part of my practice to litigation. My expertise has been recognized in the areas of divorce, custody, support and parenting time disputes. Based upon my background, I also maintain a business practice which includes real estate, collections, and litigation. I was the Chair of the General Practice – Solo and Small Firm Section of the State Bar of Michigan from 2010- 2012.

Through my years of experience I can provide you with honest, direct answers to your legal questions. Do you have a valid claim? What is the most cost effective way to enforce your rights? If you have to litigate, what can you expect? I have also formed many valuable associations with other attorneys who specialize in areas of the law I do not. If I don’t know the answer to your questions, I can direct you to an attorney who specializes in that area. My goal is to have a happy, well informed client.
