Two huge wins this week. Two clients whose futures look very different today than they did when they first walked into my office.

In Genesee County, my client was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance involving alleged ketamine possession and paraphernalia. After a hard-fought battle, that felony drug case was reduced all the way down to an unregistered vehicle misdemeanor.

No felony.
No drug conviction.
No fines.
No costs.

That is an incredible result in a case that could have followed my client for years.

In Washtenaw County, we secured HYTA approval from the prosecutor's office in an Accosting a Minor for Immoral Purposes case. The stakes were enormous: possible jail or prison, lengthy probation, a felony conviction, and 25 years on the SORA registry.

Instead, this client now has a path forward:

No SORA registration.
No jail.
No public criminal record after successfully completing probation.
A real second chance.

These are the weeks that remind me why this work matters. Criminal charges are not just “cases.” They are people’s lives, families, futures, jobs, reputations and opportunities.

Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee future outcomes. But when the stakes are this high, the defense has to be prepared, strategic, and relentless from day one.

USCIS issued a new memorandum in December 2025 that is already affecting immigration cases.

While adjustment of status and naturalization applications can still be filed, applicants connected to certain countries may experience longer processing times and additional security review.

If your case seems delayed, this guidance may explain why.

Quick pit stop on the way back to the office from Toledo, where I met with the Secret Service on a federal case out of the Northern District of Ohio.
