About the Firm
The Law Office of Peter Ellenson
Criminal Defense in Oakland County, Michigan, and the Detroit Metro
As a solo practitioner, all my clients know exactly who will be handling their case from beginning to end — me.
A Hands-On Criminal Defense Attorney
I work with investigators and expert witnesses when necessary, but I am very much a "hands-on" criminal defense attorney. I immerse myself in each client's case, often seeing the places and talking to the people involved.
Flexibility and Strategic Thinking Are Critical to Success
A criminal defense lawyer must always be thinking. What's around the next corner? What might this next witness tell me that could change the case? Am I able to suppress statements or a confession? What are all the possible outcomes, and how do I steer this case in the direction I want it to go?
These questions apply to every type of criminal case — from a shoplifting misdemeanor to a felony Internet sex crimes charge or a weapons charge against a convicted felon.
In my 15 years working as a private criminal defense attorney, I have honed my strategic thinking skills to a sharp point. I can think through every aspect of the case, untangle the relationships, and think carefully through each decision that has to be made as the case moves through the criminal justice system.
These skills allow me to guide my clients through the process of making smart, strategic decisions that will help them protect their freedom and their rights.
