We dismantled the narrative, exposed the truth, and forced the right result.

No jail. Path to dismissal.

Defense attorney Ellen Michaels said that the resolution in the case involving former University of Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore reflects “a careful legal process” and allows him to move forward with his family.

Our investigation proved that the charges were not supported by the facts.

BREAKING: In a stunning shift, ex-Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore and prosecutors agreed to a plea deal instead of moving forward with critical hearing, a move that avoids a trial and testimony from the woman who said he barged into her apartment after she ended their two-year affair.

Moore agreed to plead no contest to malicious use of a telecommunications device and one count of trespass, said First Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kati Rezmierski. Both are misdemeanors and new charges formally brought on Friday, March 6 during a hearing before 14A District Court Judge J. Cedric Simpson.

The three previous charges − including third-degree felony home invasion − are now dismissed.

JUSTICE SERVED. A YOUNG MAN IS GOING HOME.
Today, Ellen K. Michaels of Ellen K. Michaels & Associates secured a major win for justice. All serious felony charges against an innocent teenager were dismissed at the preliminary hearing.

From the start, this case never should have reached this point. The evidence did not support the allegations. When the facts were finally tested in court, the truth came out.

Cases like this are why defense work matters. When the system gets it wrong, someone has to stand up and say no. Especially when a young life is on the line.

Proud to fight for the innocent. Proud to bring a young man home.

Galloway's attorney, Ellen K. Michaels, said it is unjust that the AG's office has doubled down on their fight to use this evidence and are ignoring "what is obviously wrongdoing." She said the AG's office does not have any leg to stand on and is ignoring Galloway's constitutional right to due process.

Danielle Stislicki was reported missing in December 2016 and was last seen with Floyd Galloway, who is charged with her murder.

In October of 2021, Ellen K. Michaels was retained by a high profile client arrested and accused of allegedly participating in a drug trafficking conspiracy. The alleged conspiracy was investigated for more than 8 years by the FBI, Department of Justice’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, and many State and local law enforcement agencies.

Ellen Michaels strategically prepared for this three week long trial as she faced more than 33 government witnesses and over 1000 exhibits. The jury deliberated and returned the verdict of NOT GUILTY.

Out of more than 18 arrested in the conspiracy, she received the only NOT GUILTY verdict. Ellen K. Michaels defends people in both state and Federal high profile, white-collar, criminal cases.
