Answers to Common Legal Questions

If you’re charged with a crime, the most important step is to exercise your right to remain silent until you speak with an attorney. Anything you say can be used against you in court. Attorney Bruce Alan Block has over 30 years of experience guiding clients through misdemeanor and felony charges, ensuring their rights are protected at every stage. Contacting him early gives you the best chance of reducing or even dismissing charges.
Yes, in many cases. Michigan’s expungement laws changed in 2021, making it possible to set aside more convictions than ever before, including one drunk driving offense, an unlimited number of misdemeanors, and up to three eligible felonies. Attorney Block will review your case, determine your eligibility, and walk you through the petition process so you can move forward with a clean record.
Drunk driving charges are taken very seriously in Michigan and can impact your license, finances, and even your freedom. Penalties may include heavy fines, license suspension, mandatory programs, or jail time. Attorney Block thoroughly reviews the arrest process, tests, and evidence to find errors and build the strongest defense possible. In many cases, he works toward reduced penalties or alternative resolutions.
Drug cases can be complicated, as penalties depend on the type of drug, amount, and location of the alleged offense. Attorney Block takes the time to explore every detail, from search procedures to lab results, to ensure his clients receive a fair defense. With decades of courtroom experience, he works toward favorable outcomes such as reduced charges, treatment-based resolutions, or dismissal.
Divorce can affect every part of your life — finances, custody, and future stability. Attorney Block provides compassionate but firm representation, making sure you understand the process from start to finish. He negotiates for fair outcomes while also being fully prepared to advocate aggressively in court if necessary. His goal is to reduce stress while protecting your rights and interests.
