While our work in indigent defense is vital, we will continue to offer all of Michigan’s criminal defense attorneys top-notch education, networking opportunities, and mentoring to our newer members. Our hard work in Lansing will also remain steadfast as we uphold the Constitution and provide a voice for those accused of a crime.”
