Professional Reliable & Effective Representation at Affordable Rates.

It is absolutely critical to retain the services of an experienced, aggressive, and affordable Michigan criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights. Your statements and actions immediately after an arrest or during the early stages of a criminal investigation can have a tremendous impact on the outcome of your case.

Don't go it alone! The state has vast resources and unlimited help from police and law enforcement.  Since you do not know the rules you will be outplayed. Shop around and find a criminal defense lawyer that you feel good about, someone who cares about you as a person and realizes you are not just another case or just another face. 

Abraham Lincoln once remarked that a person who represents himself "has a fool for a client." This is strong language -- yet true. Even attorneys immediately hire an experienced lawyer to represent them in a jam. So should you.

Grand Rapids, Michigan Attorney Bruce Alan Block cares about his clients and can guide you through each step of your case, ensuring your rights are protected by raising effective defenses, timely filing motions, and protecting your Constitutional rights. You can trust that we will aggressively defend your rights in and out of court and maximize your chances of acquittal.

West Michigan Criminal Defense Attorney Bruce Alan Block's practice includes:

  • Criminal Defense for all Felonies and Misdemeanors. Any criminal conviction can have a lasting impact on your life, your freedom, and that of your family. We are experienced and can provide you with a calculated defense to these crimes, including a defense to a violation of a personal protection order (PPO). You need a criminal lawyer to defend you and your freedom.

  • Drunk Driving (DUI/OWI) / Traffic Violations. A conviction for drunk driving DUI or any other traffic violation can have a lasting impact on your life and seriously affect your driver’s license, insurance rates, finances, and freedom. We have the experience to provide you with a skilled dui defense and obtain the best results possible. See our DUI / Traffic Violations page for additional information.

  • Sex Crimes. Perhaps as with no other crime, an allegation of sexual abuse has the potential to completely ruin your life. The system presumes your guilt, as it is almost impossible to disprove something that never happened. The stakes are high, as the justice system is harsh on convicted sex offenders. See our Sex Offenses page for additional information.

  • Drug Crimes. We provide experienced representation and drug defense to those accused of drug crimes, including drug possession, distribution, manufacturing, and possession with intent to deliver marijuana, meth, cocaine, heroin, crack, ecstasy, and other illegal drugs and controlled substances. See our Michigan Medical Marijuana Page or our Drug Offense page. We are experienced and can provide you with a knowledgeable marijuana defense.

  • Violent Crimes. Violent crimes carry severe penalties and can have a detrimental impact on your life, including employment prospects. We provide comprehensive defense for those accused of violent crimes, including home invasion, burglary, theft, felonious assault, murder, and homicide. You can trust in our skill and years of experience to mount an effective defense.

  • Felonies. Felonies are criminal offenses punishable by at least one year of prison, including arson, fleeing and eluding, weapons charge, armed robbery, car jacking, kidnapping, sex offenses, felon in possession of firearm, home invasion, and most illegal drug crimes. Felonies pose the greatest risk to your freedom, as they usually result in prison terms. You need an experienced West Michigan criminal defense attorney to provide you with a felony defense.

  • Misdemeanors. Misdemeanors are lesser crimes punishable by up to a year in jail, and include offenses such as drunk boating, driving suspended (DWLS), theft, retail fraud, indecent exposure, drunk driving - DUI, malicious destruction of property (MDOP), disorderly conduct, domestic violence, trespass, resisting arrest, solicitation of an immoral act, prostitution, weapons charges, minor in possession (MIP), and probation violations. You need a misdemeanor defense attorney to help you.

  • Civil Infraction. Speeding tickets, many traffic violations, noise infractions, and other offenses the state does not consider criminal. These can be paid at the front counter of the local court without seeing a judge. Don't make the mistake of paying your ticket without first consulting a lawyer. Many times the original traffic ticket can be reduced to a lesser offense with less points and less impact on your driving record and insurance rates.

  • Civil Litigation. These are civil lawsuits for money damages, and typically result from a breach of contract, construction lien, personal injury from car accidents or product liability, mechanics lien, cancellation of your business line of credit, and more. See our Civil Litigation page for more information.

A criminal conviction can forever change your life. You can trust in our skill and experience to fight for your rights, and your future.
