DEARBORN CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS

WE HANDLE MANY TYPES OF CRIMINAL DEFENSE CASES

We are ready to provide dedicated representation for individuals facing criminal charges in a variety of circumstances. Though we are well-equipped to take on cases of all kinds, complexities, and scopes, our firm does have a history of successfully defending against several specific types of charges. 

Our Dearborn criminal defense attorneys have considerable experience representing defendants in cases involving:

• DWI/OWI. The consequences for an OWI (operating while impaired) conviction in Michigan can be life-altering and severe. You could temporarily lose your driver's license, be forced to pay hefty fines, and even face jail time. Furthermore, an OWI conviction can have a negative impact on your current job and subsequent career opportunities. Skilled legal representation can help craft a strategy for mitigating these repercussions and securing the best possible outcome in your case. 
• Drug charges. The Possession, distribution, or manufacturing of controlled substances are all serious offenses that are still aggressively prosecuted in Michigan. Even a conviction for simple possession can radically derail your life. Depending on the specific charges and facts of the case, the potential punishments range from lengthy prison sentences to hefty fines of up to $50,000. A drug crime conviction will also appear on background checks, making it more difficult to land housing and employment opportunities even after an individual has completed their sentence. We are familiar with how law enforcement and prosecutors can violate constitutional rights in their effort to get a conviction and can in some scenarios leverage those violations to protect our clients. 
• Weapons charges. Possession of certain weapons or using a weapon during the commission of a crime can result in severe penalties. Depending on the circumstances, this could include incarceration, costly fines, and the loss of certain rights and privileges. These charges may be compounded with additional allegations such as domestic violence or drug possession. At our firm, we have a complete understanding of what prosecutors must show to obtain a conviction on any charge brought against our clients. We understand how these complex cases are built and will prepare our clients with exhaustive legal strategies that will best support their defense.
• Domestic violence. Domestic violence charges can be the result of innocent misunderstandings or heated arguments that have been blown out of proportion. In Michigan, officers must have reasonable suspicion that a domestic violence offense has taken place before making an arrest. Even if the accuser decides to drop their claims, the prosecution may still pursue the case. It is important for anyone who has been accused of a domestic violence charge to seek legal counsel right away to build a solid defense.
