Felony and Misdemeanor Charges in Michigan
In Michigan, a person can be charged with a felony or misdemeanor. Michigan does not use a “class” system for criminal charges. A misdemeanor is punishable by 1 year or less in jail and 2 years on probation. Typically, misdemeanors are divided into 93-day offenses and 1-year offenses. Felony charges are more serious than misdemeanors, at least relative to the punishments a judge might impose. A felony can result in a prison sentence; some offenses carry maximum sentences of a term of years, and other felony convictions can result in life prison sentences. State law criminal charges are prosecuted in various district and circuit courts throughout Michigan.
Federal felony and misdemeanor charges are charged in the United States District Courts. Although our office is geographically closest to the United States District Courts covering the Eastern District of Michigan, we routinely handle cases throughout the state and, in some cases, other states within the United States. Federal crimes are prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys who are typically highly skilled in court and knowledgeable in the law. Building a successful defense in federal court takes tremendous skill, tenacity, and experience. The defense attorneys with LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C. have an unparalleled track record of success in providing the highest possible level of representation in both federal and state courts.
