The Experience To Defend Against All Criminal Charges
I am Jim Champion, a criminal trial lawyer. At my criminal defense practice in Grand Rapids, I defend clients throughout the state of Michigan against a wide variety of criminal charges, ranging from sex crimes to capital murder.
When facing severe criminal charges, it is imperative to have a lawyer in your corner who has helped individuals through similar situations. I represent people charged with all sorts of crimes, and I never back down from defending the rights of those charged with very serious offenses. In my 25+ years of practicing criminal law, I have defended clients in 42 of 83 counties in the state of Michigan, and have experience in both state and federal courts.
I am highly experienced in resolving:
- Drug crimes: I defend against charges involving manufacturing and trafficking drugs as well as major drug conspiracy charges involving prescription drugs.
- White collar crimes: From fraud and embezzlement to insider trading and major RICO charges.
- Domestic violence: I defend clients involved in domestic assault cases and against false allegations of abuse.
- Sex crimes: These can include rape, sexual abuse, internet sex crimes, and sex crimes involving minors, such as child molestation and underage pornography.
- Murders: These include homicide, manslaughter, first-degree and second-degree murder.

The Knowledge Of A Lawyer, The Skill Of A Businessman
Before becoming an attorney, I spent over a decade as a successful private businessman. My business background gives me a broader perspective than an attorney who knows only the legal world. As a business person, I learned how to successfully sell my products to boards and executives. Today, I successfully sell my clients’ innocence to prosecutors, judges and juries.
A Dedicated Defender Of The Accused
The criminal justice system is a powerful and impersonal entity that often does not have the best interests of the accused at heart. If you’ve been accused of a crime, it is crucial that you speak to an experienced and aggressive defense attorney before you speak with law enforcement. The police aren’t interested in making sure your rights have been upheld or that your side of the story has been considered; I am.
I am devoted to ensuring that my clients’ rights are upheld, no matter how severe a crime they’ve been accused of committing. When your freedom is at stake, this is the type of champion you need at your side.
