If you have been arrested and charged with a criminal offense, you are no doubt very concerned about your future. This is a real concern, as many criminal charges have very harsh penalties in Michigan, and in many cases, a conviction will result in years spent in state prison. Some charges are less extreme, but even a DUI conviction for a first offender can mean 93 days in jail and a 6 month driver's license suspension. More serious felony charges have terrible penalties and your life can completely change, in many cases forever.

Without legal representation, you are at risk, as it is absolutely true that anything you say will be used against you. You need legal advice when charged with a crime, and our office will review your case immediately and advise you how best to move forward with your defense.
