Prosecutors and judges make every possible effort not only to punish defendants convicted of theft crimes; they seek to make an example of them. Your best defense is with a Michigan theft crimes attorney who is fearless and will do whatever it takes to protect and defend you.

When your liberty, family, employment, and reputation are on the line, you need the best criminal defense possible. There is no room for error.

Felony charges are punishable by a maximum sentence of longer than a year in the Michigan Department of Corrections and up to 5 years probation.
