The attorneys at SBBL Law focus almost exclusively on criminal
law/defense. Why? We believe it gives our attorneys and our clients an
advantage in defending criminal charges in state court and federal
court. After all, most prosecutors practice in only one area of the law:
criminal law. In order to level the playing field, our attorneys focus
almost exclusively on criminal defense. The depth of knowledge and
experience that comes from focusing on criminal defense
day-in-and-day-out makes us better at what we do. It allows us the time
and the experience to master all the various aspects of a criminal case
in order to get better result for our clients.
This includes mastering: the pre-charge investigation; grand jury
investigations; pre-charge plea bargaining (before the prosecution
becomes entrenched in the case); cooperation; arraignment;
bond/detention hearings; discovery; effective plea negotiations
(including knowing a good deal from a bad deal); filing pre-trial
motions (with an aim toward winning the case or excluding critical
evidence from trial); jury selection; the rules of evidence; jury
trials; cross-examination; post-trial motions for acquittal or new
trial; pre-sentence interviews PSI's), pre-sentence investigation
reports (PSR's); the sentencing guidelines; motions for downward
departures/variances; sentencing; deferred sentences; deferred plea
agreements; alternatives to traditional incarceration; and making
persuasive written and oral arguments on appeal. Mastering these areas
of practice is critical if you want to be regarded as one of the best
criminal defense attorneys/best criminal defense firms in West Michigan.
If we didn't focus our practice on criminal defense, it would be
difficult to master all the different aspects of a criminal case, any
one of which could make a tremendous difference in our clients' cases.
