The federal crimes process with an Arab lawyer
Our Arabic-speaking federal crimes attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Grand Rapids.
1
Target Letter / Investigation Response
If you receive a target letter or learn you are under federal investigation, contact a federal defense attorney immediately. Pre-indictment intervention can sometimes prevent charges.
2
Grand Jury & Indictment Defense
Federal cases require grand jury indictment. While grand juries almost always indict, your attorney can present exculpatory evidence and challenge the government's case before trial.
3
Discovery & Pre-Trial Motions
Review voluminous federal discovery — wiretaps, financial records, informant reports. File critical pre-trial motions to suppress evidence, challenge informant reliability, or argue entrapment.
4
Plea Negotiation or Trial
Federal trial conviction rates exceed 90%. If the evidence is strong, a carefully negotiated plea with cooperation or safety valve provisions can achieve below-guidelines sentencing. If the case has real defenses, trial may be the best option.

Client review
“Got pulled over after a wedding. Failed the breathalyzer. I was sure my life was over. My lawyer got the charge reduced to impaired driving, no jail time, kept my record clean enough to keep my CDL. He saved my livelihood.”

Client review
“My wife and I had an argument. Neighbors called police. I got arrested and charged even though I never touched her. She told the police that at the scene but they arrested me anyway. My lawyer got the charges dismissed in three weeks. He also helped me understand my rights if something like that happens again.”

Client review
“University of Michigan campus police found pills in my car during a routine traffic stop. Felony charge that could have ended my engineering career before it started. My attorney got it reduced to a misdemeanor through a plea agreement and I completed a diversion program. Record expunged last spring.”
