Criminal defense attorneys secure the rights of their clients and force prosecutors to prove each charge against you beyond a reasonable doubt. If you have been charged with a serious crime, you are likely scared, and rightfully so. It is often a terrifying experience. Your entire future can change. Your life hangs in the balance. The stakes are huge. That is why you need a Livonia criminal defense attorney who understands the system and can either get the charges dropped by the prosecutor, reduced by the prosecutor, dismissed by the judge, or a not-guilty verdict at trial. The prosecutor’s burden of proof is high. Our job is to ensure that they meet that burden.
Because the burden of proof is so high in criminal defense cases, what police and prosecutors want more than anything is a confession from you. Once they have it, it is very difficult for your attorney to get it tossed from the record and it flips the burden of proof to us to prove your innocence. That is why it is imperative that you say nothing to police officers without your attorney present. They will try to get you to betray yourself during interrogation. Do not risk it. Call The Law Offices of Bradley J. Friedman before saying a word.
Regardless of the severity of your crime, The Law Offices of Bradley J. Friedman has the experience necessary to defend our clients against the most serious of crimes. These include white-collar crimes, sex crimes, and murder. We also represent clients accused of property crimes, robbery, burglary, drug crimes, and weapons offenses. If you are a juvenile who has been charged with a crime, we can represent you, too.
Some traffic offenses can be quite serious. For instance, operating while intoxicated (OWI) or driving under the influence of drugs (DUI) is prosecuted as a crime and not an infraction. You can also be charged with driving on a suspended license, attaching improper license plates to your vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving, or vehicular assault and homicide. In each of these cases, having a successful Livonia criminal defense attorney manage your case will only improve your results.
Additionally, Michigan uses a point system for moving violations. If you accrue enough of them, you can have your license suspended or revoked. A criminal defense attorney can help.
