Comprehensive Legal Representation Across Jurisdictions

When legal matters cross between state and federal jurisdictions, the details matter. State and federal courts have distinct procedures, laws, and enforcement standards. Our firm’s experience in both arenas allows us to craft strategies that align with the jurisdiction of your case while protecting your rights at every stage.

  • State Court Representation

    State law governs most criminal cases, civil disputes, and family law matters. In Michigan, state courts handle a wide range of issues, from property and business disputes to personal injury and domestic matters. Attorney Mark J. Newman has a deep familiarity with Michigan statutes and local court procedures, ensuring that every case receives meticulous attention.

  • Federal Court Expertise

    Federal cases often involve more complex litigation. These may include constitutional violations, federal crimes, interstate business disputes, or regulatory compliance issues. Our firm understands how to navigate the higher evidentiary standards and procedural nuances of the federal system, ensuring clients receive strong, well-prepared advocacy.

Protecting Your Rights Under Michigan and U.S. Law

Every case—whether civil or criminal—comes down to the protection of rights. Our role is to defend those rights under both state and federal statutes. The Law Offices of Mark J. Newman PLLC focuses on ensuring due process, fair hearings, and assertive representation from the first consultation to the final resolution.

Defense in Criminal Cases

Criminal charges can carry serious consequences. Our firm handles both state and federal criminal defense, including white-collar crimes, drug-related offenses, fraud, and more. We examine every element of the prosecution’s case and identify opportunities to challenge evidence or procedural errors.

Civil and Regulatory Disputes

Civil litigation at the state or federal level can involve government entities, businesses, or individuals. Whether you are pursuing damages or defending against claims, we provide tailored representation designed to achieve fair outcomes through negotiation or trial.

Strategic Legal Counsel for Complex Cases

The distinction between state and federal law is often subtle but critical. A case that begins under state jurisdiction may escalate to a federal issue if constitutional rights, interstate commerce, or federal regulations are involved. The Law Offices of Mark J. Newman PLLC applies a strategic lens to every situation, ensuring that jurisdictional issues are identified and addressed early.

Multi-Jurisdictional Litigation

Cases that span multiple jurisdictions require an attorney who understands procedural coordination. Our experience in both state and federal courtrooms allows us to manage filings, hearings, and appeals across systems without missing critical deadlines or requirements.

Appeals and Post-Conviction Relief

Our firm also handles appellate work for clients who seek to overturn or modify judgments. This includes both state and federal appeals, where legal interpretation and procedural precision are paramount.
