Protecting The Rights Of Defendants In Grand Rapids And Throughout Michigan

Your Fearless Champion In The Legal Arena
The criminal justice system stands as a formidable, well-resourced adversary. Many individuals find it overwhelming and almost impossible to confront such a powerful entity, making it essential to have a skilled and fearless defender to challenge its might.
At the Law Office of James K. Champion, PLLC, I stand up for defendants in Michigan. Whether your charges are related to drugs, violent or sexual assault, or white collar offenses, I will aggressively advocate for your rights inside and outside of court.
I have over 25 years of experience representing the accused. I am well-equipped to fight for you.

A Proven Record Of Successful Results
When confronting criminal charges, the defense attorney you choose can greatly impact your experience and the outcome of your case. My extensive experience and track record speak for themselves. I have achieved favorable outcomes, such as acquittals or reduced sentences, even in the toughest cases.
After being charged or arrested, individuals often face mistreatment at the hands of a biased or indifferent criminal justice system. These setbacks can sometimes contribute to unfair outcomes or a violation of rights. I am committed to tackling these challenges for you while handling your case diligently and with maximum care.

Prepared To Fight For What Is Right For You
I understand the urgency of your situation and your desire to move forward as soon as possible. While other attorneys may push you into accepting a plea deal, it is important to consider whether it is truly fair to you or if they only want to close your case quickly.
You can have full confidence I am committed to pursuing the best outcome possible for you, rather than rushing to a resolution. As your legal champion, I will not hesitate to keep fighting if a plea deal or the available options do not serve your interests.
