April 21, 2021 - PLEA WITHDRAWAL GRANTED - RESISTING/OBSTRUCTING POLICE
Mitch's client had taken bad advice from an appointed attorney in Oakland County to plead no contest to resisting police. Before he was sentenced, the client hired an excellent attorney who wanted to take this case to trial. Before anything could happen, the no contest plea had to be withdrawn. Mitch filed a motion to withdraw his client's no contest plea arguing that his client was innocent and that the police had made an illegal arrest and that the previous attorney was ineffective for giving bad advice to the client about the client's ability to sue the police. Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Shalina Kumar granted Mitch's motion. Later, Judge Kumar granted a motion to quash finding that the officer did not have any grounds to make an arrest. Case dismissed.
