Being charged with a crime is the most stressful event in most people's lives. The rules which govern this process are often incomprehensible for the accused as well as inexperienced lawyers.
The Solo and Small Firm Section of the State Bar of Michigan is hosting a seminar featuring some of the most competent jurists and lawyers in the field of criminal law on Thursday, May 28, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Andiamo, 6676 Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Twp.
Speakers include Macomb County Circuit Judge Mark S. Switalski who has 15 years experience appointing criminal counsel, conducting trials and sentencings of felony cases; and Oakland County 51st District Court Judge Jodi Debbrecht Switalski who has served the public for 5 years as a judge in Waterford's district court handling misdemeanor cases and conducting preliminary exams of felony cases. Brian Zubel, a pioneer in the area of DNA evidence, will give his viewpoint on motion practice in the criminal court and Elias J. Escobedo Jr., a 30 year veteran who has defended individuals accused of violating federal and state criminal laws, will share his insights and experiences.
