When it comes to divorce , many law firms prefer to take simple cases. They do not want ugly fights or  complicated financial issues. But the longer you have been in a marriage, the greater your stake in it, and the more likely that a split will be intense.
Persons contemplating divorce, particularly when the marital assets are substantial or invested in a family-owned business, need informed and experienced legal advice to protect their rights. Likewise, in situations where a spouse has significantly contributed in some way to marital assets, or when the earning power of the union is concentrated in one partner, the spouse needs a wise and effective advocate.

Drug crimes and convictions carry a wide variety of sentences based on the type of offense. Sentences  range from fines and counseling to life in prison, depending on whether you are facing a felony or a misdemeanor drug charge. The severity of the crime you are charged with will vary with the circumstances, such as what type of drug was involved, the quantity, whether you have "priors", and whether violence was involved.
Drug offenses are made more severe by the presence of guns and violence. Where guns and violence are involved, the police are more likely to suspect a "drug ring" and investigate more aggressively. The prosecution is also likely to charge more aggressively. Protect yourself and seek an attorney immediately.

Michigan's broad and liberal statute regarding domestic assault results in many accusations against  people who never anticipated the need for a criminal defense attorney. Ordinary people often become involved in emotional relationships that lead them to act in otherwise uncharacteristic ways. Families frequently find themselves in crisis on weekends or at night, when criminal defense attorneys may be out of their offices. Actions and events occurring in the first 24 hours after a call to the police are often critical to the final outcome of a case.

A traffic ticket can easily become more than an embarrassment or a nuisance. Repeat traffic offenses or traffic violations related to OWI charges or motor vehicle accidents that cause injury to others can result in serious consequences. The best time and the best way to prevent further trouble after a traffic violation citation is to contact an experienced traffic defense attorney as soon as possible.
 Familiarity with prosecutors and courts, prompt response to clients, knowledge of how to apply up-to-date legal research to a particular case, a willingness to go to court as needed, an ability to listen to clients facing traffic charges, and an understanding of the need to hold costs down are all reasons that Mid-Michigan citizens turn to Stacia J.

What is an expungement? The police keep a record of all arrests and convictions, even if your arrest  occurred 25 or 35 years prior. Your arrest record could potentially be open to anyone, including employers, licensing boards, schools and credit agencies. Many states allow anybody to request a persons criminal record from the police, and even arrests where you may have been found not guilty.
Expunging your record or expungement of your criminal history involves the sealing or erasure of police and court records of your criminal conviction and arrest from public inspection in the eyes of the law.
