Are you facing an indictment? If the grand jury has filed an indictment regarding your case, it is important to seek the guidance of our qualified criminal defense attorneys in Michigan. An indictment is a written, formal accusation of a crime that is presented in court for prosecution against the individual that is being accused of the crime. Once an indictment has been filed by the grand jury, it is important to have a skilled lawyer on your side.

Has an indictment been filed in Michigan against you or a loved one? This is a vital time to seek the guidance of our attorneys. Contact our Michigan Criminal Defense Attorneys today!

Once an indictment is filed, the following steps are taken:

  • The accused person is apprehended
  • The person is arrested if they weren't before
  • The defendant is detained until he or she meets further proceedings
  • The initial hearing takes place
  • The prosecutor decides whether or not enough evidence is there to file charges with trial courts

When someone is the focus of investigation, it is important that they contact an attorney that is experienced with criminal defense and helping those that have had indictments filed against them. Contact our criminal defense attorneys before charges are filed against you or someone that you care about!

One type of indictment is known as a sealed indictment. When an indictment is sealed, it is not accessible by the public. A sealed indictment will become public again once it is unsealed. This can happen for a variety of different reasons. For example, once the indicted individual is arrested, the indictment will be unsealed.
