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.

DO NOT RETAIN THIS ATTORNEY
I literally met with him, he took my money, and that was the last conversation we had until the day before my hearing. I called and called. I texted and texted. He had the gall to get angry and confront me rudely about my persistence. Needless to say I did not have a good outcome and was jailed. ...

Bad Experience
Absolute worst lawyer ever! His prices are about $500 above average ( not including trial cost). If you try to ask him anything about your case or any information he is extremely short and gives you promises that he has no idea if he can keep . After paying him $2,000 and the court case approaching I...

Not worth your money
Jonathan ruined my case from prematurely insisting that I wave my preliminary, never ever wave your preliminary never, now I know, to having me show up late to court dates, lying, never answering my calls, only meeting with me just 4 days before trial to lying about filing motions. He's the absolute...

Case went on for 8 months, he seen her one time, which was the first time he met her and stay for 5 minutes and left. Therefore he doesn't know anything abou...

Replied last July 25, 2017I am sorry you were unhappy. It is always hard when a clients family faces the prospect of a loved one going to jail for any length of time. I understand that after almost 24 years of practice there will be a unhappy client or family member in the type of law I practice, but it is still disappointing. . Michigan ethics rules and professionalism prevent me from defending myself by discussing the facts of this client’s case. But I do feel it is important to note that all decisions regarding this client’s case were made with her full knowledge and consent. I strive to represent my clients to the highest standard and in a manner which leaves them satisfied with my efforts. .The great majority of my clients and colleagues would strongly disagree with you. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
