MICHIGAN ASSAULT LAWYERS
Facing an assault charge in Michigan is a very difficult thing for anybody to go through, whether it is a misdemeanor domestic violence, all the way up to a first degree murder charge. I know, as our firm has handled every type of assault case imaginable.
At Amberg & Amberg, for the past 30 years we have believed in our clients and fought for their freedom. We are criminal defense attorneys who specialize in fighting for the rights and freedom of the accused. Just because the police have made their accusations regarding your alleged assault, it does not mean that you are guilty. We understand that in every assault case, there is a side to the story that the police and prosecutor refuses to believe or understand.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
For many unfortunate Oakland County residents, unfair domestic violence charges happen all too often. The police are generally biased and will arrest for domestic violence based on hearsay and weak evidence. Then you are placed in a situation where you feel that you have to plead guilty, even though you are innocent of the domestic violence charges. Although there are some types of plea alternatives that will allow you to keep the domestic violence misdemeanor charge off of your record, the bottom line is that these cases are frequently won at trial.
FELONIOUS ASSAULT
Felony assaults are very common charges throughout Michigan, Oakland County, and the surrounding areas. If you are involved in an assaultive type felony charge such as Assault With The Intent To Murder or Felonious Assault, chances are you are looking at probable jail time and possible prison time. Having represented many people in this situation, this is devastating to yourself and your family. With your life on the line, you need to hire the right criminal lawyers who can get the job done. View our recent high profile assault cases which we’ve won throughout Michigan, including the Holbrook Police Officer Murder Case, the Vanderberg Resisting Arrest Police Assault Case, and the Hicks Assault With The Intent To Murder a Police Officer. Additionally, watch my emotional opening statement in this Assault with the Intent to Do Great Bodily Harm trial I recently handled in Oakland County Circuit Court:
MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT
Misdemeanor assault in Michigan is a crime which is charged all too often in cases where no assault took place. Feeling the pressure from prosecutors, detectives, and lackluster defense attorneys, you may find yourself unwittingly entering into a plea agreement. In many Oakland County District Courts, such as the 48th, 52-1, and 52-3 District Courts, you have a strong likelihood of jail in a misdemeanor assault case. This begs the question, why not fight the charge? At Amberg & Amberg, we treat a low level assault charge the exact same as a first degree murder charge. We believe in you and your case, and we want to win.
RESISTING ARREST
Police officers in Michigan have a job to do, and we understand that. However, the police sometimes let their rendition of what happened during an arrest get the best of them. Just ask our client Elaine Vanderberg, an elderly grandmother with no criminal history, who touched an officer’s arm and was maced in the face by the officer in response. To add insult to injury, the prosecutor charged Elaine with Resisting Arrest and Obstruction of Justice, a fifteen year felony!!! Needlesstosay, we were able to get the Circuit Court to dismiss the charges.
HOMICIDE
Murder is the most difficult and intense type of charge in Michigan. Although Michigan does not have the death penalty, a conviction of first degree murder could result in a mandatory life sentence without parole. Michigan Homicide cases are always complex and many times based on circumstantial evidence. Even if the evidence against the defendant is overwhelming, there is always another side to the story, as people don’t kill people for no reason. We have handled major homicide cases throughout Michigan and we understand what is at stake for yourself or a family member. We will fight for you, no matter what the police, prosecutor, or the press says about how guilty they think you are. If you want a specific example, look at our representation of Joni Holbrook, who shot her husband, a State Trooper, in response to years of horrific abuse.
