Experienced Criminal Defense Representation

In order to provide the strongest defense representation possible, our Ingham County defense lawyers thoroughly investigate your case—asking the right questions, examining what rights may have been violated, and what defense strategies may apply:

• Drunk driving: Is this your first offense? Was the breathalyzer reliable? What field sobriety tests were used?
• Drug possession or drug distribution: How was the evidence obtained? Was a proper search warrant executed?
• Statutory rape: Are you and the alleged victim involved? Is the alleged victim's age the only cause for the arrest?
• Child molestation/sexual abuse: Is the child witness being persuaded or manipulated?
• Other criminal charges: Did the police make technical errors? Were you issued proper Miranda rights? How reliable are witnesses? Are police informants benefiting from providing "reliable information"?

Regardless of the charges against you, our criminal defense lawyers work relentlessly to challenge the evidence against you. Our focus is on providing you with the best chance to avoid conviction.
