At The Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC, we provide strategic, aggressive defense for clients accused of felony-level offenses. With over 20 years of experience, attorney Julian Poota understands how to fight for your rights and freedom in local courts throughout Washtenaw County.

Consequences of a Felony Conviction in Michigan

A felony conviction carries much harsher penalties than misdemeanors. Potential consequences include:

  • Prison time (over one year)
  • Substantial fines and court costs
  • Probation or parole
  • Loss of civil rights (e.g., voting, firearm ownership)
  • Immigration consequences for non-citizens
  • Damage to your reputation, career, and personal relationships

Felony charges can remain on your record permanently unless expunged. Early legal intervention is critical to minimizing these outcomes.


Why You Need a Felony Defense Attorney

Felony prosecutions often involve experienced prosecutors and complex legal procedures. A skilled criminal defense attorney can:

  • Investigate and challenge the evidence
  • File motions to suppress illegally obtained material
  • Negotiate plea deals or alternative sentencing
  • Represent you in trial if necessary
  • Seek a reduction to a misdemeanor when appropriate

At The Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC, we prioritize your freedom and your future. We tailor our defense to the facts of your case and fight for the best outcome possible.
