Selected Federal Trial Results in Michigan Courts

Federal prosecution in the Eastern & Western Districts of Michigan is not abstract. It means investigators who have spent years building a case, prosecutors with institutional resources, and charges that carry decades of exposure. Ronald Chapman II has stood in those courtrooms — and won.

Representative federal trial matters in Michigan include:

United States v. B. (E.D. Michigan 2022)

Defense acquittal of five physicians accused in a $550 million healthcare fraud and opioid prescribing prosecution. After trial, the jury returned verdicts clearing the doctors of all charges.

United States v. P. (E.D. Michigan 2022)

Federal jury acquittal of a pain specialist accused of operating a $6 million opioid prescribing scheme. The defense demonstrated that the physician’s prescribing practices fell within legitimate medical judgment.
