What We Do?

Time for a second chance?

The criminal-legal system is broken, merciless, and unjust. Still, we can help you use that system and OVERCOME its flaws. Is it time?

What do we do? We do re-dos. We break chains and make change. We get new leases on life. We clean slates. We fight like hell. We do second chances.

We OVERCOME and help our clients OVERCOME.

Specifically, we focus on two broad areas: defending against criminal charges and addressing the lasting consequences of convictions.

Defending Against Criminal Charges is the cornerstone of what we do. From the moment you’re charged, your rights and future are on the line. Our goal is to challenge the evidence, navigate the legal system, and ensure a fair outcome, whether through negotiations or in court.

Addressing Lasting Consequences goes beyond the courtroom. A criminal conviction can create significant challenges in everyday life. We work to minimize those impacts through options like expungements, so you can clear your record and move forward. If you’re facing restrictions from multiple convictions, we assist with driver’s license and gun-rights restorations. And for those dealing with the severe consequences of sex offense convictions, we can work to remove your name from registries where possible.

Michigan Criminal Defense

Michigan Criminal Defense

If you’ve recently been charged or convicted, we’ll fight for your rights at every stage. Whether you’re facing charges or dealing with the aftermath of a conviction, we’re committed to standing by your side and pursuing the best possible outcome for your case.

Federal Criminal Defense

Facing a federal conviction? We’ll fight for you. No matter where you are, we’ll stand by your side, challenging the charges and working tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Habeas Corpus

Exhausted all options in the state courts?  And the US Supreme Court wouldn’t take the case? Well, it might still not be over. We can ask a federal court to intercede and take a fresh look at your case.

Postconviction 6500 Motions

Even after it’s too late, it’s not too late. If there’s new evidence in your case or new law that’s helpful to you, we might be able to reopen your case and get your conviction tossed after all these years.

Second Chances

Expungements

The good news? It’s a lot easier to get rid of those old convictions than it used to be. The bad news? The Clean Slate laws are a complicated mess. We can help you navigate the process.

Driver's License Restoration

The Secretary of State is looking for any little reason not to give you your driving privleges back. The solution? Don’t give them any little reason. We can help with that.

Firearm Rights Restoration

Let us guess: you miss hunting. Or you have a family now and want to protect them. But that felony conviction stands in the way. We can help you get your State of Michigan gun rights back.

Sex Offender Registry Removal

Only 15-year sentences should be 15-year sentences. Not so if you’re convicted of the most minor type of sex crime. In some cases, we can help you be free of this burden once and for all.

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.
