Misdemeanors

Knowledgeable Defense Against Misdemeanor Charges

A Michigan Criminal Defense Attorney with Public Defense Experience

Though punishments for misdemeanor offenses are generally less harsh than for felony crimes, it is still important to take your defense seriously. You may be subjected to fines, probation, suspension of drivers license, loss of professional license, court mandated treatment or anger management. A conviction will go on your record and can damage your future employment opportunities. Accordingly, it is important to have a quality lawyer protecting your rights and minimizing the consequences you face.

At Robin D. Stephens, PLLC, I aggressively defend clients in Ann Arbor and throughout southeast Michigan who have been charged with traffic violations and misdemeanor charges. As a former public defender, I have more than 10 years of experience practicing in criminal court. Contact me by calling 734-274-6570 or 888-835-9931 to schedule a free initial consultation and discuss the details of your case.

Legal Guidance Pertaining to Your Big Picture Needs

My experience as a social worker has provided me with valuable insight into caring for my clients' overall needs. I will explore all available legal options in order to find the solution that best fits your unique situation. Some misdemeanor charges I defend clients against include:

In addition, when appropriate, I can refer you to drug and alcohol treatment centers or assist you in pursuing expungement in order to keep your criminal record clean.

Protecting Your Driving Privileges

Being charged with drunk driving or exceeding the allowed level of traffic violation points on your drivers license can lead to your driving privileges being revoked. In addition to protecting your interests in criminal court, I will pursue the restoration of your drivers license in administrative hearings before the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Representing High School and College Students

If you or your child attending an area college such as University of Michigan, Eastern, Washtenaw Community College, or Cleary College or area high school including Belleville High School, Ypsilanti High School, Willow Run High School, Pioneer High, Huron High School, or Skyline High School has been charged with a misdemeanor such as fighting or making threats, I can help. I defend students in both the criminal proceeding as well as the disciplinary proceeding that often accompanies criminal charges, with an eye toward protecting their future.

Contact me for a free initial consultation regarding your misdemeanor case. I offer flexible scheduling, including evening, weekend and off-site appointments, and accept credit cards.
