Helped drop 3 counts against me
Judy was extremely helpful during a crazy point in my life. I made a stupid mistake and had three misdemeanor charges against me. Judy never promised me anything but to do her best and ultimately try to get the charges dropped. Lone and behold instead of probation, drug testing, or jail time the cha...

Good to have in your side
I am a physician who was charged with a myriad of bogus things over a misunderstanding. Having Judy on my side to fight for me was the best decision I made and we came to a positive outcome. I would highly recommend her services
Hope you are well and your career is taking off. Wish you were closer because I would definitely make you my doctor. Judy

They just assumed that being on probation and jumping through a dozen hoops and paying an ungodly amount of money to them, courts and ADAM, was what we wanted to do...IT WA...

"Mrs. Coleman is highly competent and extremely professional when it comes to the cases that she handles. She is a true asset to the Michigan legal community, to her clients, and to those seeking legal help. I would not hesitate to recommend Mrs. Coleman to my own clients if they were in need."
"I refer all of my probate and estate work to Judy she is a great resource for anyone in need of these sources. Keep up the good work!"
"I met with Judy this past fall as a fellow lawyer in the Livonia community, and have seen her active on social media helping others with extreme patience and excellent legal knowledge. I have referred her some clients in the family law arena, but I know she is well versed in other areas as well. I think she is a top choice for someone looking for an attorney that takes each client and matter seriously and gives it full attention."
