Michigan Defense Attorney Mark Satawa Saved My Son

Satawa Law Continues Its Run Of Success

Mark Satawa and attorney Steve Palmer won a not guilty in an Ohio self-defense murder case. The client, “Steve,” a hard working father and husband was leaving for work one morning, when he stumbled on a woman sitting on the ground, with her back against a guardrail, in a ball, with a man standing over her, and the woman screaming “get off me.” Steve gets out of the car with a rifle, and says “get off her.” The guy eventually turns around, and starts screaming “I’m not afraid of a gun, go ahead, shoot me in the head!” Steve backs up, yelling “please stop please stop I don’t wanna shoot you.” The victim gets less than a foot from Steve, grabs for the barrel of the gun, and Steve shoots. The jury deliberated for 4 hours, before finding Steve NOT GUILTY of all charges.

A hard working husband and father gets his life back. When it comes to very serious criminal charges, where heavy lifting is needed, including self-defense, Satawa Law will defend your rights, and protect your future.

After a contested preliminary exam, that consisted of several hearing dates spanning over one year, a district court judge found that there was insufficient evidence to find that “probable cause exists that the crimes charged were committed and that [client] committed them. Accordingly the court does not find probable cause to bind over on any of the charges.” Court went on to order “that all charges are DISMISSED.

As experts and specialists in sexual assault, we are often asked — is it true that sex crimes and sexual assault is under reported?

Well, the answer is interesting. While there are multiple studies that sex crimes are, in fact, the most under reported crime, that is only half the story. Because at the same time they are as many (or even more) studies that show that sexual assault is also the most over reported crime, and by a large margin.
