The uncertainty is the hardest part. Kevin will explain your charge, your realistic options, and what to expect in one conversation.
Kevin has prosecuted and defended hundreds of firearm and weapons cases in Wayne County. That volume of experience matters.
Weapons cases often turn on whether the search was legal. Kevin has challenged and defended Fourth Amendment motions from both sides of the courtroom.
Firearm and weapons charges in Michigan can carry mandatory minimums, felony convictions, and the permanent loss of your gun rights. If you have been charged, you are probably running through worst-case scenarios right now.
That reaction makes sense. These are serious charges. But how your case ends depends on the facts, the evidence, and the decisions made in the first few weeks, not just the charge on the paper.
At KBW Criminal Law, Kevin personally reviews your case, takes your calls, and walks you through every step. You will get to speak with the very lawyer who will be arguing your case in court.
He will explain the charge, break down what the prosecutor actually needs to prove, and give you an honest read on where things stand. He will also tell you about options you probably do not yet know exist.
Most clients say the panic starts to fade once someone sits down, listens to them, and shows them there is a path forward.
As a Wayne County prosecutor, Kevin charged and tried hundreds of firearm and weapons cases. He also handled numerous Fourth Amendment suppression motions, giving him firsthand experience with how search-and-seizure issues can shape whether a case moves forward.
Now, on the defense side, he uses that same knowledge to challenge how the weapon was found in the first place. If the traffic stop was bad, if the search went too far, or if your consent was pressured, the weapon may get thrown out. Without the weapon, the case often falls apart completely.
Beyond suppression, Kevin evaluates every available path: charge reductions, dismissals, diversion programs, sentence negotiations, or trial. The strategy depends on your facts, and the goal is always the same: protect your record, your freedom, and your rights.
