Aggressive, Client-Centered Criminal Defense Representation

Being charged with a crime is one of the most traumatic events a person can experience. Once it happens, your entire life takes a back seat to the legal system as you are reduced to an arrest report by the police, a charging document by the prosecutor, and a case number by the judges.

You may think you can just go in and explain the situation rationally but trying to do this always makes things worse for you. The system is simply not set up to see you and treat you like a human being. That is why it is imperative to secure competent, aggressive representation as early in the process as you can so you can at least have some semblance of peace of mind about the process.

Michael Stuzynski has gone to trial over 150 times and has won numerous victories for clients facing serious charges, including:

  • Not guilty on felony burglary;
  • Not guilty on 1st degree assault;
  • Not guilty on aggravated motor vehicle theft;
  • Not guilty on 2nd degree assault domestic violence;
  • Not guilty on 2nd degree assault on a police officer;
