Violent crimes include charges of murder, manslaughter, assault, and domestic violence. Many involve the use of a knife, firearm, or another deadly weapon. The penalties for a violent crime conviction can be severe, and you need an experienced, thoughtful, and aggressive criminal defense lawyer on your side.
The mere allegation that you committed a sex crime can change your life forever. A conviction carries serious penalties as well as a stigma that can devastate relationships and your reputation. If you were charged with a sex crime in Michigan, you need a lawyer who will protect your rights, challenge the credibility of your accuser, and defend you in both a court of law and the court of public opinion. Robert Elmen will do everything he can to protect your rights, preserve your reputation, and help you beat sex crime charges.
Drug crimes can include everything from simple possession of drugs to drug trafficking and everything in between. If you were charged with a drug crime, you need experienced legal representation from a criminal lawyer who understands how law enforcement prepares and prosecutes drug cases and can work to have the charges reduced or the case dismissed. Robert Elmen understands the subtle nuances that distinguish charges of simple possession and possession with intent to distribute. He will work to protect your rights and fight for an optimal resolution in your case.
The severity of a Michigan theft crime charge often depends on the value of the property stolen and the defendant’s criminal history. Depending on the charges, you could face penalties that range from a $500 fine for petty theft to more than $15,000 and up to 10 years in prison for felony theft offenses. The penalties can be even more severe if you are labeled a “habitual offender.” Elmen Legal can evaluate your case, help you analyze your options, and prepare a defense designed to minimize any penalties you might face.
Elmen Legal represents people accused of vehicular crimes like vehicular homicide, OWI / Drunk Driving, and other traffic offenses. A conviction for a vehicular crime can carry serious penalties, including jail time, fines, and loss of your driver’s license. Defending against these criminal charges often requires a skilled and technical defense.
Michigan has some of the strictest sex offender laws in the country. If you were convicted of a sex crime in Michigan, you were likely required to register as a sex offender. Having to register as a sex offender is not just embarrassing; it can make it difficult to find work or housing and can cause significant social and mental strain.
Many people who are convicted of Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) are not eligible to have their name removed from the sex offender registry. Even if you qualify, the process is complicated. If you are interested in seeking to have your name removed from the Michigan sex offender registry, contact Elmen Legal to schedule an appointment to discuss your situation.
