Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

Practicing law has been a long-term goal for me ever since participating in a mock trial exercise in middle school. With that goal in mind, I pursued a degree in political science at Grand Valley State University with the intent of going to law school immediately following my undergraduate studies. I graduated cum laude from Michigan State University College of Law and joined the team at Kraayeveld Law.. I have always had a passion for working with kids. Throughout my time in college and law school, I worked as a high school marching band instructor and as a recreational gymnastics coach. One of my proudest achievements was founding and directing a competitive indoor percussion organization for my students to participate in at a local high school. I formed relationships with each of my students and this allowed me to gain insights into teenagers’ struggles and victories. This experience provides me with a greater understanding of young people’s struggles when the parents divorce. I utilizes my passion for helping kids as a family law attorney by working hard to ensure a positive outcome for children as families navigate divorce and custody proceedings.. As a Grand Rapids native, I strive to make a difference in the community by helping families navigate the legal process during a challenging time in their lives. I have a twin brother and value spending time with my large family. In the summer, I spend my spare time outside with my wife, Michelle and our dog, Zoey. In the winter, you can find me on the ski slopes when I am not in the office.

Practice Areas: Family

I have lived in Michigan since 1989.  We moved our family to West Michigan because we were looking for a great place to raise our children.  We found what we were looking for and have never regretted it.  My wife and I have been married for 38 years and both of our children live right here in Michigan.  That’s great for us because it means our three beautiful grand daughters are close by.. I have always believed that a person cannot truly excel at what they do if their heart is not in it.   Generally, those people that rise to the top of their chosen vocations are those that go to work each morning because they love their job.    I have been blessed with a career that I love.  I am fascinated by the law and look forward every day to exploring some new aspect of it and when necessary, challenging its validity.. I am so grateful to have been born in a free land and to live under the guiding rules of our inspired Constitution.   I approach the practice of family and criminal defense law from that point of view.    The law must work for all of us or it does not work for any.   The most important promise that I can make to you is that when I go to work for you, my heart will be in it.
