also known as Jonathan M. Jones Attorney at Law PLLC, AllCriminalCases
Criminal defense is all I do! I have been practicing exclusively criminal law since 1995, representing clients in all criminal matters, including:
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.

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. ...

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...
