Drug Crime Defense

Livingston and Oakland County, Michigan, Drug Crime Defense Lawyers

An aggressive advocate in your corner when facing Michigan drug charges

The “War on Drugs” in this country means the federal and Michigan drug laws give sweeping powers to law enforcement and prosecutors, sometimes resulting in the overzealous prosecution of even a minor drug crime, and sending casual users and innocent people to jail for long periods of time. At the southeast Michigan law firm of Reeds & Reeds, our practice is devoted to the defense of criminal charges, including all misdemeanors and felonies .

With over 40 years’ experience and over 1,000 criminal cases tried at all levels of the state and federal courts, a drug charges defense attorney from Reeds & Reeds is a powerful advocate. We are dedicated defense lawyers who can thoroughly investigate drug charges and identify and challenge all weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Contact a criminal defense lawyer today.

Criminal Defense: A Few Simple Rules
If you think you are under suspicion or investigation, are going to be interviewed or are being questioned, have been arrested or charged in any criminal matter: contact an attorney immediately.

1. Do NOT talk to the police without an attorney. They will tell you it’s a simple matter, they just have a few questions, you’ll help yourself if you don’t “lawyer up,” you’ll look guilty if you call an attorney. DO NOT LISTEN. Do not answer ANY questions about the events, even to give a simple explanation.
2. Do NOT talk to anyone about the events in question. Your friends, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your husband or wife, your diary, your accomplices: do NOT admit anything to anyone.
3. Do NOT e-mail us or anyone information about your case. Until you actually hire your lawyer, attorney-client privilege may not apply! We do not give legal advice over the phone or by e-mail, and we do not provide an easy “intake form” for you to describe the details of your case, because anything you tell us in the process of hiring us might be used against you in court. It’s important to get the right lawyer—but do it in person.
4. We do NOT want to talk about whether or not you are guilty. The purpose of our justice system is to force the government to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you committed the crime in question. Our job is to find out what evidence they have to do that, not to find out for ourselves whether you are guilty, or to judge you.
