Begin Forming Your Defense Strategy in MI
We defend against a broad range of violent criminal charges, including:
- Assault and battery
- Stalking
- Aggravated assault
- Domestic violence
- Rape
- Aggravated battery
- Battery on elderly
- Battery on law enforcement
- Criminal sexual conduct
We know that there are always two sides to a story, so we begin every case we handle by performing our own thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding the charges. We talk to the alleged victim and witnesses to learn more about what happened and form a strategy based on the unique needs and goals of our clients.
We are often able to have violent crimes charges dismissed or reduced to misdemeanor assault based on evidence we uncover during our investigations. This can make a huge difference, saving our clients from a felony conviction and lengthy prison sentence.
