Law Office of John Freeman - Ann Arbor, MI

Elite Federal and State Criminal Defense in Ann Arbor

Facing criminal charges can jeopardize your freedom, reputation, and career. At the Law Office of John Freeman, we represent individuals and corporate entities under investigation or formally charged with serious crimes in Michigan. Our firm operates under a strict philosophy: we are 'all crime, all the time.' We do not dabble in other areas of law, allowing us to maintain a deep and laser-focused understanding of criminal trial advocacy in both state and federal courts.

For anyone accused of a crime, the choice to hire a criminal defense attorney is the most critical decision they will make. Our founder, Attorney John Freeman, brings over three decades of professional criminal law experience to your side. Having served as a federal prosecutor in Detroit and a state prosecutor in New York, he understands exactly how the government investigates, builds, and prosecutes cases. If you suspect you are being investigated or need a criminal defense attorney urgently, our team is prepared to protect your constitutional rights immediately.

Comprehensive Federal Crimes Defense

Federal prosecutions are vastly different from state-level cases. Federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, and IRS have massive resources and conduct exhaustive pre-arrest investigations. Furthermore, making false statements to a federal agent is a serious felony. If you are contacted by federal investigators, it is imperative that you do not answer questions without seasoned legal counsel present. We defend clients facing a wide range of complex federal charges, including white collar crimes, federal conspiracy, drug trafficking, health care fraud, tax fraud, and internet sex stings.

When your liberty is at stake, you cannot afford to wait. Seeking representation early can dramatically alter the trajectory of a case, from securing a lower bond during initial arraignments to preventing charges from being filed altogether. When you need to find an attorney with extensive experience appearing before federal judges and administrative bodies, the Law Office of John Freeman offers the highly strategic defense you need.

Strategic Representation for State Misdemeanors and Felonies

In addition to our robust federal practice, we represent clients facing state-level felonies and misdemeanors across Washtenaw County and Southeast Michigan. Our trial lawyers aggressively challenge the prosecution's evidence in cases involving driving under the influence (DUI/OWI), domestic violence, weapons offenses, assault, theft, and hunting or fishing violations. We also provide strategic representation for University of Michigan students facing academic disciplinary proceedings or campus-related criminal allegations.

A criminal conviction, even for a minor offense, can have lifelong consequences, affecting your employment prospects, professional licensing, and personal relationships. We meticulously evaluate search warrants, challenge police procedures, and look for constitutional violations to build a strong defense. Our ultimate goal is always to get charges dismissed or minimized to protect your clean record.

Award-Winning Courtroom Advocacy

Attorney John Freeman has been recognized by prestigious organizations including Super Lawyers, the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and holds a Lead Counsel Verification. We accept major credit cards, checks, cash, and offer flexible payment structures including retainer fees and flat-fee packages depending on the complexity of your case.
