I am a life long resident of the great State of Michigan and the owner of the Greene Law Group, PLC, law firm. I received my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Wayne State University and my Juris Doctorate from Wayne State University Law School. I have been practicing law for 14 years. I spent 9 years in public service with the Legal Aid & Defenders Association, Civil Division and Wayne County Neighborhood Legal Services. In 2002, I opened my own private practice in Inkster, Michigan. In the summer of 2006, the Greene Law Group, PLC opened a new office in the City of Detroit and expanded its service area to Macomb County and Oakland County.

I have an interest in the study of American History, with an emphasis in constitutional law and pre-civil war policies concerning persons of African Decent and politics. I also enjoy writing short stories and poems.
