Awards & Recognition
As a former Michigan police officer, Ben Hall knows law enforcement’s role is enforcing laws, maintaining public order, and managing public safety. This includes investigating, apprehending, and detaining individuals suspected of criminal offenses.
We also know that officers face immense pressure from their command, internal affairs, prosecutors, and the public, even when they do the right thing. It’s even worse when, in those small percentage of cases, their actions cross the line.
In today’s social climate, Michigan police officers are under intense scrutiny. They are being subjected to investigations, arrests, and severe charges for placing their lives on the line to protect the public. In the majority of the cases, the officers did nothing wrong.
This is why we are here.
Our skilled Michigan police officer defense attorneys represent law enforcement officials of all ranks who have been accused of:
In Michigan, 588 separate law enforcement agencies employ approximately 17,000 officers. At Ben Hall Law, it is our honor to represent any of the exceptional men and women who work tirelessly to protect our communities.

At Ben Hall Law, we are more than criminal defense lawyers in Michigan. We have worn many hats, including that of an officer, prosecutor, and Marine. We understand that facing criminal charges — whether you are a civilian, law enforcement, or public service member — is a significantly challenging moment in your life.
We want to help ensure it does not define your future.
If you are being investigated for a crime or have already been arrested and charged with a crime, you have the right to remain silent and contact an attorney. Invoke both rights immediately and contact our skilled East Lansing criminal defense attorneys for help.
Our Michigan defense lawyers have an intimate understanding of how the prosecutor’s office approaches criminal cases and know when they are willing to provide the best deal available for each of our client’s unique legal circumstances.
If the prosecutor’s office wants to play hardball, they will immediately recognize that our law firm builds each case as if it were going to go to trial — and win — from day one. With a former prosecutor on our defense team, we know the prosecutor’s office will have to expend considerable resources to counter our precise case preparation, legal insight, courtroom presence, and exacting representation to obtain a conviction. For most, it is not worth the fight.
We will always be ready for those who want to take their chances at trial against us.
“Mr. Hall was a huge help. Being a former police officer and a former prosecutor was evident in his knowledge of both traffic and criminal laws. Even when I was willing to accept an initial plea deal, he knew that there was so little evidence against me that we should counter the offer. I went from a potential criminal case to a fine and 0 points. I could not be happier with my outcome. Thank you Mr. Hall!”
Anonymous“I had an excellent experience with this law office. Ben Hall was able to handle my situation promptly and thoroughly, I was thankful we were able to avoided the hassle of going to court. I was looking for housing and if that isn’t an overwhelming task in itself, once I found a place that had vacancies they did not want to allow my support dog and the lady responsible for processing my application began sending me in circles and improperly handled the application process. It was to the point I didn’t think I was going to get housing when I contacted Ben Hall. He dove right in and explained to me the process and options and he guided me how to proceed and also contacted the housing development and let them know what their options were and how this was going to go if they continued to unjustly process my application… I received housing promptly with no further issues! So thankful for this option to pay such a minimal fee to have a lawyer in your corner and build a relationship with them. In a world were nothing is for sure it is a comfort to have such ease of access with this law office.”
Melinda“Ben was very generous with his time and expertise. He asked straightforward questions and offered excellent options to meet our objectives. Amazing turn around on short deadlines. We needed a legal opinion dealing with a conflict of interest on a local school board. WOW! Ben really understood the issues andbour concerns. He produced an amazing 8 page opinion in in a weeks time. And he worked with us on minimizing legal fees.”

Anonymous“Joseph was an angel when I needed it. I had a horrible court appointed lawyer and was getting no help. I contacted Joseph’s office about my case and he was out of the office. He took the time to personally call me back, unlike the other lawyers I contacted. He answered all my questions thoroughly and gave me all the information I needed and wanted. Without Joseph my nightmare would have been even worse than it was. I wouldn’t recommend any other lawyer. Joseph is the best.”
LadrinaAt Ben Hall Law, we know that facing the Michigan judicial system alone compromises your personal and professional future from the start of your case. While the prosecutor’s office may be overwhelmed with thousands of cases, they will not offer a plea for lesser charges or dismiss your case when they know they cannot win without being pressured by a skilled criminal defense lawyer.
Our East Lansing criminal defense attorneys give each client every tool in our arsenal to ensure we leave no detail to chance so that we can pursue the best outcome for their unique cases together.
To learn how we can put our expert legal resources to work for you, contact our trusted legal defense team in Michigan to discuss your case with trusted professionals who believe in you and your case by calling 877-236-4255 or contacting us online.
Your fight is our fight. Let’s get started.
If you are being investigated for a crime or have already been arrested and charged, do not speak with law enforcement or the prosecutor’s office without speaking with a skilled Michigan criminal defense attorney first. Do not allow investigators to tell you, “Innocent people do not need an attorney,” or, “If you cooperate with our investigation, the prosecutor will consider your statement for lesser charges.” Beyond confirming your identity, you do not have to say a word until you have spoken with an attorney. So, don’t. This alone will provide the best start to your case. Our dedicated East Lansing criminal defense attorneys will take it from there.
Our experienced criminal defense lawyers in East Lansing will only entertain a plea bargain from the prosecutor’s office if we are confident it is the best deal possible for our client’s unique case and criminal history (when applicable). As a former prosecutor, we know what the state will allow, based on the case details, and will not accept anything less. Otherwise, the prosecutor will have to take their chances against us inside the courtroom, where we will be ready to win.
The stages of a criminal case, such as arraignment, pre-trial hearings, negotiations, and trial, all contribute to the timeline. These factors are also heavily influenced by the type of offense, the individual’s criminal history, evidence and witness availability, additional legal motions, and the court’s calendar. At Ben Hall Law, no matter how long the case takes, we will inform our criminal defense clients of their case’s timeline as we diligently prepare to pursue the best outcome.
Like the length of a criminal case, the costs associated with its defense vary. Similarly, the costs will reflect the severity of the charges, criminal history, and the overall defense strategy necessary to pursue the best outcome. Before you partner with a Michigan criminal defense attorney, it is crucial to understand how their legal fees are structured and what type of payment options are available for your unique case. While we never recommend going with the cheapest attorney — lest you get what you pay for — we advise all potential clients to do their research and ensure all legal fees and potential costs associated with their defense are transparent from the start.
At Ben Hall Law, our office comprises experienced criminal defense attorneys and support staff who will work in concert to ensure your defense strategy is the best available. While multiple sharp minds will be working on your case, you will be represented by one of our skilled defense lawyers who will partner with you from the start of your case through its completion and who will be here for you — should you ever need us — long after your case is over.
