If You Were, Or Have Been Charged With A Pandemic Crime in Grand Rapids

During the Covid-19 pandemic, people have been impacted in every aspect of their life. If you or a loved one has been busted for retail fraud for example,  your loved one or you are part of an increase called pandemic crime. Certain kinds of crimes are on the rise during the covid-19 pandemic. People have been forced to remain in their homes and with people they live with for long periods of time. In Michigan, domestic violence arrests have gone up quite a bit. Because of the financial hardship caused by Whitmer’s lockdown, Attorney Shawn Haff has seen a rise of retail fraud and larcenies in West Michigan. Shawn is here to help you if you get charged with a pandemic crime. Shawn is sensitive to the issues and concerns caused by Covid. Shawn has gotten great results for his client during these challenging times.

The increase of pandemic crime has created more criminal cases in our court system here in West Michigan and this is part of the reason why trials are so backed up. Kent County has not had a trial since March of 2020. The covid-19 pandemic has changed how courts do business. Almost all courtrooms have transitioned to zoom or virtual court. The reason this was done was to protect court staff and the general public from getting sick.  Shawn knows how to handle virtual court effectively and how judges across West Michigan approach virtual court.  Many times pretrial conferences can be handled ahead of time, but you need an attorney like Shawn who knows the local prosecutors and who is also proactive like Shawn is.  Just like before the pandemic hit, Shawn is here for you to get the best results possible. Do not wait if you are facing criminal charges to contact Shawn, call him now at 616-438-6719. The call is free, so call Shawn now. Do not hire another lawyer before you have talked to Shawn.
