The Grand Rapids-based nonprofit serves individuals with motor disorders related to complications of premature birth, cerebral palsy, spina bifida and brain injuries. For 24 years, CLC has provided opportunities for individuals with motor challenges to achieve optimal physical, cognitive and social independence through the application and promotion of conductive education principles, which are centered on the belief that movement and coordination can be learned. CLC offers programs, services and resources for parents, children, teens and young adults, as well as a summer camp for students of all ages.&nbsp;

He concentrates his practice on labor and employment issues, litigation and dispute resolution, media, First Amendment and defamation litigation and health care litigation. He represents manufacturers, contractors, financial institutions and other employers in employment disputes and has successfully represented clients in the U.S. Supreme Court, Michigan Supreme Court, several federal courts of appeals and the Michigan Court of Appeals. He also advises governments with complex matters, including litigation and government grants.
