CRIMINAL DEFENSE:
Individuals found to have violated a criminal law whether through their own admission of guilt or through the determination of a jury can be subjected to fines, imprisonment, probation and community service, among other penalties. The outcome of any criminal case depends upon the facts surrounding the crime charged, the strength of the evidence, the legal validity of law enforcement and courtroom procedure, and the goals and strategy of the government and defense .
ARRAIGNMENTS:
After your arrest, booking and initial bail phases of the criminal process, the first stage of courtroom-based proceedings is the arraignment. During a typical arraignment, a person charged with a crime is called before a criminal court judge, who reads the criminal charges against the defendant, assigns a court-appointed attorney if the defendant cannot financially afford their own defense, asks the defendant how he or she pleads, i.e. guilty, not guilty, etc., alters the bail amount or releases the defendant on his or her own recognizance and announces dates of future proceedings in the case, such as the preliminary hearing, pre-trial motions, and trial date.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
Domestic violence is any physical, emotional, sexual or other violence that takes place between people who may be married or not married; heterosexual, gay, or lesbian; living together, separated or dating. Domestic violence can be punished in both criminal and civil courts. Wrongful acts include physical assault: hitting, pushing and shoving, etc., sexual abuse, unwanted or forced sexual activity, and stalking. Michigan criminal defense laws are aimed at punishing domestic violence offenders who may face fines and jail time.
WHITE COLLAR CRIMES:
Knowledge workers, high-tech professionals, corporate executives and clergy who have been criminally charged for offenses such as corporate theft, embezzlement, forgery, hacking, or fraud are often referred to as “white collar” offenders and can be prosecuted for white collar crimes. In some cases, first-time offenders have been convicted and sent to prison, even with no prior criminal history.
FELONY CRIMES:
Felony Crimes involve drug and narcotics charges, burglary, robbery, homicide, assault, arson, kidnapping and sex crimes. A felony conviction is a serious matter that can result in a substantial state prison sentence and the potential loss of certain privileges and Constitutional rights of U.S. citizenship, such as the right to possess a firearm or the right to vote or become employed as a child care provider.
