He saved someone I consider my child

I hired Bill for a young woman I consider family — she was facing very serious charges, no prior record, and was terrified. Bill took control of the situation immediately. He knew exactly how to navigate the court, the prosecutors, the system. He got her a resolution that kept her record clean and ga...ve her a second chance at life. Today she's a manager, a business owner, and a mother. None of that happens without Bill Colovos. If you need a criminal defense attorney in the Downriver area who actually cares and knows what he's doing, hire him. I can't thank him enough

He is available 24/7. Very patient.

I will always recommend Bill for any problems with your license. He is a great communicator and knows this atea of the law. His fees are very reasonable, half the price of other lawyers.He always is available to talk and puts things in perspective. AAA!

Highly recommend

Outstanding lawyer!!! Was facing 2 felonies and a misdemeanor based off accusations back in 2023 he sat in a jury trial for me. For ones that don't have success. He can only present what you give him. Do your own homework look for anything that he can present. He will use everything you collect. Afte...r jury I was found not guilty on all charges. Courts will try to leave things out of discover even knowingly that it is misconduct. City Hall keeps everything on file and is public. They will delete videos as in my case which would of been even better for my case, but luckily it wasn't needed to prove my innocence. If you have a poor case finding anything outside your discovery get copies and spend time going through it to find evidence. Do some research. Your attorney is your teammate at winning your case. For the negative post, Bill can only use what is presented to him. With that is going to be what is represented to the courtroom. An attorney is there to represent you, you are there to present. I was even given an opportunity to have the 2 felonies dropped and plea guilty of the misdemeanor. If you both agree there's a strong case of your innocence trust him and if he tells you that you don't have a chance after reviewing everything, then take that advice.

Compassionate and reliable with a stellar record of wins

Bill is a compassionate lawyer who truly cares about his clients. He treats them as if they are family. He has an excellent rapport with his colleagues which helps when he goes into negotiations with the prosecution. Bill helped me beat my case seemlessly! I will not hesitate to use him and recommend... him to anyone looking for an excellent criminal/traffic lawyer with an impeccable record and a true professional!

Gets the Job Done

We hired Bill to work my husband’s DUI case. We had hired another guy who seemed timid and afraid of the court system, Bill was the total opposite. He came out the gate swinging and getting things done. We live in Texas and were being told that my husband had 14 days to turn himself in or be found in... contempt. Bill went to the judge and handled this himself. My husband did not have to turn himself into the court. When the trial date arrived, we noticed that my husband’s name was not on the docket. The prosecuting attorneys office had dismissed the case but did not make anyone else aware of that fact. Keep in mind, we had to fly from Texas, get a rental car and hotel accommodations which all came out of our pocket. This upset Bill more than us. He then demanded that the case be dismissed with prejudice (they cannot come back and try to charge him later) to which the court agreed. Bill is also taking things a step further and helping us recoup some of the money spent since they could’ve told us earlier that the case was dismissed. My only regret is not hiring Bill first. If you’re looking for someone to fight for you, then this is your guy!
