Conspiracy & Solicitation Defense

Defending Conspiracy and Solicitation Charges in Grand Rapids and West Michigan

Defending Against Conspiracy Allegations

Conspiracy is a unique and powerful tool used by prosecutors. Under MCLA 750.157a, you can be charged with a crime simply for agreeing with another person to commit an illegal act, even if the act itself never takes place. Because these cases often rely on circumstantial evidence and witness testimony, having an experienced defense team is essential.

Krupp Law Offices P.C. has been providing high-quality criminal defense for over 85 years. Our attorneys are former prosecutors who understand the complexities of conspiracy and solicitation statutes and how to build a robust defense against them.
