FAQs
What should I do if I am arrested in Michigan?
If you are arrested, remain calm and remember that you have the right to remain silent and the right to speak with an attorney. Avoid discussing your case with law enforcement or others until you have received legal guidance.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
A misdemeanor is generally a less serious offense that may carry penalties such as fines, probation, or up to one year in jail. A felony is a more serious crime that can result in longer prison sentences and additional long-term consequences.
Will a criminal charge stay on my record permanently?
