Revoked Michigan Driver’s License Need Lawyer Been Before Driver’s License Appeals Board 3 Times Alone And Keep Getting Denied My License!

March 25th, 2010 1 comment

I need an attorney to get my Michigan driver’s license back because I have been before the Secretary of State Driver’s License Appeal Board 3 TIMES! and they keep denying me a driver’s license.  I had 2 durnk drivings, and operating impaired in 2004 from Macomb Michigan and a full blown drunk driving owi from Roscommon County in Higgins Lake in 2005 where I did a few days in jail.  I did my probation for both courts and have been eligible to get my drivers license back because its suspended and have tried 3 times at the DAAD board and they wont give it back its frustrating.  I have not been in any trouble at all and I havent drank a drop I have been to AA counseling  and they keep telling me no.  he last guy I went in front of was a real poiece of work and laid into me about stupid stuff that didnt even make sense to me.  Its like the more I get denied the harder it is for the DAAD board at secetary of state to give  me my license. I have been reading about the driver s license restoration posts on this website and how your Michigan drivers license attorneys are the best seem to always get people thieir license back.  Is it just that the state of Michigan wont restore your drivers license without an attorney they know or am I doing something wrong?  I am sure i wasnt perfect like i would have been if you gys were my drivers license lawyers but I dodnt say anything stupid and like I said i havent drank in a long time and I finished probation perfectly no problems at all paid all fines did classes everything.  I have to get my license back and if I need a drivers license lawyer who knows how to get the staate of Michigan to give me my drivers license than I will hire an attorney who knows what they are doing it just seems like I do everything they ask and they keep deny me license every time. I cannot wait for my license any longer and I cannot be denied any more Im sick of it.

Michigan Attorney For Domestic Violence Charge In Michigan – What Are Penalties? Jail? Need Help.

March 22nd, 2010 1 comment

THIS IS A QUESTION WE RECEIVED IN AN E-MAIL AT CTZ LAW THAT IS IS WORTHY OF RE-POSTING HERE:

Received 3/22/10:

I need a Michigan domestic violence attorney for a charge in Warren Michigan. I have never been in trouble with the law in my life and I have just been charged with domestic violence and have a court date in Warren, Michigan at the 37th District Court.

The short version of the story is that my wife and I have had a lot of financial problems after losing my job a year and a half ago, we are losing our house and think we may need to file bankruptcy, we have talked about divorce, we have 2 kids ages 8 and 11 and we have been fighting a lot lately.  Recently we were arguing my wife said some really hurtful things and some pushing and shoving went back and forth between us.  The police were called and I was arrested.  Now I am writing this from my parent’s house because the judge would not let me go back home or have any contact with my wife at all!  I have no idea how long this will last but apparently if I even call her on the phone I will go to jail.

My mother in law called me and said my wife is sorry and called the Warren police to drop the domestic violence charges against me but they said they couldnt drop the case now that the prosecutor was involved and my wife will be notified when they need her in court to testify against me!  The way the judge was talking to me the day after I was arrested I felt like I might be going to jail for this and I have never been in trouble in my life!

Do I need to hire a Michigan domestic violence attorney, or should I just stick with a court appointed attorney because of our financial stuation?  I really do not have a money right now to deal with this.  I have called my court appointed lawyer 3 times since he was appointed to me and he wont even call me back – I almost feel like just handling the case myself rather than having this idiot  handle this case.  What is this no contact requirement ordered by the judge? Why wont they listen to my wife and drop these charges?  What are the penalties for domestic violence and what can I expect?  AM I going to jail?  Also, I am a hunter and the police took my shotgun and my .30/06 for deer hunting that I got from my grandfather, will I ever get these back? 

I feel like that I am already being treated like I am guilty of domestic violence and I haven’t even had a trial.  I need a domestic violence attorney in Michigan to help protect me from what I feel is unfair prosecution.  I seriously want to sue the police for harassment.  I am not a wife beater – we just had a fight like any other couple has in our situation, times are tough, and now I am facing domestic violence charges.

From: NOT a Wife Beater

CTZ LAW RESPONSE:

No, your spouse cannot “drop” the Domestic Violence charges against you in Michigan, and yes, you unquestionably need a Michigan criminal defense attorney from CTZ Law to represent you in your Domestic Violence case in Warren, Michigan’s 37th Judicial District Court. 

The link below is from another blog post on this website that addresses Domestic Violence cases in Michigan and why these charges cannot be dropped by the alleged victim/complaining witness:

 http://alllegalmatters.com/blog/general/michigan-attorney-for-domestic-violence-charge-need-advice-want-to-drop-domestic-violence-charges-against-my-boyfriend/

If you are charged with any form of Domestic Violence in Michigan (or when you are charged with any crime for that matter), no matter whether it is in a big city like Detroit, Warren or Lansing, or a small town like Port Huron, Big Rapids, or Roscommon, you are a fool if you do not hire the best criminal defense attorney you can possibly afford.  Many of our clients who have been through the Michigan criminal justice system without a qualified criminal defense attorney has learned this fact the hard way.   

When facing the possibility of jail, probation, thousands of dollars in fines, probation, up to 36 weeks or more of anger management counseling (that you have to pay for also), the fact that you may never be able to own or possess a firearm again, and you will be labeled as a “criminal” for the rest of your life with a conviction on your record for a “violent” criminal offense – you better not rely on some court appointed lawyer to handle your case unless you have absolutely no other alternative.   If you are going through or about to go through a divorce in Michigan and are charged with domestic violence, this is also very important because many times your “soon to be ex” spouse will try to use such a conviction against you and limit your parenting time and your ability to see your own children.

We always encourage our clients to use their emergency credit cards, borrow from friends and family, take out a loan, or do whatever else is necessary to retain one of the Michigan Domestic Violence attorneys at CTZ Law to vigorously and aggressively defend against these charges because the consequences are so severe. 

Domestic Violence (or “DV” as it is commonly referred to by prosecutors and defense attorneys in Michigan) is one of the most commonly prosecuted crimes throughout the State of Michigan and carries with it some very serious consequences.  Domestic Violence is merely an “assault and/or battery” that has been given a special label by the Michigan legislature when the incident occurs between current or former spouses, siblings, someone who you are (or were) dating, someone you have a child with, or a resident of your house.   Domestic Violence results from a variety of situations and may result from an argument where you throw an object, like a TV remote, at someone during an argument (even if they are not hit or injured), or where you actually grab the other person by the arm or shove them without serious injury, or where the argument escalates and some physical altercation resulting in actual harm occurs. 

However, contrary to the general public notion that Domestic Violence always results from a husband beating their wife to the point of serious injury, many of the Domestic Violence cases in Michigan that CTZ Law have encountered do not result in very serious injuries to the alleged victim, and many times no injury whatsoever occurs.   In our experience, what happens quite often is that a husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, etc. are fighting, the argument gets heated, and then someone calls the police Many times the person that calls the police is not even the alleged victim, but rather a neighbor or someone who hears the argument, and afterwards someone is arrested and their life is changed for the worse because the police and the prosecutor are not involved in an argument that should have stayed behind closed doors. 

THE CRIME OF “DOMESTIC VIOLENCE” IN MICHIGAN; PENALTIES AND WHY YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY FROM CTZ LAW

The charge of Domestic Violence is a misdemeanor crime under Michigan state law, specifically MCL 750.81, which states, in relevant part:

an individual who assaults or assaults and batters his or her spouse or former spouse, an individual with whom he or she has or has had a dating relationship, an individual with whom he or she has had a child in common, or a resident or former resident of his or her household, is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00 or both.

Second offenders under Michigan’s Domestic Violence law are subject to enhanced penalties as well.  An individual who has a prior conviction for a Domestic Violence in Michigan and is convicted a second time for Domestic Violence faces increased penalties of up to one (1) year in jail, or a fine of not more than $1,000.00, or both.  An individual with two (2) prior convictions of Domestic Violence in Michigan who is convicted for a third time faces a possible penalty of two (2) years imprisonment in the Michigan Department of Corrections (“MDOC” . . .meaning possible prison time) or a fine of not more than $2,500.00, or both.

Under Michigan’s Domestic Violence law there are also separate criminal charges for “Aggravated Domestic Assault,” MCL 750.81a, which provides for more severe penalties for defendants convicted of Domestic Violence where the assault and battery causes a serious or aggravated injury upon the alleged victim.  Under the Aggravated Domestic Violence statute in Michigan, the possible penalties increase to up to one (1) year in jail, or a fine of not more than $1,000.00, or both, for first time offenders, and for second time offenders the penalties further increase to up to two (2) years MDOC (prison) or a fine of $2,500.00, or both.

In addition to the above penalties, any  Domestic Violence conviction in Michigan also carries some strict probationary terms that can last for up to two (2) years or longer depending on the crime charged, with quite burdensome requirements as intensive anger management counseling programs for up to 36 consecutive weeks (or more), random drug and alcohol testing, reporting probation, no possession of any weapons or firearms of any sort (including for hunting or recreation, not just handguns for self defense), community service, and various other probationary terms.  If you are convicted of Domestic Violence in Michigan you also will never be able to own a firearm again. Period.

Also, regarding your question about the court’s bond condition in Warren, after someone is arrested for Domestic Violence anywhere in Michigan, the magistrate or judge automatically imposes a “no contact” order as a condition of that person’s bond, which means that you are not allowed to call, visit, text, IM, mail, e-mail or even send a message or communicate through a third party with your spouse, your significant other, etc. until the court orders otherwise.  Usually this no contact order can only be changed or modified with the consent of the prosecutor, the complaining witness/victim, and the judge.   This may mean that you cannot speak to your wife for several months, or longer if the order continues as part of the court’s sentence if you are convicted of Domestic Violence.

 If you are charged with Domestic Violence anywhere in Michigan you need the talent and experience of one of the Domestic Violence defense attorneys from CTZ Law to protect your rights and fight for a dismissal of your case to keep a Domestic Violence conviction off your record.  In your situation, when the complaining witness seems uncooperative and unwilling to pursue the charges, our attorneys have a very high success rate of having these cases dismissed at trial. 

However, even when the complaining witness is being uncooperative and pressing the issue, and it seems like there is no way to beat your case at trial, the attorneys at CTZ Law have an solution to keep this charge off your record.   Those who plea guilty to Domestic Violence as a first time offender in Michigan are eligible to have the case taken “under advisement” under Michigan law, MCL 769.4a if the attorneys at CTZ Law can convince the prosecutor and the judge to agree to this disposition.  The deferral plea allows the defendant to be placed on a term of probation (generally about one year), usually conditioned on attendance and completion of an anger management program authorized by the Court.  Upon successful completion of all the terms and conditions of the probation, the person is discharged from probation and the case is dismissed by the Court and you will have no criminal record, and the conviction is maintained as a non-public record.   There is no need for an “expungement” or a motion to set aside conviction to be filed with the Court, the dismissal and expungement of your record is automatic.  Additionally, while you are on probation no conviction for Domestic Violence will be placed on your record.  However, under Michigan law a defendant may only have one discharge and dismissal of their Domestic Violence charge under this section on their first offense, so this does not apply to second or subsequent offenders charged with Domestic Violence.

At CTZ Law we have defended thousands of Domestic Violence cases throughout the State of Michigan.  We are well aware of the serious impact a Domestic Violence case has on your life, and we vigorously defend our clients in these cases and fight for a dismissal.  Unlike other attorneys, our goal is to have your Domestic Violence charge dismissed completely, and we do not “plea bargain” unless there is no other alternative.  Contact our Michigan Domestic Violence defense attorneys at (586) 285-1700 today for your free consultation!

Michigan Bankruptcy Attorney Question – Will I Lose My 401K or My House In Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

March 17th, 2010 1 comment

Hi!

I live in Roseville Michigan and I have been struggling ever since I lost my husband last year and I may need a Michigan bankruptcy attorney to help with my debt and file chapter 7 bankruptcy for me before I can’t afford my house anymore but I am concerned.  Like everyone I guess I have a lot of credit card debt ($18,000 total) , some medical bills ($2,800) , and other miscellaneous debt but I am current on my house.  I make $29,000.00 a year and have about $22,000 in my 401K.  First, will this debt be all discharged if I file.  Second, will I lose my 401 k money or my house.  I don’t want to lose my house if I file bankruptcy.  I owe $120,000 approximately but I bet in this market it’s only worth about $140,000.00 max (the house across the street sold for like $139,000 last year and it’s like mine).  Will the bank take my house if I file bankruptcy?  Also, one of my credit cards went to collection already, can they garnishee my wages soon?  I need an affordable solution to my problem even if it’s bankruptcy.

I’m sorry I have so many questions but I am scared and don’t know what to do.  I appreciate whatever advice you can give.

Attorneys for Michigan’s New “Super Drunk” Driving OWI DUI Laws To Take Effect October 31, 2010

March 17th, 2010 3 comments

CTZ Law has received several e-mails about Michigan’s new drunk driving OWI legislation that has been recently signed into law, so we will attempt to address SOME of the main issues with these new laws.

Everyone in Michigan knows that if you are charged with any type of drunk driving /OWI /DUI offense, you better hire a good criminal defense attorney who knows the driver’s license laws in Michigan (drunk driving in Michigan is referred to by courts, police and attorneys as “OWI” being an acronym for “Operating While Intoxicated,” which is the same thing as “DUI” as many people commonly call it).

Well, this sound advice is about to have even more weight added to the scales of justice with the newest set of drunk driving / OWI / DUI laws in Michigan.  Michigan has continued its trend of increasing the penalties for drunk driving or OWI offenses in January 2009, when Governor Jennifer Granholm signed into law what many care referring to as Michigan’s “super drunk” driving law, which is set to take effect on October 31 2010.

Michigan’s new “super drunk” OWI driving law imposes harsher penalties on this accused of drunk driving OWI first offense with a bodily alcohol content (BAC) of 0.17 or more grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of urine (the new law only applies to 1st offense drunk driving cases).   The most significant increased penalties under Michigan’s new “super drunk” driving law are the potential for increased jail time from 93 days in jail, which has traditionally been the maximum penalty for an dunk driving OWI 1st offense, to 180 days in jail (6 months)  for those convicted of a “super drunk” driving OWI first offense.

Additionally, upon conviction of a “super drunk” driving OWI, the Michigan Secretary of State

will suspend your Michigan driver’s license for one (1) full year, with the first 45 days as a “hard” suspension with no driving privileges whatsoever, and the following 320 days with a restricted driver’s license CONDITIONAL upon the convicted “super drunk” driver having an ignition interlock device (an alcohol breathalyzer essentially) installed on the person’s vehicle.   The way a typical ignition interlock breathalyzer dvice works is before you can stat your vehicle you have to blow into the breathalyzer attached to the ignition of your vehicle, and then you have to periodically blow into the breathalyzer while you are driving as well (which prevents someone from having a non-drinker blow into the ignition interlock breathalyzer just so they can start their car and drive).  If you blow above the minimum level allowed of 0.025 BAC, your car will not operate.  Oh and yes, you will also have to pay to have this ignition interlock device installed in you vehicle which is very expensive.

The increased driver’s license sanctions and suspensions under the new “super drunk” driving OWI law represents a significant increase from a standard drunk driving OWI 1st offense which carried a six (6) month driver’s license suspension, with the first 30 days as a “hard” suspension and an automatic 5 month restricted license thereafter with NO ignition interlock requirement.  The new “super drunk” driving OWI law in Michigan also provides an additional penalty for any Michigan driver who attempts to operate their vehicle with an ignition interlock in place by increasing the driver’s license suspension penalty for any violation.  Specifically, if a convicted “super drunk” driver in Michigan attempts to operate their vehicle with an ignition interlock after blowing a BAC of 0.025 or more into the vehicle’s built in breathalyzer machine, (in addition to being a certain violation of any probation with the court with likely jail) the Michigan Secretary of State will automatically impose another 45 day “hard” suspension on your driver’s license, and 320 day restricted driver’s license, once again, conditioned on having an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. 

So, what does this new drunk driving legislation mean to Michigan drivers and attorneys?  More possible jail time, more driver’s license suspension sanctions, and more fines costs and other fees for defendant drivers if they are convicted – and an increased need to have one of the drunk driving OWI attorneys at CTZ Law protect your rights and defend against these Gestapo like drunk driving OWI laws in Michigan. 

With the creation of this new “super drunk” driving legislation in Michigan, prosecutors and courts will most assuredly have a new set of policies and plea bargain restrictions, as well as sentencing tendencies, which could mean jail time and a loss of your full Michigan driver’s license for a year unless you have a dunk driving lawyer who knows the law and the defenses to drunk driving cases.  Fortunately the Michigan drunk driving OWI attorneys at CTZ Law are already preparing for this new law change and developing new defenses and strategies to combat these harsh new “super drunk” driving laws in order to protect your rights.  Fear not, for our law firm will continue its leadership role in the battle against police and prosecutors under these new drunk driving laws.

Michigan Attorney for MIP 13 years ago violation of probation from Judge Asadoorian Rochester Hills, Michigan 52-3District Court

March 15th, 2010 2 comments

So hi there all.. looking for advice, or possibly opinions on my case

 I am a 30 year old woman who is originally from Michigan, when I was 17 I got a number of tickets, and being young and dumb, I didnt take care of them. I moved to Phoenix Arizona and then on to minnesota for a few years. Two years ago I moved back to Michigan to take care of my old charges amoung other things. I had some traffic tickets, and two minor in possession (MIP) of alcohol tickets and one minor in posession of tobacco. (The cigarette and one alcohol ticket I got at the same time. )

Anyways I turned myself in and paid a bunch of fines, did a weekend of WAMM for the cigarette ticket, and got a year of non-reporting probation and fines for the alcohol ticket. These were both from the same judge.

My other alcohol ticket was heard by Judge Asadorian, she reamed me for letting them go for so long, understandable, but I did live accross country, I had a child, job, ect.. I couldnt just leave at any time to come here and deal with them. Anyways she gave me a year of probation, 250 hours of community service,  fines and ordered me to have my driver’s license back in two months, I had 800$ of tickets here, I also have 1200$ tickets in Phoenix, from one incident of being pulled over, non-dui, and 700$ in tickets from Minnesota from two seperate events, again no-dUi.

I paid all of michigans back, and I fell on bad times financially, I have no license, I had no way to get to community service, beside a boyfriend who took me sometimes, I completed 67 hours, then when we broke up, I was back to no transportation. I got  a violation, but heres the bad luck part, my mail was going to my dads house, and they are very unorganized there, they have three kids, who sometimes get the mail, whatever happened to it, I dont know, but I had no idea i had a violation hearing until I contacted my probation officer after not hearing from her for three months, and she told me I have a warrant now, with a 500$ bond.

I am in college currently, ( I ride share) am in custody battles with my kids father, who kidnapped her last year, which is the reason really I didnt do much, I was very depressed, and stressed, but now things are better, I have a cash job as a nanny for the girl I live with who is disabled, and I finally saved up 500$ to pay the bond. I am ready to turn myself in for the warrant, but I am SO scared that Asadorian will throw me in jail.

If that happens, I will lose my job, I will fail school, not to mention possibly my opprotunity to get financial aid in the future, and because I have an upcoming court date for my custody case, I may lose my daughter as well. I have no friends or family with money to help me. I only have my father as far as family goes, my mother killed herself years back after being on heroin my whole life…  I am very poor, and and its very hard to get enough money to be able to pay off my out of state tickets, buy a car and be able to get around to places to do community service.

I do not know what to expect. Do you think she will throw me in jail for this, as in giving me a contempt ? Do you think I could ask to just do the community service I didnt finish as jail time, say a week or so? I could manage that, but I couldnt do 30, 60, or 90 days, it would ruin my life, all over a ticket I got 13 years ago!!

Does anyone have some advice or input? I know I havent been the most repsonsible person, I am trying though, Ive had a tough life and have never gotten any other criminal charges anywhere.. the only reason I have so many tickets is because Ive gotten pulled over 4 times as an adult, and have been suspended since 17 years old.

please help if anyone knows what this judge is like. I would appreciate it.

Michigan Lawyer Question: Does Offer to Engage Solicitation of Prostitute Charge in Detroit Have Mandatory Jail Time???

March 11th, 2010 5 comments

I have a question for one of your Michigan criminal defense attorneys at the law firm CTZ Law who knows about prostitution charges in Detroit.  A friend of mine (no I’m serious this is not for me) was charged with an “Offer to Engage” charge in Detroit Michigan for solicitation of a prostitute for sex and the vice cop told him he better hire a lawyer because it has mandatory jail time…is this true?  How can that be possible with all the crazy stuff gong n in Detroit?  Are they really going to put him in jail for trying to pick up a prostitute who was an undercover Detroit cop?  Seems crazy to me.

Michigan Medical Marijuana/Marihuana Act Rules and Regulations : Michigan Defense Attorney Charged For Possession Marijuana and Have Medical Marijuana Card

March 9th, 2010 3 comments

I have my Michigan medical marijuana card and was charged with Possession of Marijuana in Troy Michigan by Troy cops who obviously don’t know the law or dont care.  I am a legal marijuana user for legitimate medical reasons and these narrow minded morons think I am some sort of criminal, and apparently dont care that Michigan voters gave me a legal right to use and possess marijuana.  I want to know how they can even charge me with possession of marijuana in Michigan when I have my medical maijuana card and am legally allowed to possess and use marijuana.  Have your Michigan defense attorneys encountered this problem frequently and can you help get these so-called ”drug” charged dumped?

I am not poor and will gladly pay for quality representation to embarass these conservative extremeists in court!!!!

I just wanted to say thanks so much to CTZ Law and all their attorneys especially Paul Zalewski for working so hard on my felony case in Roscommon County Michigan after I was charged with felony fleeing & eluding a cop by trying to run from a Roscommon County sheriff deputy when I was drunk driving.  It was my 2nd offense  for OWI DUI drunk driving 2nd offense and I was scared made a stupid mistake and it almost cost me my job my freedom and my wife.  I thought I was going to prison for sure.   Thank God my wife knew you guys.  Not only did these attorneys save me from prison in Roscommon County Michigan, but my felony charges were dismissed to misdemeanors.  I couldnt be more happy and neither could my wife.  Your law firm has the best lawyers in Michigan and handled my “up north” beautifully.  I live down state in Macomb Township Michigan and these laywers worked it out so I only had to go to court one time for EVERYTHING instead of several 3 hour drives up north to Higgins Lake for court.   No felony, and no probation even.  I have no idea how they did it, but I really don’t care.  I guess connections and good representation is everything.  My first lawyer for my dui SUCKED and charged me the same as these guys did for this felony case.  Glad my wife sent me to your firm.

Thank you CTZ Law and your up north Michigan attorneys for lawyering me out of prison and out of my felony charges!
