How Our Defense Strategy Works
Early intervention matters. We review discovery, police reports, body cam, and lab results, then identify leverage points to pressure the case. We pursue motions to suppress unlawful stops or searches, challenge statements, and test the State's ability to prove each element. When appropriate, we negotiate targeted resolutions that protect your record and minimize collateral consequences. If trial is the right path, we prepare to win.
From arraignment and bond to pretrial, motion practice, plea talks, and trial, our approach is to anticipate next steps, explain options clearly, and move decisively.
What To Expect in Macomb County
Cases move quickly at the start. Arraignment sets the bond and conditions. Pretrial conferences evaluate discovery and possible resolutions. Some cases require evidentiary or suppression hearings. Others position for trial. We keep you informed, help you comply with court orders, and protect your rights at every step.
We serve clients in New Baltimore, Chesterfield, Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, and Mount Clemens, and regularly appear in Macomb County Circuit Court and local district courts.

FAQs for Criminal Defense in Macomb County
I was arrested in Macomb County. What should I do first?
Do not discuss your case with anyone but your lawyer. Write down what happened, any witnesses, and deadlines you were given. Contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and start building your defense.
Will I have to appear in court?
Most criminal matters require at least some in-person or scheduled appearances. We will explain when you must appear, what to expect, and how to prepare for each court date.
Can you get my charges dismissed or reduced?
Outcomes depend on the facts, the law, and the evidence. We evaluate suppression issues, challenge weak elements, and pursue dismissals or reductions when legally and strategically justified.
Do you handle OWI/DUI cases?
Yes. We address traffic stops, testing procedures, potential license impacts, and pursue defenses tailored to your circumstances.
Do you offer payment plans?
Payment options may be available for qualified clients. We provide clear terms and installment schedules so you understand costs up front.
Do you handle expungements?
Yes, and we keep expungement content on its own page to avoid overlap with active defense topics. Visit our page on Criminal Defense & Expungements for details.
