It is being reported that Guy Tellis, a 26-year-old Warren resident shot at a Wide Open West employee who was attempting to disconnect his cable last Friday.  Warren Police Detective William Ashcraft reportedly said a WOW employee knocked on Tellis’ door around 11:30 Friday morning to inform him he was shutting off the cable.  Nobody answered.  The technician went to the backyard and climbed the pole where the cable was connected.  At that time, Tellis allegedly came to the door wall of the home and pointed a gun at the man.  As the cable worker was trying to get down off the pole, he claims he “heard what he thought was a gun shot.”  Warren police came to the house and arrested Tellis.  A handgun was recovered. 

Tellis was arraigned late Monday and charged with one count of felonious assault.  A preliminary examination is scheduled for December 7^th.

If you have been arrested for a crime in Wayne or Oakland County, you'll need to decide whether to hire a private criminal defense lawyer or a public defender to defend your case.

Although a public defender is a free service offered by the government, you should strongly consider the benefits of hiring a private criminal defense attorney at the Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman.  Public defenders are often burdened with more work than they can feasibly handle. The county will pile case upon case until a public defender is swimming in cases to defend.  For this reason, public defenders often do not have the same amount time to devote to a case the same way private criminal lawyers do. This means less attention to detail, and ultimately less time the public defender has to spend finding ways to get your charges reduced or dismissed.

At Freedman & Freedman, we control the amount of criminal cases we accept, and never take on more work than we can handle.  We prefer to work this way, so that we can devote 100% of our time, energy, and resources to providing our clients with best defense possible.  Not only do we work hard in collecting evidence and testimony, but we also take the time to thoroughly review police reports to determine whether or not our client’s constitutional rights were violated.  Furthermore, before heading to trial we always spend a great deal of time preparing our arguments and finding the strategies we feel would be most effective in defending our clients.  In addition, we make ourselves available at all times to answer our clients’ questions, address their concerns, and provide them with much needed advice and guidance.

If you are facing criminal charges in Oakland or Wayne County, you can trust an experienced Michigan criminal defense attorney at the Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman to aggressively defend you throughout the criminal process.  To schedule a consultation to discuss your case, please fill out a free case evaluation or click here to contact the office today!
