A probation violation in Michigan can send you back to jail faster than the original charge did.

Missing a check-in, failing a drug test, picking up a new charge, or even leaving the state without permission can trigger a violation. Once your probation officer files it, you're back in front of a judge defending yourself all over again, and judges take violations seriously.

The penalties for a violation could include the maximum sentence from your original charge, which means time you thought you avoided is suddenly back on the table.

Our attorneys defend probation violation hearings across the state and work to keep clients out of jail and on track with their requirements. If you've been notified of a violation or think one is coming, call us before your hearing date.

Michigan's Clean Slate Act made it easier than ever to get a criminal conviction removed from your record. A lot of people who are eligible have no idea they qualify.

An expungement clears your record from background checks, which means better job opportunities, housing applications, professional licensing, and the ability to move forward without your past following you into every room.

The process has specific requirements and deadlines, and filing incorrectly can delay or deny your petition. Our attorneys handle expungements across Michigan and know exactly what judges are looking for when they review these cases.

If you have a conviction on your record and want to find out whether you're eligible, that conversation costs you nothing.

This is what happens when the right team is in your corner.

Our attorneys recently secured a full case dismissal in Kent County, April 2026. Our team dug into every detail, challenged the evidence, and fought for the best possible outcome. The result? No conviction, no record, no lasting consequences.

Dismissals like this come from preparation, experience, and a firm that treats your future like it matters, because it does.

If you're facing charges in Michigan, call us immediately.

Michigan traffic stops happen fast, and knowing your rights before one happens keeps you from making decisions you can't take back.

You are required to provide your license, registration, and proof of insurance. Beyond that, you can politely decline to answer questions like "where are you coming from" or "have you been drinking." You can also refuse consent to a vehicle search if the officer doesn't have a warrant.

These rights exist to protect you. Using them is legal and it gives your attorney a stronger position if charges follow.

Call us immediately if you're stopped or arrested this summer.
