If you face charges for possessing, using, manufacturing or selling drugs, the consequences for drug crime convictions in Michigan vary accordingly. Marijuana possession charges can bring both fines and up to a year in jail. Marijuana distribution charges can be much more severe, bringing up to four years in prison. Cocaine charges can include severe fines plus at least four years in prison, depending on the amount of cocaine in your possession. These are not charges to take lightly, so you need skilled legal representation that is focused on winning your case. I will work to achieve a favorable outcome that reduces or eliminates your time in jail and blemishes on your permanent record.
Embezzlement charges, which involve the theft or misappropriation of funds, are complex, and the penalties are severe, whether a large sum of money or only a few hundred dollars are involved. This charge can ruin your life by following you every time you try to get a new job, so it must be taken seriously. You need vigorous representation from an attorney with proven results and a solid reputation in the community. I can examine your specific situation and explain the best course of that limits the detrimental effects on your future.
While a misdemeanor is a less serious crime than a felony, it still requires your prompt attention and the right legal representation. Whether you have been charged with assault and battery, larceny, domestic violence, or reckless driving, if convicted, you could end up spending time in jail and facing serious fines. You deserve skilled and knowledgeable representation from an attorney who will work to protect your rights.
For most felony charges in Michigan, which are punishable by more than one year in prison, you need a strong defense that can effectively challenge the prosecution’s evidence. If you are accused of a Class A felony, such as murder, you could be facing a life sentence behind bars. So a murder or manslaughter charge or a count of criminal sexual conduct, child pornography or child abuse demands representation by an experienced criminal defense lawyer who has had success in cases like yours. I have experience not only winning these cases at trial but also securing dismissals and achieving successful plea agreements, and I am prepared to help you no matter how serious the charge you face.
