Joe has a broad range of experience, having previously practiced in the areas of litigation and closely-held corporations. Since 1980, Joe has practiced almost exclusively in the real estate area including acquisitions, development, zoning, annexation, management, leasing and sales. He has represented both local and regional developers and, for a time, was president of a real estate holding company. Joe is a licensed title agent. Based on the grading and comments of his peers, Joe is recognized with an AV Rating, the highest rating given to lawyers by Martindale-Hubbell.

Joe finds it important to stay well-informed about his clients so he is, “able to understand and even anticipate their needs.” His involvement with trade organizations such as NAIOP and OLTA help him do that. 

Joe is particularly passionate about his children and grandchildren and enjoys spending time with them at his cottage in northern Michigan.
