Our attorneys defend both victims of domestic violence and those accused of domestic violence.If you have faced abuse from your spouse or partner, we are here to protect you, which may include a personal protection order (PPO) for your safety.

We understand the seriousness of domestic abuse and work to make sure you can move forward with your life without living in fear of your spouse or partner.If you are accused of domestic violence, we will aggressively defend you.

You are also at risk of a permanent protection order (PPO). We will help you to avoid or reduce the terms of a PPO, work to protect you from assault, stalking and violating a PPO charges, as well as represent you if your spouse or partner seeks divorce.
DRIVER’S LICENSE RESTORATION
Having your license revoked or suspended can affect all aspects of your life by hampering your ability to get where you need to go. Whether you have had your license revoked because of a drunk driving conviction or for another traffic crime, our team can help.After your first OWI, your license will initially be taken away for 30 days. Following that, you will have restricted driving privileges for 150 days. However, subsequent OWI offenses can result in years of having your license completely revoked. After the initial revocation period passes, you must apply to restore your license, which involves several difficult steps to re-qualifications, such as proving that you have not consumed alcohol. Our attorneys can defend you in court to make sure you keep your license.
DWI/OWI
The consequences of being convicted of drunk driving are significant, including revoking your driver’s license, a criminal record, or even jail time. That’s why, if you are charged with OWI (Operating While Intoxicated), you should contact us immediately, so we can provide you with the aggressive representation you need. We are committed to either getting your case dismissed, or at least reducing the consequences, so that you can move forward. Whether this is your first or third offense, whether or not you caused an accident, no matter your blood alcohol level or your age, we will defend you, protect your rights and analyze all aspects of your case.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueI recently was involved with a altercation/incident with a neighbor and found myself needing a good defense attorney. I had known Dennis Hurst from years past but was informed he was in northern Michigan so I was referred to his associate Ben Whiting. Ben is very personable and we got along well which I can;t stress enough is very important. After reviewing my case Ben assured me this was not the OJ Simpson trial and thought this could be handled quite easily. Things seemed to take a long time to get settled but I found out this was not Ben’s fault but just the way the justice system works.I will always say Ben taught me patience and trust. I also found out it’s not just what your attorney knows but also who he knows. Very important.Anyway all said Ben turned the case completely around and it was won in my favor.

From my initial consultation with Dennis to the long (not the firm’s fault) pretrial process, Ben and Dennis never stopped working for me during my darkest hour. These guys are the best around. I am confident they got me the best deal available and offered sincere, calming advice to help me keep my job and my freedom. Although it was a long road, Ben really made it a smooth one and made me feel less “alone” with him in my corner! As I have told him many times before, he’s a great human being, but in the nicest way possible I hope to put this behind me and never see him again 🙂

Nobody wants legal representation, but if you find yourself in such a need, look no further than this law firm. Dennis has years of experience and while sometimes comes off as gruff, when it comes down to what matters, he truly cares about his client coming out on top. He absolutely knows the ins and outs of every detail of the law. He would call me on his cell on vacation to remind me about some minor detail about my case. He worked with me when it came to my payments knowing in the end, we were working for the same outcome. He is no nonsense, get the job done.
