Criminal Defense

If you have been accused of a crime, you need an attorney who will carefully examine the facts and circumstances of your case, advise you of your options, advocate aggressively on your behalf, and work diligently to obtain a favorable outcome for your case.  The attorneys at Hunter & Sievert PLLC successfully represent clients who have been accused of a crime.  We pride ourselves on providing our clients with dedicated, personalized representation and unparalleled service.  Our competent attorneys have extensive experience in criminal defense matters, including:

• Drunk driving and DWI
• Assault
• Homicide
• Sex Crimes
• Drug Crimes

In Michigan, crimes have varying degrees of severity depending on a number of factors; the potential punishment will vary widely depending on what degree of a crime you are found to have committed.  Experienced legal representation will assist you in protecting your rights.  We carefully examine the facts of your case and determine if there was any police error or mistreatment, improper handling of evidence, or violation of your Constitutional rights that could be the basis for a reduced charge or dismissal of the charges against you.  Additionally, we analyze what happened in your case and advise you if accepting a plea bargain is in your best interest.  In these cases, we aggressively negotiate with the district attorney to minimize the potential punishment you may face.  If we determine that it is in your best interest to proceed to trial, our experienced attorneys have the knowledge, determination and advocacy skills to ensure a successful outcome at trial.

Being charged with a crime does not mean you will be convicted.  An experienced defense lawyer will challenge the prosecutor's case and may be able to have the charges reduced or dropped without having to accept a conviction. 

Family Law

At Hunter & Sievert, we understand that divorce and child custody disputes are among the most difficult and emotionally-charged legal issues many of our clients will face.  We have a thorough understanding of Michigan's statutes that address divorce and family law issues, as well as Michigan's Child Custody Act.  We represent clients in the following areas:

• Divorce
• Child Custody
• Child Support

Our attorneys understand that the decisions and orders rendered during a divorce proceeding have long-lasting emotional, financial, and legal affects on the parties involved.  We work tirelessly to aggressively protect your rights and interests, ensuring that the custody and parental time, spousal support, and child support arrangements are fair and that your rights are protected.  Additionally, we work to ensure that any property is divided fairly between you and your spouse.
