Mike Nichols became the first lawyer to use a new law successfully in Newaygo County. The law allows a 1st time minor in possession (MIP) offender to keep his record clean. The Judge indicated on the record that the Court there never granted such a motion, but felt that the case was appropriate for the request made by Mike Nichols on behalf of his client. Nichols said: “the prosecutor warned me that the judge just did not grant MIP deferral requests but I knew that I needed to go for it for this client”. |
