Fair And Ethical Legal Representation For Criminal Cases
Misdemeanor
A misdemeanor is a crime that may result in a fine of up to $1,000 or up to one year in county jail. Many judges will consider options for alternative sentencing if it’s your first offense, such as treatment or diversion programs. In some cases, our team of attorneys may be able to get the charges dismissed before the trial.
Drugs
If you have been accused of any crime related to drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or prescription drugs, you need an attorney who will make sure your side of the story is heard. Drug cases can involve heavy fines, jail time, mandatory counseling or rehab programs, suspension of your driver’s license or loss of other professional licenses, community service, and other consequences.
Probation Violations
If you have been accused of violating your probation, you need an attorney who will represent your side of the story. A probation officer may not have your best interests at heart and we can help to make sure the judge hears what you have to say. A parole violation can lead to fines, an extended probation period, or even jail time. Our experienced criminal defense lawyers can help you avoid additional penalties.
Sexual Assault
These types of cases are complex, highly emotional, and require the deepest level of understanding and empathy for all parties in order to reach the best possible outcome. If you are convicted of sexual assault, you not only face fines and jail time but the potential of having to register as a sex offender.
Felony
A felony is a more serious crime that may result in significant fines and jail time in a state or federal prison. If you are convicted of a felony, you may spend years in prison and afterward you may have problems finding a job and supporting your family. An experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney will do everything possible to create a solid defense and obtain a favorable verdict.
Drunk Driving
If you have been accused of a DUI, you risk the suspension or loss of your driver’s license, as well as fines and possible jail time. The laws in Michigan are very strict when it comes to drunk driving and our attorneys can help you navigate the complex legal processes related to a DUI.
Traffic Violations
Most of us will experience a traffic violation at some point in our lives. While one violation may result in just a fine or a few points on your license, it can add up over time if you have more than one violation. Soon you may find yourself at risk of losing your license. Our team can review your case and help you maintain your license and clean up your driving record.
Assault
If you have been accused of assault, the circumstances around your case are a critical part of your defense. A felony assault conviction can lead to serious financial hardships and can impact your ability to hold down a job in the future. It can also result in significant fines and jail time. Our team can work with you to make sure you have the best possible outcome in your case.
