Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan
how should you handle an MIP charge should you just plead guilty do you need a lawyer
2 Answers from Attorneys
It is best to have an attorney involved when you are charged with a crime.
Do not just plead guilty as you have options. There are many benefits of having an attorney represent you on an MIP charge. An attorney can evaluate the facts of the case, the applicable laws and try to find constitutional issues that may be challenged in court to have the evidence against you suppressed or dismissed. An attorney can also help mitigate the punishment that may ensue as result of a MIP conviction, such as having a criminal record. Further, an attorney will know how to plea bargain with a Prosecutor for reduced charges or how to go about getting you on a diversion program, if convicted.
I hope this answers your question. If you require additional information, please feel free to contact Attorney Daniel Hajji at 248.865.4700 or visit us at www.hajjilaw.com.
