Protecting Detroit & Michigan
When you’re accused of driving while impaired, you need to focus on your defense as soon as possible. Finding an attorney who understands what’s at stake and how to approach your case is essential. The outcome of your case will have lifelong impacts: a conviction can equal license suspension and time behind bars. Getting a reduction of your DUI charges or getting your case dropped entirely is your best option, and we’re ready to explore your needs.
Our Detroit DUI Lawyers can assist you.
Learn MoreBeing charged with a drug crime not only affects you, it may also affect your family. If convicted, the consequences will affect your future. You could be facing heavy fines, incarceration, and possible mandatory life sentence. You will not be eligible for any other sentence reduction or early release if prosecutors succeed. Facing criminal charges can be life altering, with money, freedom, and life-altering consequences on the line. Our drug lawyers are here to serve you.
Our Detroit Drug Charge Lawyers can assist you.
Learn MoreThe term “violent crime” covers several different aspects of criminal defense law, and charges like murder, domestic violence, or assault can carry harsh penalties and lifelong consequences. If convicted of a violent felony, you will lose your right to own a weapon, your criminal record could prevent you from getting certain jobs, and you will be sentenced to time in prison. Violent crime charges often stem from misunderstandings, one-sided tellings, or are over exaggerated. Eyewitnesses can be unreliable and unless there is direct photographic or video evidence, prosecutors often use their resources and position to strong arm defendants into accepting unfair plea deals. We can fight for your rights and help find the best possible resolution to your violent crime charges.

Hiring a private defense attorney is one of the best ways to fight your criminal charges. Public defenders, if available, are often overworked and overstressed. It’s likely they don’t have the same time, resources, or availability to devote to your criminal case. A private defense attorney like Maurice Davis can focus on your charges and guide you to your best options.
When you’re facing criminal charges in Detroit or the surrounding areas, you need to find an attorney who understands the area’s justice system, how law enforcement investigates and prosecutes crimes, and knows how to find you the optimal solution to your needs. A defense lawyer will be able to investigate all of the factors associated with your case. They’ll know what evidence to ask for from the prosecution, they’ll know how to find gaps in their evidence, and they’ll keep the details of the case organized so that you don’t miss essential updates or critical court dates. Your defense lawyer can give you the best chance at reducing your charges or getting them dismissed.
Your initial consultation is a critical step in the defense process. This meeting will give our firm insight into the full scope of your criminal case and charges, which will allow us to start to organize a defense. You should have any relevant paperwork connected to your criminal charge. That might be an arrest report or a ticket, anything that says what you have been charged with, when your next court appearance is, and which court your case will be processed through. You should also have any evidence that connects you to the crime or you feel could refute the charges. For instance, if you have a ticket to a concert that puts you on the other side of Detroit than where the alleged crime took place, in the time frame that police are saying the crime happened, you need to hold onto that ticket as it proves an alibi.
In our first meeting, we’ll go over your charges, the possible penalties or sentences if you are convicted, and discuss what the possibilities for you are. In some cases, we can push for a dismissal or we could be able to negotiate a reduction in charges for a lighter sentence. We’ll work together to figure out what your possibilities are, and then decide how we should approach your case.
Finding the right criminal defense attorney is crucial. Many criminal charges have consequences beyond fines, probation, or time behind bars. Not every law firm is equipped or prepared to fight every criminal charge. Some firms avoid taking cases involving violent crimes, others prefer white collar or traffic violations. When you are choosing a criminal defense lawyer, you need to understand what services they offer, what kind of successful record they have, and if they are prepared to give you the time your case deserves.

Yes, it is possible to get your charges dropped or reduced. In fact, it’s in your best interest to explore a dismissal, or at the very least, reduced charges. If your charges are dismissed, you will not face any consequences of a conviction and your charge may be removed from your criminal record. If your criminal defense lawyer can reduce your initial charges, you are facing the potential for lesser sentences, as in less time behind bars, lower fines, and fewer consequences. Your defense attorney may even have a better chance at securing an acquittal for a reduced charge, simply because the prosecution may have shaky evidence. However, each case is unique, and you should discuss your options and potential outcomes with your attorney.
