Criminal Defense

Aggressive Representation in Detroit & Wayne County

Don't face the criminal justice system alone. We fight to protect your rights, your record, and your freedom.

Why You Need a Defense Attorney

The prosecutor's job is to secure a conviction. Your attorney's job is to ensure your constitutional rights are protected. Small mistakes early in a case — like speaking to police without representation — can be devastating.

Attorney Kenneth Demers provides strategic, steadfast defense representation across Wayne County district and circuit courts. We aggressively challenge evidence, negotiate from a position of strength, and aren't afraid to take cases to trial.

Common Questions

Criminal Defense FAQ — Michigan

Should I answer police questions without an attorney?

No. You have the constitutional right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Invoking these rights cannot be used against you in court. Always ask to speak with your lawyer before answering any questions.

What happens during an arraignment?

An arraignment is your first court appearance. The judge will formally read the charges against you, ask for your plea (always plead 'not guilty' at this stage), and set your bond or bail conditions.

Can my criminal record be expunged?

Michigan's Clean Slate laws allow many non-violent convictions to be expunged (removed from public view) after a waiting period (usually 3 to 7 years). Exceptions apply for certain traffic offenses and serious violent crimes.
