SBBL Law is proud to welcome former United States Attorney for the Western District of Michigan, Andrew Birge, as a Partner. Andrew brings more than 30 years of litigation experience in federal and state courts to SBBL's criminal defense team.

During a 25-year career with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Andrew served as a federal prosecutor, the First Assistant U.S. Attorney, the Appellate Chief, and ultimately the U.S. Attorney--leading an office of approximately 80 attorneys and professional staff and overseeing its federal criminal and civil litigation. Andrew most recently worked with the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office, where he gained experience in Michigan courts at both the trial and appellate level.

Andrew continues the SBBL tradition of former federal prosecutors and former government attorneys now working on the other side of the aisle to ensure justice, fairness, and a constitutional process for those facing criminal charges. Andrew will be representing clients in criminal courts throughout the state of Michigan, as well as federal courts nationwide. He brings specialized knowledge to the firm's appellate, white collar, and complex federal investigations practice groups.

Welcome to the team, Andrew!

When do police actually have to read Miranda Rights?

Many people believe officers are required to read Miranda warnings anytime they ask questions or make an arrest. In reality, the law is much more specific.

Miranda Rights generally apply during what courts call a “custodial interrogation” – when someone is both in custody, and being questioned for incriminating information.

In our latest blog, we explain:
• What “in custody” legally means
• Situations where Miranda warnings are NOT required
• Why statements made voluntarily can still be used in court
• What to know before speaking with law enforcement

Understanding your constitutional rights before a police encounter can be critically important.

Receiving a jury summons can raise a lot of questions:
How long will it last?
Can you get excused?
What actually happens in court?

The reality is that jury duty is an important part of the legal system, and many people who serve end up finding the experience meaningful and eye-opening.

In our latest blog, we explain:
• What happens during jury selection
• How long jury duty may last
• Common scheduling concerns
• What courts expect from jurors

Understanding the process ahead of time can make jury service much easier to navigate.
