Computer and internet crimes
The relative anonymity of the online world has created an environment where it is easy to commit, or frame others for committing, illegal actions. Our lawyers have the legal knowledge needed to defend clients accused of any of the following computer and internet crimes:
- Spam crimes and illegal mass marketing emails
- Violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
- Theft or misappropriation of trade secrets, credit card information, bank information, and other forms of identity theft
- Fraud
- Solicitation of a minor
- Production, possession, sale, distribution, or receipt of child pornography
Building a sound defense is crucial to both clearing your name and the success of your case, especially in instances where the stigma of child pornography could permanently ruin your reputation. Our firm works with internet technology and computer forensic experts as part of our investigation process, doing everything possible to have the charges against you reduced or dismissed.
Appeals and habeas corpus
A guilty conviction is not necessarily final in a criminal case. You have the right to appeal—either through habeas corpus or a 6.500 motion—to see if the sentence against you can be reduced or dismissed on legal grounds. An attorney from our firm can analyze all the details of your original case to look for flaws and weaknesses and tell you whether your conviction warrants an appeal. If so, we can provide assistance with:
- Appeals to the U.S. Sixth and Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals or the U.S. Supreme Court
- Appeals to the Michigan Court of Appeals or the Michigan Supreme Court
- Federal habeas corpus proceedings (§2254 and §2255 petitions)
- Petitions to expunge criminal convictions
- Motions to reduce jail and prison sentences
- Michigan 6.500 motions (motions for relief from judgment)
As Michigan law has strict deadlines for filing appeals and motions for sentence reductions or record expungements within a specific period of time, it is vital you contact our firm as soon as possible so we can begin the process of reviewing your case.
Juvenile law
While crimes committed under a certain age are sealed from public record, being convicted of breaking the law can have a lasting impact on the course of a young adult’s life. Our law firm defends the rights of minors who are charged with:
