Awards & Recognition

At Ben Hall Law, our East Lansing criminal defense lawyers know that being arrested for a crime you did not commit can be an overwhelming experience. While your first thought may be that your innocence will set you free, the reality is that it may not actually be true.

One of the cardinal principles of the justice system — that you are presumed innocent until proven guilty — can be compromised in the court of public opinion. This is especially true when someone is accused of a sex crime or domestic violence. Once the accusation is made, whether it is true or not, its negative impact remains.

For this reason and others — like getting lumped into a group of people who may have committed a crime because of your association with them, or having someone point the finger at you for a crime they committed — it is vital to contact a skilled Michigan defense attorney immediately upon your arrest.

Criminal Defense Law

Innocent People are Falsely Accused of Crimes Every Day in Michigan

If someone is falsely accused of a crime, the police typically assume the person making the accusation is telling the truth and arrest the alleged perpetrator.

If the person is innocent, they may wrongly assume they do not need an attorney because they haven’t done anything wrong. In fact, the investigators will assure them that if they have nothing to hide, “innocent people don’t need attorneys.”

Nothing could be further from the truth.

According to the Innocence Project, a conservative estimate of approximately 20,000 people, or one percent of the U.S. prison population, were convicted of a crime they did not commit.

Partnering with our Ingham County criminal defense attorneys, who have worked on the streets and the other side of the courtroom and have a deep understanding of criminal law, procedures, and the legal system, will allow you to fully understand the severity of the charges against you and ensure your rights are protected.

We will conduct thorough investigations to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and examine the prosecution’s case to uncover any inconsistencies or weaknesses in the case and have the charges dismissed based on the facts of your innocence.

“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!”

“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.”
