About Robert German

Rob is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), National College of Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers, Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan, the American Bar Association, and Family Law membership Robert H. German was born in Iowa in 1961. He attended Northeast Missouri State University, Mount Saint Clare College, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where he graduated with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Criminal Justice and Political Science. Rob worked most of his undergraduate college years in law enforcement. He served as a police officer in both Illinois and Arkansas.

During his tenure as a police officer, Rob began his career in law enforcement as a regular police officer assigned to the patrol division. During that time he performed normal police activities such as answering calls for service, investigating traffic accidents, writing traffic citations, and arresting criminals for a variety of criminal offenses from the very basic normal charges to kidnapping and murder charges.

While assigned to the patrol division, Rob was involved with many drunk driving arrests. He was trained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in advanced field sobriety testing, the same field sobriety testing still used today in drunk driving investigations. He became a certified instructor in the Advanced Field Sobriety Testing techniques. In 1984 Rob was the first Arkansas police officer to arrest an individual under Arkansas’s then-new felony drunk driving statute which made a person’s 4th drunk driving conviction a felony.

I am also interested in a listing in Grand Haven since that is where the court is located. Grand Haven and Spring Lake are only separated by a river.
