Shawn Haff

Firm: The Criminal Defense Law Center of West Michigan

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I have been a lifelong resident of West Michigan. I graduated from Hudsonville High School in 1993. I went on to Grand Valley State University where I earned two Bachelor degrees: Political Science and Legal Studies. While attending GVSU, I served on the Student Senate and made the Dean’s list on a regular basis. Seeing so many injustices within our political and judicial systems, I felt driven to attend law school.  While being trained on how to become a tough criminal defense lawyer, I received an Honor’s scholarship and Certification in Litigation. I made the Dean’s list numerous times, was actively involved in many student activities and received my Juris Doctorate.. I have honed my legal skills at a local prosecutor’s office, high-profile West Michigan law firms and from handling hundreds of criminal cases.  I believe in treating my clients with respect and dignity. I will fight for my client’s rights all the time! I am dedicated to providing my clients with aggressive and exceptional representation in all criminal matters. My legal skills have been proven in court, where I have an excellent track record in criminal jury trials.. I am a contrarian by nature and enjoy taking on the Government. I have a healthy skepticism of law enforcement and the police department.  This will be evident should I cross examine the cop that arrested you or that raided your house.. I live with my wife in Jenison, Michigan. We love to follow the Detroit Tigers and Lions.  We also enjoy fishing and Michigan’s great lakes.. I am a sincere attorney who really cares and spends time on his client's issues. I can handle all criminal matters and I can save you a lot of money when you are facing owi/dui or any other criminal charges.  My rates won't make you serve a life sentence of debt!. My initial consultation is totally free! I will personally handle your case from start to finish. Call me now at!.

Seth Bierlein

Firm: Higgs Bierlein Law Firm PLLC
1001 Center Ave , Bay City , Michigan 48708
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I grew up in a farming family in the tri-city area, and I'm grateful to continue to serve the mid-michigan communities where I grew up.  My passion for being a voice for those who don't have one started back on the school playground and continues to this day.  Today my practice focuses on criminal defense, alcohol/drug related driving offenses, michigan medical marijuana law, family law, and estate planning.. Prior to moving back home to Bay City, I worked in Lansing for the Michigan State Senate where I helped state senators craft and develop legislation on a variety issues ranging from agriculture to criminal justice reform.  My time with the Senate was very interesting, but I soon realized that helping clients indvidually in private practice was what I was meant to do.. Following my time with the Senate I worked with the Nichols Law Firm in East Lansing, where I helped to build criminal defense cases.  This was a great opportunity for me for me to work with excellent attorneys.  The Nichols Law Firm stays on the cutting edge of not only where the law is, but also weaknesses in the underlying science of evidence used in criminal defense cases.. Seth is a member of the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan, Michigan Association of OWI Attorneys, and the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

Every day I am in court fighting for someone just like you.. I am a real criminal defense attorney. I have tried cases to juries from East Lansing to Downriver and from Pontiac to Jackson.Based in Ann Arbor, I have represented people on felonies and misdemeanors in 13 circuit courts and 39 district courts.Many criminal defense attorneys advertise their past as prosecutors. The message from former prosecutors is they know the system well because they were a part of the system.. I advertise in the opposite way – I have never been a prosecutor. From the start I have been on your side and never a part of the system that is now against you.. I am from Ann Arbor, graduating from Pioneer High School and Eastern Michigan University. I attended law school at Michigan State University. After graduation I returned home and established ArborYpsi Law to serve the people in my community.
