Excellent representation for legal defense and divorce

Julian Poota represented my son in a charge of theft of property and with his expertise in legal matters got the charge reduced to 2 counts of blockading traffic that carried no points that would show on his record and a small fine. The theft of property charge was dismissed. We are extremely happy... and relieved with this verdict. Julian also represented my son's divorce proceedings and was able to negotiate a very positive settlement agreement. My son was able to get everything he felt was his personal property, along with a fair and equitable financial settlement that Julian managed with an upwardly revised appreciation on the property. Julian consistently made himself available via phone, text, or in person, and proved to be a true legal professional during these difficult times. We very much appreciated all he has done for us. Thank you Julian!

Would highly recommend Mr Poota

I was pulled over and charged with a misdemeanor in Warren. I deciderd to get a lawyer and saw that Mr Poota had good reviews so hired him. He was very nice and honest during the consultation about what he is going to try and do to the charge against me. He explained it very well of what could happen... in court and that he is going to try and get me the possible outcome. In the end he did a wonderful job in court got my charges reduced aviode jail time and walked out of the court feeling a lot better knowing that this was over. I would hioghly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer, he did a wonderful job. I would gladly hire him again if I need his services.

My story..

In early August of 2017 while driving east bond on 8mile road in Oak Park Michigan. I was heading to a friend's gathering when i was pulled over for speeding.. I had open intox in my vechile and I forgot to correctly secure my fire arm.. Mr.Poota took my case . I am a corrections officer and have be...en with my force for over 4yrs. Julisn fought diligently to get my chargers reduces in order for me to keep my job.. He was wonderful in explain his plain of attack. He's was fearless and easy going.. Very easy to talk to. My chargers where reduced and I have since returned back to work full-time . I would highly recommend Julian Poota and his law office to represent fellow law enforcement brothering.

Romulus Speeding Ticket

I live out of state, and I needed someone to attend court on my behalf for a traffic matter. Julian took care of my case quickly and efficiently for a very fair price. Communication was timely and effective, and the matter was resolved within two weeks.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
