About Jonathan
Biography
Criminal defense is all I do! I have been practicing exclusively criminal law since 1995, representing clients in all criminal matters, including:
- Drug Charges
- Homicide/Murder
- Criminal Law - Federal (White Collar Crime)
- DUI/DWI
- Sex Crimes
- Assault & Battery - Plaintiff
- Traffic Violations
- Fraud
- Assault
- Guns and Weapon Charges
- Domestic Violence
- Computer Crimes
- Juvenile Crimes/MIP
- Robbery/Theft
- Probation Violation
- Expungement
I spend most of my day in court, which means I have the experience and confidence you require when it is time for you to have your day in court.
My experience as a CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY is supported by my work in the District and Circuit courts throughout Michigan and other states as well.
I am equally comfortable presenting your case to the judge at a bench trial or to your peers at a jury trial.
100% of my practice is devoted to criminal defense.

One of the worst decisions
Received a first DUI about 6 years ago. Mr. Jones was the first lawyer I found in Royal Oak DUI Lawyer Google Search. I reached out via phone. He calmed my anxiety and I was able to relax and go see him the next business day. Very chatty and appears to be a master at virtue signaling. I paid the $2,0...

License Restoration - 2nd DUI
Jonathan worked very hard for me though the entire process and all of its stages. I was very well prepared for the final hearing after following all of his advice. I confidently recommend him to everyone I know and I am SO grateful to finally have my life back!

Horrible Attorney, stay clear
Good luck getting hold of this attorney after you pay the fees. He did not show up on zoom and left my divorce attorney to handle the PPO which did not end well. He will make you promises till he gets paid then its like you never hired him! I will sue him for gross negligence once my divorce is over....

Wouldn’t recommend
Hired this lawyer for my husband he did not even go see him in jail did not even attempt to talk to him on the phone. Very poor communication skills after you pay him. My husband was just rolling with the punches at court not knowing his attorney was telling the court he was going to plead guilty wit...
