Grand Rapids Defense Lawyer
Michigan Criminal Law Attorney

The Law Firm of Frank Stanley, PC, handles 20 to 50 cases a year, as opposed to the 200 that most criminal defense attorneys handle a year. This exclusivity is critical for two reasons:

Success takes time. Designing a strategy to defend against homicide and other violent crime charges, sex offenses, drug offenses, white collar crimes and other charges is not something that can be done in a couple of days, let alone a couple of hours. Successful defense against serious felonies takes time, and the firm is willing to take that time. That is why the firm has built such a strong record of success.
Communication is important. Communication is sometimes half the battle when representing clients accused of crimes. Clients need to know where they stand at all times so they can properly consider all options and make good decisions. You can count on attorney Frank Stanley and his experienced team to explain the process to you and remain in communication with you from the start of your case to the finish.

State and Federal Criminal Defense

The Law Firm of Frank Stanley, PC, defends against state and federal charges. The differences between state and federal criminal cases are not obvious. For example, many narcotics cases can be charged either by state or federal authorities. If the narcotics are bought and sold in the same state, the case is typically charged by the state. However, if narcotics are bought in one state and sold in another, this is considered a conspiracy and charged as a federal case.

In most cases, individuals who are arrested will know where their case will be prosecuted. If they are arrested by federal authorities and taken to a federal detention center, the likelihood is that the case will be in federal court. If they are arrested by a local police department and taken to a city or county jail, they will most likely be prosecuted by the state. In either case, it is important for the accused to exercise the right to remain silent.
