That’s why people across Michigan trust Lewis & Dickstein, P.L.L.C. in Southfield. This law firm focuses only on criminal defense, and they’ve built a reputation for going above and beyond to protect their clients.

They don’t cut corners. They don’t back down. Whether it’s a misdemeanor or a serious felony, the lawyers at Lewis & Dickstein fight with everything they’ve got—and they win because they prepare harder than anyone else.

Helping People Charged With Crimes Across Michigan

From the first meeting, this firm treats you like a person, not a case number. You get a team of experienced defense lawyers who know the law, understand how local courts work, and take your situation seriously.

They handle a wide range of criminal charges, such as:

• Retail fraud and shoplifting

• Drug possession and distribution

• Domestic violence and assault

• Embezzlement and white-collar crimes

• Driving while suspended or revoked

• Probation violations

• Resisting arrest

• Firearm offenses

No matter the charge, their goal is to protect your record and your rights. If the police or prosecutor overstepped, they’ll catch it. If the case is weak, they’ll challenge it.

Drunk Driving Defense in Michigan Courts

One of the most common reasons people call Lewis & Dickstein is for OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) and DUI (Driving Under the Influence) cases. These are serious charges in Michigan and can lead to:

• Jail time

• Fines and court costs

• License suspension

• Points on your driving record

• A criminal record that sticks with you

This firm digs deep into the details—why you were pulled over, how tests were given, whether the officer followed the rules. They often find errors that can help reduce charges or even get the case thrown out.

Trusted Defense for Drug Charges in Michigan

Drug crimes can bring heavy consequences—especially if it’s not your first time. But just because you were arrested doesn’t mean you’re guilty. Lewis & Dickstein handles drug cases like:

• Simple possession

• Possession with intent to deliver

• Drug trafficking

• Prescription drug fraud

• Marijuana offenses

They challenge illegal searches, bad warrants, and weak evidence. In many cases, they’ve helped clients get drug charges dropped or lowered to non-criminal offenses.

Defense for First-Time Offenders and Young Adults

If you’ve never been in trouble before, you may qualify for programs that keep your record clean. Lewis & Dickstein helps people take advantage of:

• Diversion programs

• Delayed sentencing

• Deferred entry of judgment

• Youthful trainee programs (HYTA)

These programs allow you to move past your mistake without a conviction. But not everyone qualifies—and not every lawyer knows how to use them. This firm does.

White-Collar Crime and Fraud Defense

Not all criminal cases involve violence or drugs. Some involve complex financial charges like:

• Embezzlement

• Identity theft

• Credit card fraud

• Insurance fraud

• Forgery

These cases can damage your career, even if you’re never convicted. Lewis & Dickstein works with forensic accountants and investigators to build strong defenses in these complicated situations.

Federal Criminal Cases and High-Stakes Defense

Facing charges in federal court is different. The rules are stricter. The penalties are harsher. The prosecutors are tougher. You need a defense team that knows how to handle:

• Federal drug charges

• Internet crimes

• Wire and mail fraud

• Weapons violations

• Tax fraud

• Federal conspiracy

Lewis & Dickstein, P.L.L.C. has defended clients in federal court throughout Michigan and knows how to navigate the system with care and confidence.

What to Do if You're Contacted by the Police

Many clients reach out before they’ve even been arrested—and that’s smart. If the police want to talk, or if you’ve been served a search warrant or subpoena, don’t wait.

Here’s what the lawyers at Lewis & Dickstein recommend:

1. Don’t talk to police without legal advice.

2. Don’t delete texts, emails, or anything else that might be evidence.

3. Don’t assume you’ll “explain it away.”

4. Call an experienced criminal defense lawyer right away.

Calling early gives your lawyer time to protect you, stop charges from being filed, or limit what can be used against you later.

How This Firm Prepares for Trial

What makes Lewis & Dickstein different is how they prepare each case like it’s going to trial—even if it never gets there. This gives them the upper hand in negotiations because the other side knows they’re ready.

Their prep work includes:

• Reviewing every second of body cam and dash cam footage

• Interviewing witnesses (and re-interviewing them if needed)

• Finding flaws in police procedure

• Hiring expert witnesses

• Running mock trials or hearings

• Filing smart, early motions to limit what can be used in court

This level of detail takes time—but it wins cases.
