Legal issues related to child support can have very significant effects on children and their parents. So, it can be critical to have the help of an experienced attorney — a lawyer who can recognize and protect your interests under the law. At Garton & Vogt, P.C., this is what we do for our clients.

Attorneys at our Clinton Township, Michigan, law firm use 20 years of legal experience to make smart decisions that get results. We handle a wide range of child custody matters, from helping couples determine child custody and parenting time in a divorce, to enforcing custody or modifying it when a parent moves out of state. We can also help grandparents with some child custody and visitation matters.

- Trucking Accident

When a large 18-wheeler crashes into a small passenger car, it is the truck that wins. And the car passengers are often killed or left with severe and lifelong injuries. We understand how devastating this can be for people and their families. That's why we have devoted our law practice to getting the best possible results for trucking accident victims.

- Car Accident

Sadly, many people are seriously injured or killed in Michigan car crashes each year. Many of these seriously injured peoples' lives will never be the same. In addition to the devastating emotional consequences and physical pain, they may require a lifetime of special care. Their needs are best met with legal action that holds negligent drivers accountable for the harm they cause. At Garton & Vogt, P.C., we can help.

- Motorcycle Accident

Because they are not protected by the steel frame of a car, many motorcycle riders experience serious injuries in a wreck. These include lost limbs, spinal cord injuries and paralysis and traumatic brain injury. It takes an experienced lawyer to handle these serious injuries. At Garton & Vogt, P.C., in Clinton Township, Michigan, we have the experience, skill and courtroom knowledge to get you the best possible results.

- Assault and Battery

When you are accused of a violent crime, including allegations of domestic violence, Garton & Vogt, P.C. offers effective legal representation to help you minimize or avoid the consequences of a conviction.

- Criminal Sexual Conduct / Rape

The state of Michigan and the federal government take allegations of criminal sexual conduct very seriously. Penalties can have a life-changing effect on those convicted. Some convicted sex offenders face life imprisonment. Many more face long prison sentences and harsh fines, as well as a 25 year registration requirement. This requirement limits the places you can live and work, and it ensures that your neighbors will know about your criminal past.

- Drug Cases / Trafficking

Our Clinton Township, Michigan, law firm — Garton & Vogt, P.C. — represents people accused of drug crimes including possession, distribution and trafficking of drugs. We are well equipped to handle drug charges with effective, results-oriented criminal defense.

- Drunk Driving

When it comes to drunk driving charges, having the right attorney makes a difference. The right attorney knows all aspects of your case — from the law on the initial stop, to the field sobriety tests, the breathalyzer, and other elements of fact and law. At Garton & Vogt, P.C., in Clinton Township, Michigan, we are the right attorneys.

- Internet Sex Crimes

With the increase of use of the Internet, the government has gotten tougher on Internet sex crimes. More and more resources are being dedicated to catching and prosecuting people under Internet sex crime allegations. In our state, the Michigan State Police Computer Crimes Unit (CCU) is a special police unit dedicated to investigating Internet crimes, including Internet sex crimes. The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force uses federal funding to investigate alleged perpetrators of Internet sex crimes.

- Larceny / Robbery

The crime of larceny involves theft without a weapon, like shoplifting or retail fraud. Larceny elevates to robbery, however, when a weapon is involved. In Michigan, armed robbery is a very serious crime, but the lawyers at Garton & Vogt, P.C. have the knowledge and experience to handle it well, helping you achieve the results you need and deserve.

- Murder / Homicide

Facing murder charges is one of the most difficult things a person can go through in their lifetime. Knowing that life in prison is at stake, it is important to work with an experienced criminal defense attorney — someone who has what it takes to get you the results you need.
