How Coontz Law Helps You Break Free

Coontz Law handles two sides of the criminal legal system, and we take both seriously. For people ready to clear the slate, our second-chance work is what we are known for across Michigan. For people facing charges today, we build a defense that tells your whole story and fights for the best possible outcome.

Practice Areas
Expungement

Clearing your record so your past stops showing up in background checks, job applications, and housing decisions. You have served your time. Your record should reflect that.

Gun Rights Restoration

Losing your right to own or possess a firearm can feel like losing a piece of your identity, especially if you’ve always valued your Second Amendment freedoms.

Driver's License Restoration

A suspended or revoked driver’s license can disrupt your life in countless ways.

Sex Offender Registry Removal

Being listed on the Michigan Sex Offender Registry can feel like a lifelong sentence, even after serving your time and working to rebuild your life.

Pardons & Commutations

Not all convictions are expungeable. Not all sentences are able to be overturned. But there may be one more avenue for you: a pardon or commutation of sentence from the Governor. Hard to do, but doable. Let us help you through the process.

Criminal Defense

Whether you’re dealing with family matters, business challenges, or other legal issues, we are here to protect your rights and work toward the best possible outcome.

Weapon crimes, although they may not always involve direct violence, can result in severe legal repercussions that significantly affect your future and reputation.
