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.

Amazing Attorney
After 5 minutes consultation with MR jones I dropped a family friend lawyer quickly. he proved to be a total professional, Honorable and a fighter. I think he won the case because of those qualities and his closing arguments was simply amazing. My family and I are very proud of you, may God bless you...
