Geherin Law Group, PLLC represents clients in criminal cases across Michigan. Our firm handles cases ranging from OWI and drug offenses to theft, fraud, assault, and serious felony charges. Because every case is different, we develop strategies tailored to your specific allegations and evidence.
As a board-certified criminal trial attorney, Daniel T. Geherin brings extensive courtroom experience to trial and negotiation. We conduct our own investigations to uncover evidence that supports your side of the story. Then, we challenge the prosecution by filing motions to dismiss or suppress when your procedural or Constitutional rights were violated. This thorough approach often creates opportunities to reduce or dismiss the charges and limit penalties.
Beyond trial work, we can advise clients on collateral issues like license suspensions, probation terms, and potential impacts on employment or education.
We represent clients charged with operating while intoxicated (OWI), operating while visibly impaired (OWVI), and other alcohol- or drug-related driving offenses. Our goal is to provide comprehensive representation that addresses both the criminal charges and the related license consequences.
Drunk driving cases often hinge on technical details like test results and Constitutional violations. Depending on your specific case, our firm can raise issues like unlawful traffic stops, faulty testing procedures, and unsupported officer observations. We also represent clients in driver’s license hearings before the Administrative Hearings Section.
If your license has been suspended or revoked, we can work to restore your driving privileges. Many people lose their licenses after multiple drunk driving convictions or other serious traffic offenses. Without the ability to drive, it’s difficult to maintain your independence.
License restoration cases typically require appearing before the Administrative Hearings Section. With experience in both criminal defense and hundreds of driver’s license restorations, Geherin Law Group, PLLC knows what hearing officers and judges expect and how to give clients the best possible chance of success.
Losing a loved one is never easy, but it’s especially painful when it happens as a result of someone else’s negligence or recklessness. We represent families in wrongful death claims arising from negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts. A wrongful death action allows surviving family members to pursue compensation for their financial and emotional losses.
Our firm focuses on wrongful death cases with an element of “criminal wrongdoing,” including drunk driving and dram shop liability, motor vehicle crashes, police misconduct and jailhouse negligence, assaults resulting in death, and boating, swimming, or hunting accidents.
We provide aggressive representation for college students facing disciplinary or criminal charges at the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, Washtenaw Community College, and other Michigan schools. Our clients come to us for a wide range of issues, including alcohol or controlled substance offenses, sexting and computer crimes, assault allegations, and sex-related charges.
We have represented thousands of students in front of campus disciplinary boards and in the criminal justice system. Whether you are responding to a ticket, an arrest, a court notice, or a school disciplinary action, we work to protect your reputation and future opportunities.
If your child has been accused of a crime, we can fight to protect their legal rights and long-term opportunities. We represent minors charged with delinquency actions throughout Washtenaw County and Southeast Michigan. Juvenile cases operate under different rules and procedures than adult criminal cases—and very few attorneys have the experience needed to successfully navigate this system.
Geherin Law Group, PLLC handles juvenile offenses from sex offenses and larceny to drug-related charges and serious felonies. If your child is a minor over 14 and is accused of serious crimes, we are prepared to defend against adult waiver proceedings, too.
If you or a loved one has suffered catastrophic injuries caused by someone else’s negligence or criminal actions, we can help. These are injuries that significantly impair a person’s ability to work, enjoy life, or function independently. They often require ongoing care and support, so we help victims pursue both recovery and justice.
Because these cases are complex and often involve serious criminal or civil liability, our clients benefit from our extensive litigation experience and network of expert witnesses. We work to hold the at-fault party accountable and help every client rebuild their lives.
Civil rights violations are devastating. Every person—regardless of age, race, or gender—has protections under the law. Geherin Law Group, PLLC works to hold perpetrators accountable while pursuing financial recovery for our clients.
Our civil rights practice covers a wide range of situations, including police or corrections misconduct, false arrest, assaults, and school-related injuries or cyberbullying.
With experience in both civil litigation and trial advocacy, clients get aggressive representation and careful investigation. Our goal is to see that victims are made whole and that wrongdoers are held accountable for their actions.
A conviction doesn’t always follow you for life. If you’ve faced barriers to employment, housing, education, and other opportunities because of past convictions, we’ll advocate for wiping the slate clean.
Our firm has decades of experience with expungements, from determining eligibility under Michigan’s clean slate laws to representing clients at hearings. We also advise on timelines, waiting periods, and limitations on certain convictions, so you understand your options before taking action.
When we represent clients at expungement hearings, we present a clear case for eligibility and suitability for relief. Once a conviction is set aside, public records are updated—and clients can move forward, free from the burden of a past conviction.
Geherin Law Group, PLLC approaches every case with a combination of experience, strategy, and a commitment to supporting every client. We know that legal matters are stressful and complicated, so we offer guidance and support throughout your case.
Our team is dedicated to identifying all potential avenues for relief and explaining your options in detail. Then, we pursue solutions to protect your rights and interests. Whether your case involves criminal defense, civil litigation, or administrative proceedings, our firm develops practical strategies that address your immediate challenges and long-term consequences.
Clients love our accessibility and responsiveness. From initial consultation through resolution, we make ourselves available to answer all your questions and provide updates.
