Michigan Lawyers Defending Out-of-State Residents

Representing Tourists, Students and Business Visitors to Michigan

Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and the West Michigan Lakeshore draw tourists and business visitors from across the state, throughout the country and around the world. Sometimes they encounter legal problems while in Michigan, and need a local Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Berrien County, Van Buren County, or Ottawa County criminal defense attorney.

The criminal defense lawyers of The Aggressive Criminal Defense Law Firm are here to help. We offer effective and affordable defense of criminal charges ranging from drunk driving (DUI, OWI, OWVI) to drug possession and serious felonies.

Convenient, Effective, Affordable

Depending on your specific circumstances, we may be able to arrange to have you appear at pretrial settlement conferences via teleconference, so that you do not need to make repeated trips back to Michigan for court appearances. For most traffic violations, we are able to appear on our client's behalf.

It is important to retain a lawyer who is familiar with Michigan law and legal procedures to defend you. Our attorneys are former prosecutors from throughout southwest Michigan. We regularly work on cases with local judges and prosecutors. Our out-of-state clients benefit from our local knowledge and experience.

Some of our out-of-state clients were arrested while in the state doing business with Amway, Pfizer, MPI Research or other Michigan businesses. Others are travelers who were stopped for speeding, and arrested for drug possession or drunk driving. We frequently represent out-of-state college students who are attending classes in Michigan. No matter how simple or serious the charges against you, we have the experience to help.

I want to offer my gratitude to you and your staff for your representation of my son. [Your clerk] was kind, considerate and responsive to our concerns and questions. We are, obviously, pleased with the outcome, crediting you with making the difference between dismissal and a conviction.

"Congrats to Shaun Willis in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His client was facing a felony warrant that had been issued four years ago and probation violations in Michigan. At the time she decided to turn herself in, in late 2005, she was living in Florida and that is when she was referred to our office. After discussing her personal situation with her Probation Officer and sharing the steps she had taken to turn her life around with the Judge that would be hearing her case, he arranged for her turn in. She was facing at least six months in jail, community service, and payment of fines. Mr. Willis was successful in his negotiations and the penalties were reduced to requiring payment of fines only! The probation violations were dismissed. The client was very pleased with the results." From Imhoff & Associates Newsletter
