A Serious, Experienced Defense Lawyer for Serious Crimes

In Michigan and in the metro Detroit area, felony and misdemeanor crimes are taken very seriously by the courts and employers. You could end up serving time in jail or prison, paying hefty fines, court costs, losing your job, driver’s license and home. You could be placed on probation for an extended period of time with conditions which could seriously impact your life. For that reason and more, it makes good sense to have an experienced attorney by your side from the earliest stages of a criminal case to the end.

I DIDN’T LOSE MY LICENSE.

“Mr. Chiappelli, I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with my traffic ticket. Even though I was involved in an accident with an ambulance with its lights and sirens activated, you were able to work your magic and get all the points dropped so I wouldn’t lose my license as a new driver. Again, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.”
