Drug Crimes

If you have been charged with a drug crime, you face potentially tough penalties if you are convicted. We defend people in the Detroit metro area and throughout Michigan who have been arrested for drug possession, possession with intent to sell, drug manufacture, drug trafficking and other charges related to narcotics, controlled substances and illegal drugs.

Assault and Battery

If you are convicted of simple assault or aggravated assault, you could face jail time and fines. For felonious assault involving the use of a weapon or resisting and obstructing police, the penalties are even more severe. We provide a vigorous defense against all types of assault and battery charges, including domestic assaults and domestic violence.

Weapons Charges

If you are facing charges of felony gun possession, illegal discharge of a firearm, possession of a concealed weapon or other illegal weapon charges (mace, stun guns, brass knuckles, etc.) we can help you identify options for your defense.

Drunk Driving (OWI/DUI)

If you are facing drunk driving charges of OWI (operating while intoxicated) or DUI (driving under the influence), we will investigate all of the facts surrounding your arrest. We will challenge whether there was probable cause for the traffic stop and whether field sobriety tests and blood or breath tests were properly administered. Our attorneys will also carefully review all evidence obtained by the police and prosecutor.

Fraud and Embezzlement

Call us BEFORE you talk to the police. If you think you may be under investigation for fraud, embezzlement or another white-collar crime, early intervention by a criminal defense lawyer may help to prevent charges from being filed against you. If you have been arrested or indicted for Medicare, Medicaid or health care fraud, credit card fraud, mortgage fraud, or another financial crime, you can’t afford to be without experienced defense representation.

Clearing Your Criminal Record

If you qualify to have your conviction set aside, we can help you clear your criminal record through the expungement process. There have been recent changes in the law and we may be able to help you, even if others have failed.

Sex Crimes

If you are facing charges of rape, sexual assault, child molestation, statutory rape or another sexual offense, you may feel that you are presumed guilty until proven innocent. If convicted of a sex crime, you could have to be on the Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry for the rest of your life, in addition to jail or prison time (some convictions require a minimum of 25 years incarceration), fines and other sanctions. When the stakes are this high, hire a defense attorney you can trust to do the right thing.

Internet Sex Crimes

Computer sex crimes and Internet-related child pornography charges can involve complicated legal issues and technical evidence. If your computer has been seized or you have been charged with online solicitation of a minor or another computer sex crime, contact our defense firm to discuss your options.
