Criminal Charges We Handle
Drunk Driving (OWI / DUI)
A conviction can mean license suspension, jail time, and long-term consequences. We fight for reduced charges, restricted licenses, and second chances.
Drug Charges
From possession to distribution, we examine search procedures, lab errors, and your rights. We push for dismissals, diversions, or reduced penalties.
Assault & Domestic Violence
These cases often come down to conflicting stories. We dig into the details, protect your rights, and work to keep your record and reputation intact.
Theft & Property Crimes
Whether it’s shoplifting, embezzlement, or a burglary charge, we explore every angle—from intent to mistaken identity—to protect your freedom.
Juvenile Defense
Young people deserve a chance to move on. We represent minors and their families in juvenile court, aiming to keep futures intact and records clean.
Probation Violations & Bench Warrants
If you’re facing a violation or have missed a court date, we can help minimize penalties and get your case back under control.
Driver’s License Restoration
Multiple OWI convictions or other offenses can leave you without a license—and without the ability to work, take care of your family, or move on with your life. We help clients in Bay County, Midland County, and Saginaw County petition for driver’s license reinstatement through the Michigan Secretary of State, preparing thoroughly for hearings, gathering strong evidence of rehabilitation, and presenting a compelling case for full or restricted driving privileges.
Facing a Different Charge? We May Still Be Able to Help.
If your exact situation isn’t listed here, don’t assume you're out of options. We handle a wide range of misdemeanor and felony charges across the Great Lakes Bay Region and can evaluate your situation quickly.
What to Know if You’re Facing Charges
These are the questions we hear most often from clients who’ve just been arrested—or who know someone who has.
Do I need a lawyer if I’m just being investigated?
Yes. Early intervention can protect your rights, prevent charges, and avoid self-incrimination. Don’t wait until you’re arrested—call us immediately.
Can I get my charges reduced or dismissed?
It depends on the case—but many first-time offenders, especially in non-violent cases, have options like plea reductions, treatment courts, or diversion programs. We’ll explore every path forward.
What if I’m guilty? Should I still hire a lawyer?
Absolutely. Our job is to protect your rights, ensure fair treatment, and help minimize the consequences. Even in guilty pleas, the outcome varies based on your attorney’s advocacy.
Will this stay on my record forever?
Not necessarily. Michigan offers expungement and record-sealing options in many cases. We’ll assess your eligibility and guide you through the process.
How do you charge for criminal defense cases?
Our fees are based on the seriousness of the charge, complexity of the case, and anticipated court involvement. We’ll explain the cost structure during your first meeting—clearly and without pressure.
