Criminal Defense Getting arrested is a frightening and intimidating process for most people, due mainly to fear of the unknown and a feeling of helplessness at the hands of the police, prosecutors and other aspects of law enforcement and the justice system. It seems like everyone knows what’s going on but you. Police and prosecutors foster this impression so you’ll rely on them for advice and plead guilty to the offense charged in order to avoid a harsh punishment. But you may actually have defenses available to you, and you may not even be guilty of the charges filed against you. With Clarkston Legal on your side, you’ll have the benefit of former prosecutors and long-time criminal defense attorneys who know as much or more about the law as the police and prosecutors on the other side. We’ll make sure you understand your situation, know what to expect and are informed about your options so you can make smart decisions in your own best interest. We handle the full range of Waterford & Clarkston felonies, misdemeanors and civil infractions from assaultive crimes to white collar crimes, from OWI to domestic violence, from robbery to homicide and more. A conviction can result in fines, jail time, the loss of a license and more, and a criminal record can hurt your chances for a good job, a good education, decent housing and credit, and more. Make your first call after an arrest be to Clarkston Legal, and we’ll get right to work on obtaining the best outcome possible in your situation.
