"I have gone to trial for those who have been falsely accused. There is a presumption of innocence in all criminal cases. You need an attorney to remind those in our system that you are a human being, and that you will not allow the government to rush you into a plea you didn't understand. Let me talk to you about your options."

For years, Dino Papadopoulos has proven he is a fighter in the criminal courts, and is doing so here in Michigan. In Florida, he represented thousands of clients facing everything from Misdemeanors to Felony charges that carried the potential for life sentences. He has an excellent success rate in achieving Not Guilty jury verdicts. More importantly, he stopped aggressive and politcally motivated prosecutors from railroading his clients. Greed was never a motivation, as Mr. Papadopoulos fought for each and every client for a greater purpose; the freedom and peace of mind that hard working people can be treated fairly, and the knowledge that no one can take away your right to a fair trial. He has brought these skills back home to this great state of Michigan, where even though people are suffering, arrest rates have remained high.
Dino Papadopoulos grew up in the Downriver area, and is proud to give back to the entire Southeast Michigan community. Do not hire a lawyer because of image, hire them for their results. Why don't people ask prospective lawyers about their achievements?

Of course, the majority of cases in the criminal courts do not go to trial. The reason is that sometimes, honest and hard working people make mistakes. But that is not a reason that they can be treated like numbers and sentenced without knowing that they found the best resolution. Do not allow any court to convince you that you do not need an attorney. It is not the Judge's or Prosecutor's job to tell you all the ramifications of a particular plea. Some Judges might take the time to provide limited guidance to a Defendant, but they are forced by the rules of our profession to not give you legal advice. Dino Papadopoulos can give the assurance that your result was the best one possible.
