• Schwartz Law Firm: Success in a criminal case can literally add years to your free time.
• Thomas Loeb: Believe it or not, many people who are convicted of a crime and end up in prison were falsely accused. Although the American criminal justice system works in most cases, not all juries get things right, and the consequences can be tragic. An innocent party pays the price for something he or she did not do, while the guilty party roams free. The best way to avoid such an unjust result and ensure the proper outcome when faced with criminal accusations is to immediately seek counsel from the best criminal defense attorneys available. Skilled and knowledgeable defense lawyers know their way around the criminal justice system and can navigate through the complex procedures to ensure the fairest possible conclusion.
• Lowell Friedman: Have you been arrested for a criminal activity? Any criminal arrest is serious and must be handled by a qualified attorney. A conviction can result in terrible consequences for years to come, such as jail time, loss of driving privileges, job termination, probation, plus severe financial penalties. What should you do if youšve been arrested? Being arrested and becoming exposed to the criminal justice system can be an intimidating and troubling situation for anybody. When this happens, it makes sense to hire an experienced and qualified attorney to stand by your side and guide you through the legal system. When choosing an attorney, choose legal counsel that you can trust, who will work with you to positively resolve your legal situation.
• Raymond Cassar: Evidence of a criminal defendant's prior crimes or convictions may be relevant in a proceeding for a subsequent offense. Notwithstanding the relevance of such evidence, the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE) generally prohibits the use of evidence of prior crimes to prove the character of the person against whom it is introduced. Specifically, FRE 404(b) bars the admissibility of "evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts...in order to show action in conformity therewith."
• Jeffrey Buehner: any people under criminal investigation make the mistake of thinking that the police will "go easy" on them if they cooperate. Do not make this mistake! A veteran detective knows how to get a suspect to 'voluntarily' waive his constitutional rights and provide damaging evidence against himself.
• Barton Morris: There are many technical requirements for a valid investigation of a drunk driving charge. The Michigan Legislature continually tries to make tougher laws about drunk driving Therefore it is neccessary for a skilled lawyer to look carefully at each technical aspect of the case in order to make sure that the police follow the law and required procedures.
• Eric I. Kutinsky: These cases are very involved and to go into detail at this point is futile. These type of cases are very fact specific, as are most misdemeanors and felonies. There are many isses that need to be explored. REMEMBER: Do NOT talk with the Police/Agency. EVERYTHING will be used against you. Keep quite and call.
• Joseph Awad: A DUI Arrest is not a conviction. If you are convicted of drunk or impaired driving, the court may order imprisonment, fines and costs, community service, alcohol treatment or education, or a combination of these penalties.
• Raymond A. Cassar: CALL AN ATTORNEY THE NEXT DAY while the information is still fresh in your mind.
• Daniel Moss: FAQ promised
• Robert A. Mouradian: Consequences of a conviction of operating under the influence of liquor (OUIL) offense or unlawful bodily alcohol level (UBAL) offense under Michigan Law.
• Scott Nueman: Drunk driving is a serious offense in the State of Michigan. Recent legislation has enhanced the penalties for drunk driving violations. This enhancement includes making a third drunk driving offense a felony in the State of Michigan. A felony conviction for a third drunk driving offense may land the defendant in prison. Consequently, it is imperative that for any drunk driving offense the defendant has experienced legal representation.
