WHAT ARE THE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION STEPS?
It’s important to know what to expect out of the criminal prosecution process. This is typically how it goes:
- Arraignment: The arraignment is where you will enter your plea. You can enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no-contest.
- Pre-trial: Pre-trial is a critical stage of the process. This is where we try to get the case thrown out on constitutional issues, or where we negotiate more favorable terms with the prosecution.
- Trial: If we can’t resolve the case before trial, we’ll prepare and get ready to defend your case in front of a jury and a judge.
- Verdict: The verdict signals the close of trial. During the verdict stage, the jury tells us where they have landed on the issue and whether you are guilty or not.
- Sentencing: If the jury finds you guilty, we proceed to the sentencing. At sentencing, both sides will give recommendations to the judge, and the judge will hand down your sentence. Your sentence could include jail time, fines, community service, or any combination of the three.
- Appeals: We can appeal a trial court decision for any number of reasons such as legal error, jury issues, judge bias, etc.
The criminal prosecution process can take months or years. No matter how long it takes, your Southfield criminal defense attorneys from Haque Legal will be with you every step of the way.

HOW WE HANDLE DUI/OWI CHARGES?
DUI/OWI charges are some of the most common criminal charges we see. It is important to have good representation when you’re facing a Southfield DUI/OWI charge because the court can suspend your license, sentence you to jail time, issue large fines, and even force you to turn over your vehicle to the state. Your employment opportunities may also be affected due to a DUI/OWI charge. We will gather and present evidence to mitigate the consequences of your DUI/OWI charge to help you avoid the severe penalties.
How Do We Handle Drug Charges?
Drug charges carry severe penalties like prolonged jail time. Our Southfield drug charges attorneys will do everything we can to attack the circumstances surrounding your drug charge like the validity of your arrest, the validity of the warrant issued, the validity of the search the police conducted, and much more. We will look at your drug charge from every angle. Regardless of if you had illegal substances on you, you are entitled to constitutional protections.
It is not uncommon for police or prosecutors to infringe on those constitutional protections in order to get a conviction. If you are charged with possession, distribution, or manufacturing of drugs, you may face anywhere from 1 to 20 years in prison and up to $50,000 in fines. Not to mention the diminished earning capabilities in the loss of your right to vote and right to own firearms. Call us today and our Southfield criminal defense lawyers help put you on the path to freedom.
HOW DO WE HANDLE WEAPONS CHARGES?
Weapons charges, similar to drug charges, carry with them the possibility of prolonged jail sentences, high fines, and the loss of certain abilities like the ability to vote and the ability to own firearms.
Weapons charges can be tacked on to any number of criminal charges. It is not uncommon to see drug charges and weapon charges or domestic violence charges and weapons charges. Your Southfield weapons charges attorney will collect evidence to defend against each charge, individually.
How Do We Handle Domestic Violence Charges?
Under the domestic violence statutes in Michigan, the criminal prosecution process will not be stopped when the alleged victim recants their statement. Once the process has been started, it is out of the alleged victim’s hands and in the hands of the prosecutor.
Further, a police officer does not need anything other than reasonable suspicion that domestic violence occurred. That is a very low standard. Therefore a skilled Southfield domestic violence attorney is necessary to defend against the unique nature of such charges.
