Have you been wrongly accused of a criminal offense? Do you need an experienced Michigan criminal law attorney?
Criminal law is the body of law that relates to so-called "public wrongs." Criminal law does not concern itself with disputes between individuals, but relates to offenses against the public order. The federal, state, and local governments define criminal law and prosecute the people who commit crimes that range from minor traffic violations, to serious, violent offenses, like rape or murder.
Crimes are generally divided into two different types: a felony is a crime punishable by more than one year in prison. Felony cases usually begin in district court and then can be bound over to circuit court for trial if the examining judge determines that probable cause exists that the crime was committed and that the defendant committed the crime. A misdemeanor is a crime punishable by up to a year in county jail.
A defendant may retain a criminal defense attorney at any stage of their case. Whether it is during the investigation or the night before their arraignment, a lawyer can help you.
