Criminal Defense
Aggressive, Experienced Criminal Defense
Perhaps no other circumstances in life are more difficult than facing criminal charges. Facing the possible penalties of a conviction is certainly likely to be one of the most challenging times of your life. Whether you made a serious mistake, we’re in the wrong place with the wrong people or were wrongfully accused, you need more than a lawyer — you need experienced criminal defense counsel to protect your future.
Professional Respect Among Prosecutors And Judges
I am criminal law attorney John McManus of The McManus Firm in Royal Oak, Michigan. My defense litigation career goes back more than a quarter-century, with the last 20 years focused heavily on criminal defense in state and federal court.
When defense lawyers appear at an arraignment, negotiate with a prosecutor, argue a point in the judge’s chambers or examine a witness in court, their name and reputation precede them. I am proud to have earned high respect among peers. My reputation for integrity is my clients’ biggest advantage.
My professional credentials and record include being named as a panel attorney for Criminal Justice Act (CJA) cases in Michigan.
My experience includes successful defense representation in state and federal crimes, including:
- DUI and related drunk driving offenses, including vehicular assault and homicide
- Misdemeanor and felony narcotics offenses and related drug conspiracy charges
- Sex offenses, including federal internet sex crimes
- Fraud, conspiracy, public corruption and white-collar offenses, RICO charges
- Federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm (ATF) charges, weapons offenses
- Robbery, theft, burglary, and property crimes
- Violent offenses, murder, homicide, manslaughter, assault
- Domestic violence
