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.

Legal Representation
I was immediate impress when I called to hear Jones pick up phone. I had called several attorneys prior and he was the only one live and responsive to my needs. He was quick to get things rolling and my case settled. I highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Replied last March 23, 2016LaShon One of my main goals is to be available and clean things up as quickly as possible. My job is not 9-5 and people can't usually plan in advance when they are going to need my help. Thanks for the high recommendation.
