Fully Licensed – I am a proud member of the State Bar of Michigan (SBM) and Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan (CDAM)
I have been a licensed practicing attorney in Michigan for 25 years representing thousands of clients. When representing people in criminal cases, EXPERIENCE is the key to effective representation. I dare say, there is no type of case that I have not represented someone in the criminal realm. I often say that some clients may be guilty of something, but not what they are being charged with. The government has to PROVE the case beyond a reasonable doubt!
Each case is different, so I focus on the details that matter most when conducting a consultation. My goal is to formulate and prepare a defense that results in a positive outcome, such as the dismissal of charges or lightened penalties.
Call today for a consultation explaining the trial process. I quote fees that are straight forward to each client, NO HIDDEN FEES. I emphasize the protection of my client’s rights when handling any matter concerning criminal law.
Addiction to drugs are a scourge on our society. Often the addiction to controlled substances is a medical and psychological problem necessitating treatment. The criminal justice system often makes the problem worse. Many drug-related crimes carry extremely heavy jail sentences and fines. If you are ever convicted of a drug crime, that conviction may stay on your record for the rest of your life and could affect your Drivers License or your ability to get a job, a loan, or even an apartment. For these reasons, any time you’re facing drug related charges or have been arrested for drug offenses, it’s important that you take the time to consult with a criminal defense lawyer who can give you a better understanding of the charges you are facing, your constitutional rights, and your legal and medical options.
