Neil is a member of the firm’s litigation group. Before joining Varnum, Neil clerked for the Hon. Sean F. Cox on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and for the Hon. Richard Allen Griffin on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. During his clerkships, Neil worked on hundreds of civil and criminal cases, gaining experience on the full spectrum of cases that come before a federal court.
During law school, Neil interned for the Hon. Robert Holmes Bell on the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan and for the Hon. Joan Larsen on the Michigan Supreme Court. This experience has provided Neil with unique insight into both of Michigan’s federal district courts and the state’s highest court.
