He is a graduate of Wayne State University Law School.
Stamler specializes in employment matters, whistleblower claims, police and governmental misconduct, sexual abuse cases and special education.

Ravitz, the former Detroit Recorder’s Court judge who passed away in December of 2007, specialized in alternate dispute resolution services as a facilitator, mediator and arbitrator on complex cases.
The attorneys featured in Michigan Super Lawyers are selected though a multi-step process. A blue ribbon panel of the top attorneys in each respective practice area evaluates the candidates.
