Criminal Defense

Facing criminal charges, or a criminal investigation, is never an easy process. Our attorneys will aggressively and powerfully defend and protect your interests in any criminal proceeding. From traffic tickets to misdemeanors to major felonies, our firm will provide you with the quality representation that you deserve. We have successfully represented many clients in all district and circuit courts in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties

At the Law Office of Edward A. Bajoka, our criminal defense attorneys are dedicated to aggressive and powerful representation of clients accused of crimes, whether misdemeanor or felony, in state or federal court. We spend the time necessary to discover all available defenses, including visiting the alleged scene of the crime, extensively interviewing potential witnesses and using the court's subpoena power to compel discovery of crucial evidence. We routinely argue for and win reduction in bond motions, which can mean greater pre-trial freedom for our clients at a reduced cost.

We understand that a good criminal defense attorney is often the only sentinel standing watch over a client's constitutional rights and we zealously advocate for the enforcement of those rights. We will never enter into a plea bargain simply to avoid trial. Plea negotiations will be explored in depth and accepted only if clients believe it is in their best interest to enter into the plea bargain. We file the necessary pre-trial motions, insist on running the preliminary exam and prepare our defense with an eye for trial. We never relieve the prosecution of its burden of going forward at any stage of the proceeding.

We represent clients in state and federal courts for all misdemeanor and felony criminal charges, such as:

Drunk Driving
Traffic Offenses
Domestic Violence
Assault and Battery
Drug Offenses
Weapon Offenses
Breaking & Entering
Sex Offenses
Internet Offenses
Robberies
Embezzlement
Probation Violations
Expungment of Records
All other Felony and Misdemeanor Offenses

Minimizing the Impact of a Criminal Conviction at Sentencing

At the sentencing phase, we ensure that our clients are adequately prepared for their pre-sentence interview, that the reports are accurate and that the sentence guidelines in a felony case are scored accurately. We often write pre-sentence memos on a client's behalf to request downward departures (sentences reduced below guideline minimums), or argue a statutory or constitutional point. If you have been arrested or charged in Michigan, our criminal defense attorneys are here to serve you.
