Lake Orion area Misdemeanor Legal Representation from a Client Preferred Criminal Defense Lawyer

Misdemeanors throughout the State of Michigan are levied by prosecutors and city attorneys due to alleged violations of local ordinance laws, Michigan State law statutes, and Federally enacted laws. Commonly charged misdemeanor offenses in the Lake Orion area include (but are not limited to): DWLS (Driving While License Suspend/Revoked/ or Denied), drunk driving (DWI, OWI, Super drunk, etc.), disorderly person, assault and battery, domestic violence, and retail fraud.

For a Lake Orion area misdemeanor conviction, the most amount of jail possible is anywhere from 90 day to 365 days depending upon the underlying offense (with the exception being “high court misdemeanors” which provide for a greater maximum penalty). With exception to a select handful of misdemeanors that have mandatory minimum sentences, most misdemeanors do not require the Judge to order any sort of jail sentence. However, the Judge is free to impose very strict and time consuming and expensive probationary conditions that may make your life miserable for a misdemeanor conviction. If you choose not to strictly obey your Judge’s sentence, the possible result may include additional jail and/or even harsher probationary conditions if your probation is continued.

There are offense specific misdemeanors that can result in additional consequences outside of the Judge’s control if a conviction is entered against you, including: loss and/or restrictions to your ability to legally drive an automobile (DUI/OWI related offenses and driving without a license related offenses); loss of ability to work in a hospital setting caring for patients (various assaultive, theft/stealing/fraud related, and drug crimes); the inability to lawfully posses and/or purchase firearms (stalking, domestic violence), loss of hunting and fishing privileges (some DNR offenses), etc. If you are not a US citizen you should also seek help and advice from a leading immigration lawyer because a misdemeanor conviction can lead to severe immigration sanctions such as deportation, inadmissibility (inability to lawfully return to the United States if you ever leave the United States), immigration detention, and the inability to obtain waivers and other immigration relief.

For all misdemeanor offenses you can choose to fight or resolve the case. You should keep in mind that you have the ability to assert several important rights:

• the right to find and hire the services of your own attorney handle your defense (if you have the financial ability to retain your own lawyer) or to ask for a public defender (if without the financial ability to hire your legal representation);
• due process of law (presumed innocent of any and all criminal offenses, prosecution has sole burden of proving its case against you beyond a reasonable doubt, contested trial in front of a jury, right to cross examine all witnesses that testify against you, right to subpoena witnesses for your defense, right to remain silent and not have your silence used against you, right to testify and tell your side of the story, appellate rights).

If you are convicted of a crime, it is up to your Judge to decide what the result will be. Before your Judge sentences you, the Judge gives you and your lawyer a chance to tell him or her anything you like that may impact the sentence he or she determines
