Criminal Defense Attorney in Michigan
When you’re facing criminal charges, your freedom, future, and reputation are all at stake. At Fillmore Law, we understand the fear and uncertainty that comes with being accused of a crime. Our firm represents clients across Detroit and the surrounding areas in a wide range of criminal cases—from misdemeanor charges to the most serious felony offenses. Whether you’re under investigation, facing charges, or dealing with a probation violation, we are here to fight aggressively for your rights.
Experienced Defense for Serious Felony Charges
Criminal accusations involving violent or high-level offenses demand a seasoned legal defense. We routinely represent individuals charged with Felonious Assault, including Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Attempted Murder, Home Invasion, and Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC), including various degrees of sexual assault. These charges carry significant prison time, and it is crucial to have an attorney who will challenge every piece of the prosecution’s case.
Our firm also handles Homicide Offenses, such as First- and Second-Degree Murder, Manslaughter, and Negligent Homicide. We conduct thorough investigations, consult expert witnesses, and ensure your side of the story is heard. No matter the charge, we are relentless in pursuing the best possible outcome.
Drug and Alcohol-Related Offenses
Drug crimes are aggressively prosecuted in Michigan. We represent clients charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, whether involving prescription medications or narcotics. Our firm explores all available options, from challenging illegal searches and seizures to negotiating for treatment-based alternatives.
We also defend clients charged with Operating While Intoxicated (OWI/DUI), including OWI 1st, 2nd, and 3rd offenses. These charges can result in jail time, license suspension, and long-term consequences. We work to minimize penalties, challenge breathalyzer or field sobriety test results, and protect your ability to drive and work.
Domestic Violence, Assault, and Public Order Offenses
Fillmore Law provides aggressive defense for those accused of Domestic Violence, including 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Offense charges. A domestic violence conviction can lead to jail time, no-contact orders, and the loss of firearm rights. We also handle cases of Simple Assault, Disorderly Conduct, and Resisting & Obstructing an Officer (R&O), where even minor resistance during arrest can be charged as a crime.
Public order offenses like Indecent Exposure, Driving While License Suspended (DWLS), and Reckless Driving may seem minor, but they can impact your criminal record and future. We take every charge seriously and treat every client with respect.
Theft, Fraud, and White-Collar Crimes
Theft offenses can range from shoplifting to complex financial crimes. We defend individuals charged with Retail Fraud (Shoplifting), Auto Theft, Larceny in a Building, and Larceny & Theft Crimes. In white-collar cases, we handle Identity Theft, Credit Card Fraud, Uttering and Publishing, and Financial Transaction Device fraud. These charges often involve digital evidence and require careful legal strategy to challenge the government’s claims.
Weapons and Traffic Offenses
Michigan has strict laws concerning firearms. We represent clients charged with Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW), and other Weapons Offenses. These cases can carry mandatory prison sentences and require immediate attention.
We also defend clients accused of Fleeing and Eluding, Malicious Destruction of Property (MDOP), and other Traffic Offenses. Even seemingly minor traffic charges can escalate and result in serious penalties without skilled representation.
