Misdemeanor

Misdemeanor offenses, although less serious than felonies, typically carry up to one year in jail, fines and costs. Common misdemeanors include assault and battery, shoplifting, trespassing, disorderly conduct, reckless driving and both first and second drunk driving offenses. These cases are normally handled at the District Court. Consulting a misdemeanor lawyer or criminal defense lawyer should be your first step if you’ve been charged with a misdemeanor.

Felony

A felony charge carries the risk of serious punishment of a minimum one year and up to life in prison and significant fines and costs. Felonies are the most serious criminal cases. Examples include murder, kidnapping, drug cases, and drunk driving – third offense. It is critical that anyone charged with a felony consult an experienced felony lawyer.

A felony case begins with a felony complaint and the arrest of a defendant. The defendant is arraigned at the District Court. The initial hearing is the arraignment where the charges are read and an initial plea is entered. The defendant must post a bond, although in some cases the Court will accept a personal bond, where no money is paid to the Court.

The next hearing in a felony case is normally the preliminary examination. If the Court finds enough evidence to send the case to trial, the case will be bound over to the Circuit Court. Most felonies are resolved at the Circuit Court by a plea or trial. Potential penalties can result in probation, all the way up to life in prison and any term of incarceration in between.

Traffic Tickets

Drug Charges

There should be no doubt about the fact that in Michigan, drug offenses of all descriptions are taken very seriously. Given the fact that drug use, abuse and sales are widely perceived to be sources of tremendous societal ills, those convicted of these types of crimes routinely face severe penalties including long-term incarceration, stiff monetary fines and more. The impact of a drug conviction on anyone’s life can be devastating, not to mention long-lasting.Therefore, those who are the target of a drug-related investigation or have already been charged with one or more offenses need the help of an experienced, dedicated Michigan drug lawyer in order to seek the most positive outcome possible.
