Representing Clients in Grand Rapids & Paw Paw, MI
A conviction for a violent crime such as domestic violence or assault and battery can change your life forever. From the initial fines and jail or prison time to the lifelong consequences of having a criminal record, your conviction can haunt you wherever you go. To protect your rights and reputation from the harsh consequences of a conviction, it is crucial to have the right attorney.
At Willis Law, we do everything in our power to minimize the consequences of violent crimes charges for our clients throughout Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Berrien County. Our clients include professionals, students, tourists and others who have found themselves in a bad situation facing harsh criminal punishments.
Begin Forming Your Defense Strategy
We defend against a broad range of violent criminal charges, including:
- Assault and battery
- Stalking
- Aggravated assault
- Domestic violence
- Rape
- Aggravated battery
- Battery on elderly
- Battery on law enforcement
- Criminal sexual conduct
We know that there are always two sides to a story, so we begin every case we handle by performing our own thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding the charges. We talk to the alleged victim and witnesses to learn more about what happened and form a strategy based on the unique needs and goals of our clients.
We are often able to have violent crimes charges dismissed or reduced to misdemeanor assault based on evidence we uncover during our investigations. This can make a huge difference, saving our clients from a felony conviction and lengthy prison sentence.
