Protect Your Rights At Every Stage

Anytime you are being investigated and/or arrested for a criminal offense by the police you need the advice and counsel of a Criminal Defense Attorney. The police have one job; to investigate and arrest people they think are involved in criminal activity. They may tell you things that are false to get you to confess to wrong doing. Remember they are trained interrogators. Your words will be twisted to make you look like a liar. This is all done to get you to confess.

If you’ve been charged with a drug-related crime, contact me to discuss your case with an understanding defense attorney. Depending on the circumstances of your situation, I may be able to help you obtain a favorable treatment plans, help you prove your innocence, or even get the charges against you dropped completely. The key is to act quickly, so give us a call or book a free consultation!

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.
