Criminal Sexual Conduct
Being charged with criminal sexual conduct ("CSC") is a life-altering event. The criminal penalties and collateral consequences of a conviction can devastate your life. If you have been accused of any form of sexual misconduct, you need a well-respected trial attorney with extensive experience in these types of cases. We know how to spot weaknesses in the government's case, how to put your accusers on the defensive, and how to put you in the best position to keep your dignity and freedom.
Domestic Violence
Convictions for domestic violence and related offenses carry significant penalties, devastating collateral consequences, and stigma. We have litigated countless domestic violence matters in our careers. We have the experience to spot vulnerabilities in the government's case. We know how to put your accusers on the defensive and we use our knowledge and skills to get the results you need.
If you have been charged with a crime stemming from a domestic relationship such as Domestic Violence, Stalking, Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm, Strangulation, or Assault with Intent to Murder, call us today for a consultation.
Child Abuse
Child Abuse cases are emotional cases. Too often, these cases are charged by the prosecution "just to be safe," even where the case relies on unreliable or misinterpreted statements of children, and speculation about what actually happened. Unfortunately, frivolous accusations by the government can devastate your life. However, with an experienced attorney on your side, many times the prosecutor's case just can't hold up in court. Don't trust a less experienced attorney to handle your case. We have the training and experience you need to get you the results you want.
Drug and Weapons Offenses
When it comes to drug and weapons offenses, Michigan prosecutors have been using the same playbook for decades. Too often, these cases result in harsh and disproportionate penalties. Weapons charges, in particular, can significantly increase the maximum possible sentence on a case. We use our experience to discredit police operations and expose unconstitutional police conduct so that you can maintain your liberty. Where the situation warrants, we also work with our clients to get them into recovery. If you have been charged with a drug or weapons offense, you need an experienced attorney on your side.
Traffic and Drunk Driving
Whether you have been cited for speeding or arrested for drunk driving, going through the court process can be confusing, burdensome, and stressful. In our careers, we have successfully handled thousands of traffic cases, including hundreds of drunk driving cases. Don't let overzealous or inexperienced prosecutors push you around and back you into a corner. Let us put the pressure on the prosecution from the beginning and put you in the best position to win.
Theft Crimes
A conviction for any type of theft crime (e.g., shoplifting, embezzlement, larceny, robbery) can have harsh and expensive criminal sanctions and devastating collateral consequences, particularly when it comes to finding future employment. If you have been accused of a theft crime you need an experienced attorney on your side right away. We have the knowledge and know-how to spot the weaknesses in the government's case and to put you in the best position to maintain your reputation, keep your liberty, and win your case.
Federal Crimes
Not all criminal charges are created equal. While both state and federal charges should be taken seriously, the stakes in federal cases are usually much higher. The federal government has significantly more resources to investigate and prosecute crime, the facts in federal cases are often times more complex, and the penalties are usually more severe in federal court. If you have been charged with a federal crime, you need to take your case seriously, and hire a serious lawyer right away. If you are being investigated for violating a federal law, or you have already been charged with a crime in federal court, you need a lawyer that will take a professional but aggressive approach to defending your rights. Call us today for a free consultation.
Criminal Appeals
It can be devastating to receive an unfavorable ruling from a judge or jury on a criminal case. Challenging a criminal verdict or other ruling requires skilled expertise. Our attorneys engage in thorough research to identify opportunities for appellate review and use clear and concise writing, and well-reasoned legal analysis, to appeal adverse rulings.
Expungements and SORA Removal
Expungement law is evolving in Michigan. Many people who have been convicted of criminal offenses don't even know they may now be eligible to have their convictions removed from their record.
If you have previously been convicted of a crime in Michigan requiring sex offender registration under the Sex Offenders Registration Act (SORA), you may also be eligible to have your name removed from the registry.
Investing in an attorney to assist with expungement and/or SORA removal can pay dividends when it comes to future employment and can allow you to truly put a previous mistake behind you. We know what judges look for when deciding whether to wipe your slate clean. We make sure they know who you really are so that you can have a fresh start. Call us today for a consultation.
Driver's License Restoration
Having a suspended driver's license can seriously affect your ability to live your life. If you continue to drive with a suspended license, you are committing a misdemeanor offense and risk your liberty every time you operate a motor vehicle. At the same time, relying on friends or family members can be inconvenient, and rideshare services can get expensive. Driver's License Restoration in Michigan is a confusing and complicated process. Our firm knows how to give our clients the best opportunity to get their driving privileges restored so that they can truly get back to living their lives.
