A:
It's critical to secure legal representation if you believe your rights are being infringed upon during a criminal proceeding. In cases where evidence may exonerate a defendant, such as the DNA testing you mentioned, a lawyer can file the necessary motions to compel the court to consider this testing. Given the gravity of a habitual offender charge and the potential sentence you're facing, having an attorney who can navigate the complexities of your case and advocate for your rights is essential. They can also examine the details surrounding the searches and seizures to ensure that your constitutional rights haven't been violated.
If you feel your current representation isn't adequately addressing these concerns, you may want to consider seeking a second opinion from another attorney licensed in Michigan who handles criminal defense cases. Acting swiftly is crucial, as timelines in the criminal justice system are often very strict.
