Ann Arbor criminal defense attorney Robert Elmen was admitted to practice law in Michigan in 2014. Included in the Ann Arbor lawyers practicing criminal defense, he focuses on defending people accused of all manner of crimes, and frequently represents people accused of assault and domestic violence.
When people ask "How can you defend 'those people'?" I tell them that I am proud to stand up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, that I get to argue every day for the presumption of innocence, the right to trial by jury, and proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and that my job is right there in the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
A Michigan assault charge is a serious crime that carries severe fines and penalties if you are convicted. You could be sent to prison and have a felony conviction on your criminal record. A Michigan criminal defense attorney can help in defending you against charges of assault.

Assault in Michigan is defined as an attempt to cause physical injury to another person, and any intentional unlawful act or threatening action if the offender appears to have the ability to carry out the act and the act would cause a reasonable person to be in fear of impending violence.Battery is a completed assault - the intentional infliction of violence or force against another person.
Ann Arbor Criminal Defense Lawyer Robert Elmen Defends People Accused of Domestic Violence. Once allegations of domestic violence have been made, the criminal process is in motion and it is difficult to stop, even if the victim decides not to press charges. You will need to appear for court, and you may be restricted from entering your own home, accessing your possessions, or contacting your spouse or domestic partner.
A conviction for a Michigan drug crime can carry serious penalties, including jail time, fines, and probation. A drug crime conviction can also lead to far-reaching consequences like expulsion from school, difficulty securing housing or employment, or loss of a job or professional license. An experienced drug lawyer by your side can help you ensure your future.

I turned to Robert with an last minute matter and he resolved within 72 hours. He jumped in like a family member (a calm, smart lawyer family member). From start to finish I felt as though I was his top priority. He is flexible with pricing and above sincere and trustworthy. I am so glad I called Robert for emergency help and that he was always available and didn’t miss a beat when it came to getting the matter completely thrown out. He sometimes calls to check in and say hi. We have spent many hours off the clock talking about other important life stuff.

First, Before I reached out to Attorney Elmen by phone from California to address 10 17 year old forgery charges, I had searched google and attempted to reach out to 3 other attorneys in the area, all who told me that they either had no interest in taking my case, were too busy, or just seemed like they didn’t care. Attorney Elmen was different. He listened to my story, he understood that people make mistakes, especially when they’re young. He was straight up with me from the start about the possible negative outcomes of the case but also gave me hope that we had a fighting chance of getting

This was my first time ever being involved in any type of court case. Throughout the process Mr. Elmen kept me aware of every possibility in my case. One thing that struck me a certain way was the way he also showed he actually cared about what was going on in my case. There are lots of attorneys that are just in it for the money but Mr. Elmen showed that this was not the case with him. He was genuine, was always an ear to listen to me whenever i would have any concerns and most of all he is dedicated to his work and your case. I could have definitely done some time in the county jail. However

Robert was very nice and helpful through the whole process. I was looking at jail time, but got off with just a small fine. Totally worth it!

Robert represented me in a case where I was accused of an (Assault and Battery) in Ottawa county Michigan. The prosecution was very forceful and intimidating and even threatening to increase my charges. We took it to jury trial and won. My life was allowed to move forward and I am sure without Roberts help I would have been wrongfully convicted and suffered huge life altering consequences. The whole legal process I was forced to go through was highly uncomfortable and very upsetting, Robert helped me get through this and keep peace of mind. Some attorneys are in it for the money and the title Mr
