Jonathan Andrew Paul

I made the worst mistake of my life one night in June. I got into my car after a night of drinks. Turning out of the bar, I pulled onto a wrong way and was immediately pulled over. I blew enough to get charged with a high bac DUI. After the night from hell, I got on the web and started reading abou...t lawyers. I called a couple and they pretty much said there wasn't that much they could do for me in my county. Washtenaw county does not plea deal on high bac DUI charges AT ALL! I found Johnathan and emailed him! He responded immediately! He said he could help me and gave me a proactive plan to work on. I put in the work and learned a lot about what got me in this situation that night. I felt a tremendous amount of guilt about what I did and the community service piece of the plan gave me a way to give back! My court day came and we decided to go to bench trail. At the trial Johnathan was able to get my charges reduced to a regular DUI and NO PROBATION! The work paid off and I learned a lot during the process. I will not make this mistake again! If you find yourself in a tough situation and begin to loose hope...give Johnathan a call! It was worth it! Thanks a bunch! Sorry for the all my worry filled text messages and emails!

Jonathan Paul was amazing through my entire legal process. I received an open container ticket, and that day the paper work was already being filed. He was attentive, on top of everything, and always responded immediately to me emails or texts. He got my charges dismissed completely, where I only had... to pay a small civil fine. He made the stressful and anxiety provoking process much easier and more manageable, and he made me feel at ease the entire time. I highly recommend him and his team!

After I contacted him via email during the weekend, he replied immediately and asked for detail. After a few emails on that day, he asked me if I am willing to allow him to represent my son. My son was charged with "breaking and entering without owners permission". He and his friends had used the pla...ce to smoke weed. Once the case was taken up by him, he immediately sent me an email with what should be done. He also assured that his aim is to make sure that my son will not have anything in his records when the whole thing is over. We followed his advice, and my son was put on the minimum amount of probation with nothing to be done during probation period.

My 17yo son was arrested for shoplifting (first offense). I spoke to some friends and family that stated to just plead my case to the prosecutor and judge and hope for the best. Because I do not know the language and process of the court system I felt it better to find someone that does. After sea...rching the internet and making several calls my son and I decided to hire Mr. Paul. The goal set by Mr. Paul was to have my son complete 25 hours of community service, weekly CASA meetings, 4 hour online class, and personal counseling before going to court. Even though my son agreed to the process it was challenging at times to keep him engaged in the plan. On our first trip to court, the arraignment, Judge Jennifer Coleman Hesson ruled my son had completed everything she would have ordered and sentenced him to her minimum of 6 months of probation. My son also qualifies for the HYTA program. Attorney Jonathan Paul's experience allowed my son to get the least amount of punishment for his crime with only one trip to court. The crime will not show on his record if he successfully completes his probation. My son and I are so glad we decided to obtain a lawyer, especially Jonathan Paul. I am hopeful this will be the last time my son will appear before any judge. Jonathan's program worked.

Jonathan is a rock star attorney. He gave me excellent advice the same day I contacted him on how to proactively set the conditions for an outstanding outcome... and then he delivered. After being cited by AnnArbor police for open intox, Jonathan kept it simple, kept me on track, and away from overco...mplicating the problem. He knows the court and legal system inside out, and guided me step by step through the process. He and his staff handled everything by email and text from the pretrial meeting to the courtroom result. If I'd have tried to deal with this all myself, I'd have most likely been placed on probation, required to do an exorbitant amount of community service, been levied a huge fine, and been left with a criminal record. Instead, with Jonathan's expertise, my misdemeanor was reduced to a civil issue with a small fine. I couldn't be more pleased with the results.
