Jonathan Andrew Paul

Hired Mr. Paul when my son received an MIP (MJ) during his FIRST week at college. Talk about a rocky start to what was supposed to be an exciting adventure. As soon as I contacted him, he jumped into action, giving my son direction (and confidence that this wouldn’t ruin his life…which he needed) a...nd working with the local prosecutor. We had the best result on the case that we could hope for. I’m a lawyer, myself (oh, the irony), and 100% recommend Mr. Paul. He is of the highest caliber and was a real blessing in a time of crisis.

Jonathan Paul not only talks the talk, he walks the walk. He responds to you in real time, if not close to it, and he tells you exactly what to expect and what you need to do. After that, it's up to you. Jonathan represented me in a possession of marijuana charge while I had another complaint pendin...g for the same charge. To complicate matters, I violated my probation in the first charge before my court date on the second charge. Jonathan doesn't mince words, and he told it to me straight, the good, the bad and the ugly. But he knew exactly what needed to be done, set a new plan into place for me, and delivered on everything he said. Jonathan got both of my charges dismissed with successful completion of probation. That part is up to me. I join the many others who highly recommended Jonathan. He will be a staunch advocate for you. I am convinced that because of him, I was given a second chance at having a clean record. Jonathan will get you the best possible outcome based on the circumstances of your case. Just do what he says!!

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.

In March 2015, my 19 year old son called me because he had gotten into trouble. While out of town for dinner in Novi, he turned right at a red light (which was prohibited). He was pulled over and the police officer asked if he had marijuana. He was truthful that he and his girlfriend did indeed have ...a small amount. They were arrested for possession, his car was impounded and they stayed in jail until they could be bailed out. Neither had been in trouble like this before and they were scared. Fearing that a conviction would result in a drug charge on his record, I sought an attorney who would be able to help him take responsibility for his actions but that his punishment not follow him for the rest of his life. I contacted a couple different attorneys who looked like they had a successful history defending cases like this. As I understood it, Oakland county is very strict in these situations. Ultimately, my husband, son and I felt like Jonathan met our needs. We liked his proactive approach. His approach was very beneficial for my son as well. He was able to grow as a person during the process and had learned a very valuable life lesson about one of the consequences of drugs. When they finally went to court, after meeting with a probation officer for his sentencing suggestions, the outcome was very successful. My son is on probation for 9 months, drug tests every other Monday, and ten hours of community service. Most importantly, there was dismissal of drug charges, a factor which could prevent him from obtaining employment or renting a apartment, etc in the future. Our family is very thankful we hired a proven lawyer who had our son's best interest in mind. He didn't just want to get him out of trouble, but wanted to make sure he learned a lesson and grew as a person. I would definitely recommend Jonathan Paul!

I started out my possession of weed case with another lawyer who I was unhappy with. After getting Jonathan Paul on the case things completely turned around for me. Jonathan quickly came up with a plan for me. He was able to get me on the right path and reverse the damage done by my former representa...tion. He kept me very well informed and responded very quickly. In the end I really enjoyed working with him and got the best outcome possible in my situation. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a lawyer.
