If you have been arrested for a state or federal crime, particularly one of a serious nature, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible. The attorneys at Marc Lakin Law have an excellent sense of what you should and should not say to law enforcement to avoid being misinterpreted.

Juvenile Offenses

Young people are much more likely to commit a crime than an adult. If you are the parent of a minor who has been charged with a crime, you should seek the professional help of the attorneys at Marc Lakin Law.

No matter what charges your child faces, you need the experienced, compassionate attorneys at Marc Lakin Law to help reduce the damage. Call our Michigan office today for a free consultation!
