Frequently Asked Questions
What types of criminal cases does a Lansing lawyer handle?
Lansing criminal defense lawyers handle misdemeanors and felonies including DUI, drug offenses, assault, theft, and white collar crimes. They also handle juvenile cases and probation violations in Ingham County.
How soon should I contact a lawyer after an arrest in Michigan?
You should contact a lawyer immediately after arrest. Michigan law requires an arraignment within 48 hours for most charges. Early legal help can protect your rights and prevent self-incrimination.
What is the role of the Michigan Rules of Evidence in my case?
The Michigan Rules of Evidence govern what evidence can be used at trial. A lawyer can challenge improper evidence, such as illegal searches or unreliable witness statements, to weaken the prosecution case.
