Detroit Criminal Defense Law Office

When facing serious federal criminal charges, those in Detroit must understand what legal options they have. Federal charges often come with stiff sentences after a conviction, including heavy financial fines, long-term incarceration and a permanent criminal record. It is imperative to protect your rights and your future at this time.

To begin exploring your federal criminal defense options in Detroit, Michigan, contact Michael A. Rataj, PC, today. I am attorney Michael A. Rataj, and I handle federal defense only with over 37 years of experience. I am also a former member of the United States Marine Corps, meaning I understand the work ethic and discipline it takes to provide an aggressive defense when necessary. My office offers free initial consultations.

Serving The Detroit Area

I am proud to serve clients in Detroit, Michigan, and I graduated from Wayne State University in 1985. I then graduated magna cum laude from the Detroit College of Law in 1989. When you work with me, you get someone who understands this community. You have probably even sat in the stands with me at Comerica Park or Ford Field. As a college student, I became well acquainted with local landmarks like the Fox Theatre, the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Historical Museum.

This means not only do I offer experienced criminal defense services as a skilled lawyer, but you can rest easier knowing that I genuinely care about each of my clients and the outcome of their cases. I will always put your best interests first, prioritizing communication and a rigorous criminal defense strategy. I offer free initial consultations because I want to make sure that all Detroit residents have a chance to explore their legal options without facing undue financial pressure.

Federal Cases I Can Handle

There are many types of federal criminal defense cases that I can take on effectively, including:

  • Drug charges, such as drug possession, drug trafficking and drug manufacturing
  • Health care fraud allegations, potentially involving Medicaid or Medicare
  • RICO violations, which apply to organized criminal activities
  • White collar crime offenses, such as embezzlement, identity theft and computer crimes

These are often highly technical and complex cases, but I have almost four decades of experience, and I can help you explore all your legal options thoroughly.
