FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers to Common Legal Questions

Grand Rapids lawyer Bruce Alan Block answers some of the most common questions clients ask when facing criminal charges, family law disputes, expungements, drunk driving cases, drug offenses, and civil lawsuits. For more detailed information, visit the practice area pages linked below.

What should I do if I’m charged with a crime in Michigan?

If you are charged with a crime, the most important step is to exercise your right to remain silent and speak with a lawyer before talking to police or prosecutors. Anything you say can be used against you in court. Attorney Block has over 30 years of experience defending clients in misdemeanor and felony cases across West Michigan. Learn more on our criminal defense practice area page .

Can I get a criminal conviction expunged in Michigan?

Many people are now eligible to clear past convictions under Michigan’s expanded expungement laws. Depending on the number and type of offenses, you may be able to set aside certain misdemeanors or felonies and remove them from most public background checks. For details about eligibility and the process, visit our Grand Rapids expungement lawyer page.

What are the consequences of a drunk driving (OWI/DUI) conviction?

A drunk or drugged driving conviction can lead to license suspension, fines, probation, increased insurance rates, and even jail time. The exact penalties depend on your prior record, your blood alcohol content, and whether an accident or injury occurred. Attorney Block evaluates the stop, testing, and evidence and works to reduce or avoid harsh outcomes. Learn more on our OWI/DUI defense page .

How does the firm handle drug-related charges?

Drug cases often turn on the details: the search, the quantity, and the intent alleged by prosecutors. Our firm defends possession, possession with intent to deliver, and related offenses with careful review of stops, searches, warrants, and lab results. We also explore treatment-based resolutions when appropriate. For more information, visit our drug offenses practice area page .

What can I expect during a divorce case in Michigan?

Divorce cases involve decisions about property, debts, child custody, parenting time, and support. Michigan has waiting periods for divorces with and without children, and many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation rather than trial. Attorney Block guides clients through each step and works to protect their children, finances, and long-term interests. Learn more on our divorce and family law page .

When should I contact a lawyer about a civil dispute?

If you have been served with a Summons and Complaint, or believe a business or contract dispute is developing, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Deadlines for responding to lawsuits are short, and early advice can prevent costly mistakes. To see how our firm handles contract and business disputes, visit the civil litigation page.
