Board-Certified Criminal Trial Attorney to the Rescue!

Every day, in courtrooms throughout Michigan (and even on Zoom screens during the COVID pandemic), cases are won or lost based on the effective or ineffective cross-examination of witnesses.  What is cross-examination? It is the questioning of the other side’s witness(es), typically under oath. This questioning often unearths important information, and when done effectively, can slice open the other side’s case. 

Dan Geherin, owner of the Geherin Law Group PLLC (GLGMichigan) in Ann Arbor, is an ex-prosecutor and board-certified criminal trial attorney with over 24 years’ courtroom experience.  Dan honed his trial and cross-examination skills in the 1990s as a Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles County, the biggest and busiest prosecutor’s office in the country.  As a prosecutor, Dan was trained to cross-examine criminal defendants to shake out the truth and prove they were lying or had something to hide.

Why is effective cross-examination so important?

Witnesses often rehearse their testimony with the prosecutor or with their attorney, and they review previous statements to help them “stick with the script.” It is up to the opponent’s attorney to dig deeper, and to probe areas that prove inconsistency, bias, mistakes and sometimes even deceit. A witness often reveals his or her true character or demeanor when they’re pushed, prodded and confronted about prior inconsistencies. Jurors and judges often make up their minds about a witness’ credibility (and even about the whole case) after watching a cross-examination of a central witness.

Protect You and Your Loved Ones After a OWI/DUI Arrest

In Michigan, a first offense OWI is a crime—not just a traffic offense.  It’s a misdemeanor, carrying up to 93 days in jail upon a conviction. There are several judges in Michigan who impose jail time on a first offense, even when you have no priors, no accident, and no aggravating factors. For higher blood alcohol arrests (called “High BAC” or “Superdrunk”), the law allows for up to 180 days in jail.

Find a Good Criminal Defense Attorney Like Dan Geherin to Represent You

The criminal justice “freight train” may have slowed down for the COVID-19 health pandemic, but it hasn’t stopped. Police are still pulling people over and arresting them; prosecutors are still charging people with misdemeanor and felony offenses; and many cases are just now opening at the courts after months of laying dormant. If you or a loved one face a criminal charge, you are probably wondering how to find a good (and often, the best) criminal defense attorney to help.

How Do I Find a Good Criminal Attorney?

Every day, Dan and his team field calls from people who are searching for a good criminal defense attorney. They often have a list of potential attorneys that they’ve talked to or researched online.  They often ask a series of (good) questions, such as:

“How long have you been a criminal attorney?”

“Is criminal law your specialty?”

“Will you be handling my case, or will it be turned over to an associate attorney?”

“How much will it cost to have a good criminal defense attorney?”

Finding a good criminal defense attorney is vitally important to achieving a good and just result.  Too many attorneys are either inexperienced in criminal defense, don’t put in the effort and diligence needed to successfully obtain results, or are afraid to go to trial on a criminal case. The criminal justice system only works when an accused person has a dedicated, diligent and ethical criminal defense attorney to help. How does an accused person find such an attorney, especially during a health pandemic when face-to-face meetings are often impossible?

Criminal Trials Over Zoom? “How Does this Affect My Case?”

Trials generally require a physical courtroom; 6-12 jurors; in-person testimony. Generally they can’t be accomplished with a lot of social distancing, especially in smaller courtrooms with multiple personnel present (prosecutor, defense attorney, accused, jurors, witnesses, and court staff).  As a result, courts have been struggling with what to do about criminal trials.
