Daniel R. Fagan

Mr. Fagan's criminal practice is split between United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan and state criminal cases in Grand Rapids, Kent County, Ottawa, Muskegon, Newaygo and outlying counties. In State courts Mr. Fagan has handled hundreds of cases, from Drunk Driving causing Death cases to serious robbery and arson cases. Vigorous pretrial discovery and determined efforts have created excellent results for my clients.

Federal offenses often have extremely high penalties and can result in sentences exceeding thirty years. In this complicated area of practice Mr. Fagan has obtained multiple acquittals and convictions of lesser charges.

Although Attorney Fagan does not advertise himself as a "personal injury attorney", he has handled dozens of cases on behalf of the injured and has recovered very sizable awards for many clients. Among his many recoveries, Mr. Fagan successfully pursued a "dram shop" case where the at-fault driver had been served excessively at a bar. The at-fault driver was uninsured, but Mr. Fagan was able to establish that the bar was in fact responsible, recovering over a half-million dollar award.

OUIL cases cause enormous difficulties for people who have often had no other contact with the police or the criminal justice system. The consequences of a Drunk Driving conviction arrest and conviction, not limited to possible jail time, but also resulting in serious ongoing financial penalties and restriction or suspension of licensing. Over the years I have carefully kept up to date on all developments in this area of the law and have been able to obtain great results for my clients.
