Crime Lawyer in Grand Rapids

We handle all criminal charges. Common criminal charges we defend: DUI/OWI (drunk driving and drug-impaired driving), drug crimes (possession, distribution, manufacturing), assault and battery (simple assault through felonious assault), domestic violence, theft crimes (retail fraud, larceny, embezzlement), weapons offenses (CCW, felon in possession, felony firearm), sex crimes, fraud and white collar crimes, and traffic offenses. Criminal defense strategies: challenging the evidence (was search legal? Was evidence properly handled?), attacking identification (mistaken identity, unreliable eyewitnesses), establishing alibis, proving lack of intent, self-defense and defense of others, necessity and duress, constitutional violations, and procedural defenses. The criminal justice process: investigation and arrest, arraignment and bond, discovery (obtaining prosecution evidence), pretrial motions (suppressing evidence, dismissing charges), plea negotiations, trial (presenting defense, cross-examining witnesses), and sentencing. We protect your rights throughout. Why hire a crime lawyer: prosecutors have teams of investigators and attorneys. You need someone in your corner with equal resources and experience. Public defenders handle hundreds of cases and can't give individual attention. Private counsel provides dedicated representation. Former prosecutor advantage: our attorney prosecuted crimes before becoming a defense attorney. We know prosecution tactics, how cases are built, and what weaknesses to exploit. Results matter: we've achieved dismissals, acquittals, reduced charges, and favorable sentences for clients throughout Michigan. Every case receives thorough preparation and aggressive advocacy. Local court knowledge: we practice regularly in West Michigan courts, knowing judges, prosecutors, and procedures. This familiarity benefits our clients. The Browning Law Firm provides the experienced criminal defense you need when accused of any crime.
