Michigan Criminal Defense
When you are accused of a crime you are not just fighting charges, you are fighting a system. Police departments and prosecutor’s offices have hyper-efficient procedures in place to move cases through that system as quickly as possible.

About the Founding Attorney
Kevin Battersby Witenoff is a former prosecutor with experience handling complex and high severity felony cases.
As a Wayne County prosecutor, Kevin led nearly one thousand adult and juvenile felony cases, including high-stakes charges such as homicide, carjacking, robbery, and counterfeiting. This background gives him a unique advantage in defense work: he knows how prosecutors build cases, where weaknesses can be found, and how to negotiate effectively on behalf of his clients.
Before his time at the Prosecutor’s Office, Kevin dedicated his studies and early work to issues of fair treatment in the court system, social policy, and juvenile justice. Today, he brings that passion into practice, with a mission to secure the best possible outcomes for every client he represents.
From traffic infractions to life offenses, Kevin has successfully navigated nearly every type of criminal matter. His deep courtroom experience, diligence, and strong professional relationships enable him to fight for dismissals, diversion programs, favorable plea agreements, or trial victories — whichever path is in his client’s best interest.
