🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM NEWBURG LAW!

Tonight, people will be dressing up as ghosts, zombies, witches, and all kinds of terrifying things.

But after nearly two decades practicing criminal defense, I can tell you there are scarier things than anything you’ll see knocking on your door tonight.

Like someone saying, “Officer, I can explain everything.”

Or, even worse, “You can search my car. I’ve got nothing to hide.”

Enjoy the costumes. Eat the candy. Have a great time.

And remember, just because it’s Halloween doesn’t mean you need to give the police a scary story of their own.

The right to remain silent isn’t just for October 31.

Happy Halloween!

IT’S FRIDAY. PLAYOFF FOOTBALL IS HERE. 🏈

A friendly reminder to all the passionate football fans out there:

The officials are going to miss calls. Some of them might even be terrible.

You are absolutely entitled to disagree. You can question their eyesight, their understanding of the rulebook, and occasionally their choice of profession.

But here’s where our legal advice comes in.

Threatening a referee, getting in their face, or putting your hands on them can turn a bad call into a criminal case.

And while we’re always happy to defend someone, we’d prefer your Friday night end with a final score rather than a police report.

Cheer loud. Support your team. Question the officiating.

Just remember, the referee can throw a flag. The police can do a little more than that.

Good luck to the Grand Ledge Comets this weekend!

CASE DISMISSED.

Another good result for Newburg Law.

Our client, A.H., was facing an assault charge. Today, that case is dismissed.

Being accused of a crime can affect far more than what happens in a courtroom. Your reputation, career, family, and future can all be impacted.

That’s why we take every case seriously, regardless of the charge.

We’re pleased with this outcome and, more importantly, happy that A.H. can put this case behind them and move forward.

An accusation is not a conviction. And every case deserves a defense.

It’s Friday. And as criminal defense lawyers, we’d like to offer a little unsolicited advice.

Surround yourself with good people. Make reasonably good decisions. Don’t text your ex. And for the love of everything, don’t drive like an idiot.

We genuinely hope you have a great weekend.

We’d also prefer that your weekend activities don’t become our Monday morning reading material.

But if they do, well… we don’t judge. We defend.

Happy Friday from Newburg Law.

Your Rights. Your Liberty. Your Defense.

For someone navigating the legal system for the first time, having an attorney who takes the time to explain the process, communicate clearly, and genuinely care can make all the difference.

We’re proud to have Steve Milks on our team and grateful when clients take the time to share their experiences.

Thank you, E.P., for trusting Steve and Newburg Law.

Everyone loves constitutional rights.

Until those rights apply to someone they don’t like.

Funny how that works.

The Constitution doesn’t distinguish between popular people and unpopular people. The presumption of innocence, due process, and the right to counsel belong to everyone.

Even people accused of terrible things.

Especially when the accusations are terrible.

World Mental Health Day.

After nearly 20 years working in the criminal justice system, one thing has become increasingly clear: We have a mental health crisis in this country, and our criminal justice system is often where that crisis becomes impossible to ignore.

Every day, individuals enter our courts and jails struggling with mental health challenges that have gone untreated, undiagnosed, or inadequately addressed. And too often, the criminal justice system is left trying to manage problems that should have been addressed long before someone was arrested.

We have such a long way to go. From access to treatment, to acceptance, transparency, disclosure, and simply recognizing that mental health challenges are real and deserve serious attention.

Accountability and treatment are not mutually exclusive. We can recognize the seriousness of criminal conduct while also recognizing the humanity of the person accused.

At Newburg Law, we see these challenges firsthand. We don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we are committed to doing whatever we can to advocate for better treatment, greater understanding, and meaningful solutions.

Because sometimes the most important thing we can do as defense attorneys is make sure the system sees more than a criminal charge. It sees a person.

We have a long way to go. And we’re committed to being part of the progress.

It’s Friday. We hope everyone has a great weekend.

Make some memories. Have some fun. Spend time with good people.

Just try not to give the police anything interesting to write about.

And if things don’t go quite according to plan, well… that’s why we’re here.

Happy Friday from Newburg Law.

Newburg Law has grown.

Steve Milks and Robert Palmer have joined the firm, bringing nearly two decades of criminal law experience each.

Between the three of us, we’ve tried more than 100 cases—and criminal defense remains the focus of what we do every day.

All three of us also serve on the Executive Leadership Team of the Eaton County Public Defender’s Office, where we continue to represent clients while helping lead the office.

So, for everyone who has asked lately: yes, Newburg Law is very much in private practice and accepting criminal cases throughout Michigan.

Three lawyers. A lot of experience. One focus.

This was posted yesterday afternoon after we got a phone call from media outlets asking to explain recent reports that Larry Nassar was removed from the registry by the state police.

After my conversations with local media outlets and this instagram post, the reason he does not appear on the list has been accurately reported. But, here is the explanation we gave yesterday afternoon:

This has nothing to do with the Ex Post Facto decision of the recent Michigan Supreme Court Decision on SORA. Nassar is currently incarcerated outside Michigan. Michigan State Police explains that an offender who is not a Michigan resident may not appear on Michigan’s public registry.

That doesn’t mean his convictions disappeared. And his absence from the Michigan registry, standing alone, doesn’t establish that the Michigan Supreme Court’s recent ruling removed him.

The recent SORA decision is significant and worth understanding. But it doesn’t explain everything you see—or don’t see—when searching Michigan’s registry.

Sometimes the legal explanation is considerably less dramatic than social media tends to portray.
