Understanding Michigan Law on Coercing Minors into Crime: Section 750.157c of the Michigan Penal Code Simplified

Section 750.157c of the Michigan Penal Code pertains to the recruiting, inducing, soliciting, or coercing of minors to commit a felony. In simple English, it means:

If a person who is 17 years old or older recruits, convinces, solicits, or forces a minor (someone who is less than 17 years old) to commit or try to commit an act that would be considered a felony (a serious crime) if committed by an adult, they are committing a felony.

The person who instigated the crime can be punished by imprisonment for up to the maximum length of time allowed by law for the act they persuaded the minor to commit. Additionally, they may be fined up to three times the amount that is authorized as a fine for that act by law.

Simply put, it's a serious crime in Michigan for an adult to manipulate a minor into committing a felony, with punishments including prison time and potentially heavy fines.

When this guy says he's a BOSS Attorney he really means it, he got a case dismissed for me when another reputable attorney told me I was getting two points no matter what. Randy went in the prosecuting attorneys office like a boss and came out with a dismissal, Thanks for living up to your name. This man is a LIVING LEGEND!

I am a family law attorney (and do not handles the same types of matters as Randy), but I know Randy well enough to make this recommendation. I endorse Attorney Randy Babi without hesitation.
