Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

It depends. Could be all 4 years.

Uttering and publishing is a four year felony. If convicted of that and the 4th habitual, one could potentially go away for fifteen years max. However, Michigan's sentencing guidelines, at the high end there are minimums between 17 and 60 months and at the lowest end are minimums of probation to six months. It just depends on your individual circumstances. http://www.wolverinelaw.com .
