Larceny of Motor Vehicles or Trailers

Larceny of a Motor Vehicle or Trailer is a more specific kind of larceny described in MCL 750.356a. Similarly to general larceny, the charge can be either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on your criminal history, the amount of property stolen, etc. The attorneys of Garmo & Kiste, PLC have experience working in all of the metro Detroit courts with the very judges, prosecutors, and city attorneys who may be assigned your case. Our attorneys can use this experience to negotiate the charges, arrange a plea agreement, or even get the charges dropped. In some cases if you are eligible we can work to get you sentenced pursuant to a diversionary program so that after a period of probation and good behavior, your record will be clean. This is important because when it comes to looking for a job or a new apartment even if you have the same qualifications as another candidate, if you have a criminal record it makes you less desirable to employers and landlords. This is one of those cases where investing in a good attorney is an investment in your future.

Fixing your Credit Report

Recently, at Garmo & Kiste, PLC we have had some success in a new area of practice we opened based on client demand. Our client ran a successful out of state business. He had inherited and then sold a house in Detroit, MI. The new owner had owned the house for five years, then defaulted on a utility payment. The Utility company misreported the default on our client’s credit report instead of the new owners. After months of calling the company and trying to resolve the matter on his own, our client became fed up and decided it was time to get an attorney’s office involved. The company was much more responsive when we said we were calling from an attorney’s office and we were able to get the problem resolved quickly.

Banks and credit agencies have been playing fast and loose with laws and consumers pocket books for years, and many have issued false negative reports on people’s credit reports. This negative feedback can cost you thousands of dollars over time as it will result in higher interest rates and other upcharges. Getting your credit to reflect accurately can be a huge hassle. Let our experienced attorneys handle it for you.
