Mecosta County Criminal Defense Attorneys

Assertive Defense From Experienced Michigan DUI Attorneys

Facing criminal charges can be a frightening and confusing experience that can lead to damaging penalties that stay with you the rest of your life. Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, the guidance of an experienced attorney can be invaluable in helping you protect your wallet, your future and your freedom from unnecessary harm stemming from a conviction.

At the Samuels Law Office, our Mecosta County criminal defense lawyers offer aggressive criminal defense guidance to clients throughout the area. Whether you are a college student, a nonstudent or the parent of a juvenile, we have the experience and aggressive approach needed to help you find the most favorable resolutions possible.

Aggressive Defense Against a Wide Range of Charges

As a former prosecutor, James R. Samuels offers unique insight into your charges, the courts in which your case will be heard and the options you have to mount a defense. This insight, combined with our experience, allows us to provide aggressive defense to clients facing a number of charges, including:

  • DUI
  • Drug charges
  • Juvenile court issues
  • Theft
  • Shoplifting
  • Minor in possession of alcohol
  • Underage drinking
  • Criminal sexual conduct
  • Homicide
  • Armed robbery
  • Domestic violence

Whatever the specific charges, we strive to help you avoid the penalties stemming from a conviction by exploring every avenue possible, including diversion programs and sentencing delays.

We also take great care to examine the charges, the events leading to them and the actions of police officers during and after your arrest for any information that can be used to pressure the prosecution to negotiate a favorable plea or drop the charges. This information can also be used to plead your case in court.

Before You Talk to the Police, Consult Our Firm

Criminal convictions carry stiff penalties, including:

  • Lengthy jail terms
  • After jail monitoring
  • Significant fines and costs
  • Suspension of privileges, such as driving
  • Loss of parental rights

Whether you have already been charged with a criminal offense or are worried that charges may be coming, it is vital that you consult our firm before speaking to the police. Any information you offer without our assistance can be incredibly damaging to your future and can lead to a conviction.
