Local Criminal Defense for Out-of-State Defendants
The stakes are raised when you face criminal charges in another state. If you are not a resident of Michigan, I am available day or night to help you deal with any arrest or traffic offense. I will use my knowledge and resources to help resolve your case as quickly and fairly as possible while minimizing the damage.
My name is David G. Moore, an experienced criminal defense lawyer in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I regularly represent out-of-state clients who are in trouble with the law: college students or their visiting parents; people visiting Michigan for vacation or business; and truck drivers and others traveling through Southwest Michigan.
I invite you to contact me today for a free consultation to discover how I can help.
College Students and Non-Residents Facing Charges in Michigan
Kalamazoo is a college town, and I have regularly represented students of Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo College and Davenport University campuses at Kalamazoo or Battle Creek. I also commonly represent people who were pulled over on I-94 or other traffic arteries from Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids.
As an experienced defense lawyer and former prosecutor who understands the local criminal justice systems, I can provide non-residents with knowledgeable counsel and courtroom advocacy for:
- Underage drinking offenses
- OWI (drunk driving)
- Drug possession and drug crimes
- Traffic violations
- Retail fraud or theft
- Sex offenses
- Any misdemeanor or felony crimes
Facing charges as a "stranger in a strange land" can be very stressful. College students and their parents have additional worries about how a criminal record may affect continued enrollment, scholarships, future employment opportunities and driving privileges. I explore all avenues to avoid a conviction if at all possible, and to avoid or limit jail time, license suspension, fines and surcharges, and other penalties.
Prompt, Attentive Criminal Defense
I know that time is of the essence, especially if you have been detained in Kalamazoo County or a neighboring jurisdiction. I will do everything possible to get you released and get you on your way. Meanwhile, I will promptly evaluate the facts of your case to try to resolve it as efficiently as possible. For some offenses, I can represent you without having to travel back to Michigan. Otherwise, I can work with the court to coordinate your court appearances to minimize the costs and inconvenience.
As a solo criminal defense attorney, I can provide strong local representation and personalized attention if you are facing criminal charges away from your home state. Contact me online or call 269-216-4573 or 888-527-6768. I offer a free, confidential initial consultation.
