I am an experienced trial attorney with a strong history of positive results in drug, murder, Criminal Sexual Conduct, and DUI/OWI cases. I have successfully argued cases before the Michigan Court of Appeals and have appeared as a commentator on Court TV's Best Defense for analysis of a murder case. Recently I was a guest on the Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson. I have served as an adjunct professor at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School and as a mentor for the Ingham County Bar Association's Mentoring Program.
I was born and raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and graduated from the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 1991 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. I attend the Thomas M. Cooley Law School and graduated with honors. Following my graduation in 1994, I accepted a position with the Michigan Court of Appeals Prehearing Department. After that I practiced as a staff attorney for a national law firm where I was promoted to Regional Director of Attorneys for four states. During my work with the national firm, I found my passion for criminal defense law. In 1999 I resigned in order to start my own firm, Grabel & Associates, with a sole focus on criminal defense.
