Michigan Criminal Defense Lawyers

The Michigan Penal Code and the federal Criminal Code include a variety of other offenses, such as theft and larceny, retail fraud, breaking and entering and home invasion, civil rights violations, ethnic intimidation, conspiracy, racketeering, counterfeiting, extortion, gambling, perjury and computer crimes. Moreover, under Michigan law, there are many serious criminal offenses that involve the operation of a motor vehicle.

Some of these offenses are misdemeanors, and some are felonies. Generally, a misdemeanor is an offense punishable by up to one year imprisonment, and if the court imposes a term of confinement it is typically served in a county jail. A felony, on the other hand, can be punishable by more than one year imprisonment, and if the court imposes a term of confinement there is a good chance it will be served in prison.
