Criminal Defense Attorney
In essence, criminal law is the body of law that regulates social conduct. It outlaws acts that are seen as threatening or harmful, or that endanger the property, safety, or health of others. The punishment for a criminal offense can vary widely based on statutory guidelines and on the defense you’re able to mount against the charges. At Collis, Griffor & Hendra, we can zealously represent you against a variety of charges in state and federal court, including:
- Traffic violations: Speeding, reckless driving, commercial driver’s license (CDL) violations, and more.
- Driver’s license restoration: Driving is a privilege, not a right. If your driver’s license has been suspended or revoked, we may be able to help you regain your privileges.
- Misdemeanors: Defined as a lesser criminal act, misdemeanors are generally punished less severely than felonies. Punishments can range from fines to less than a year in jail.
- Felonies: A serious crime, felonies are crimes that are punishable by the maximum, including imprisonment for over one year to death for the most severe.
- Drunk driving offenses: There are many different drunk driving offenses, including OWI, OUI, and DWI. Each comes with different penalties and punishments depending on the situation.
- Expungement: In Michigan, a person can have one felony or misdemeanor conviction set aside if certain conditions are met.
