Welcome back and thanks for joining us again for this chat about federal gun laws, and how they may differ from what you’re used to hearing about here in Michigan. After all, most people are familiar with the gun laws of their state, and here in the Great Lakes State our clients are usually aware […]

Gun laws are a controversial subject. People tend to take a hard line stance on guns and gun laws, regardless of which side of the line they stand on. And we’re certainly not here to tell you where you should or shouldn’t stand on the issue of gun laws. However, what we have noticed is […]

The term “hate crime” tends to conjure up images of the Ku Klux Klan, or the horrific wholesale murder of Jews in the Holocaust during WWll. But the reality is that hate crimes cover a much wider net than the traditional assaults on American Americans and Blacks and Jews. In fact, hate crimes can be […]

We don’t actually get asked this question a lot. And not because we don’t handle our fair share of federal cases. Actually, it’s probably because most people don’t even know what federal sentencing guidelines are, or what role they would play in a criminal case.

Sometimes it’s existing laws that get adapted, and sometimes it’s completely new laws that get introduced to address things that were never illegal before. And 2019 is no […]

DNA as evidence has been a somewhat controversial subject over the years. Between the many times it has been used to reveal that convicted criminals were actually innocent, to arguments that it was never conclusive enough to convict someone in the first place, DNA gets lots of press. And now, with the surge toward personal […]

Legalizing recreational marijuana was a bold move for Michigan voters late last year, making us only one in ten states across the US to take this controversial step. But what does that mean for Michigan’s future? Will legalizing the recreational use of weed for adults have a positive impact on the Great Lakes state in […]

Welcome back and thanks for joining us again. We’ve been talking about how easy it is to break the law in some instances, without even realizing you did it. Sometimes it’s because you didn’t know what the law was (which isn’t hard in Michigan where hundreds of new laws are passed every year!) And sometimes […]
