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.

Beyond Amazing & a great Attorney.

The best Lawyer
Best money Spent! He answered all my questions, and was very friendly to me. He didn't treat me like a sub human being. He is a true friend, and not a Walmart greedy lawyer. I would recommend him to friends, and family. You want your life back? Hire Mr. Jones!
