Thank you Attorney Bessant-

I am a native Detroiter who moved out of state a few years ago and left behind a legal matter that turned into a warrant for my arrest. I thought that it would be in my best interest to hire an attorney in Michigan to handle my case. After retaining (2) different lawyers within (1) year of absolutely... (0) results, I decided to sever my agreement with the second attorney and start all over again. After many calls and consultations, I found Kevin Bessant's website and decided to contact him. From our initial conversation, I felt confident that he was quite knowledgeable of my type of case (unemployment benefits fraud) and knew exactly what steps to take to help me get it resolved. After retaining Attorney Bessant, he quickly got me a court date and arranged to have all of the court matters, such as the arraignment, pre-trial and sentencing to occur on the same day- which saved me the time and expense of traveling back to Detroit multiple times. Upon appearing in court and meeting him, I observed that he is very well-respected and “connected” in the courtroom. My case was satisfactorily resolved within 8 days of our initial conversation!!! I am so grateful to Mr. Bessant for being there for me at a time when I was literally in tears and in fear of entrusting another lawyer. His services are top-notch and he is a true professional and pleasure to work with. I sincerely and whole-heartedly give my highest recommendation of Attorney Bessant's firm and legal services. He is simply the best!!

Hello Ciearl, I first want to apologize to you if I or anyone else in my office came across as being lackadaisical or non-interested in your situation when you called, as I strive to give every client and potential client the respect and attention they deserve when you contact my office concerning a legal matter. Furthermore, I find a failure to return phone calls as being completely unacceptable as we attempt to return all customer calls in a quick and timely fashion, usually within 24 hours or less. I will be sure to look into this to prevent this in the future. If by chance your 2006 Warrant is still active, and your situation remains unresolved, I invite you to contact our office again as soon as possible as I will look into your matter promptly, provided I have all of your personal information to research your warrant in an effort to reach a favorable outcome for you. You can also email us at kbessant@criminaldefensedetroitpllc.com. Thank you again for your input and hopefully we will have a future opportunity to serve you!

Expungement Case

After waiting 5 years to expunge my record I found myself in search of a educated attorney to handle my case. I can honestly say I could have not found a better attorney. Mr. Bessant was not only professional and well knowledgable on the expungment process but was honest and displayed exceptional com...munication skills. In all I am very greatful to Mr. Bessant for giving me a fresh start with no hassles or delays. The process was straight forward and did not take long at all. He is your attorney and your in good hands.

Professional, Motivated, Compassionate....highly recommend

I was looking for an attorney to handle my son's juvenile case. I was very apprehensive about a public defender. I called a couple Attorneys that came highly recommended but when I called, I spoke with their secretaries and never heard back from them or when I did speak to the Attorney, they made me ...feel like my case wasn't worth their time or money. I found Attorney Kevin Bessant on the Internet and decided to give him a try. I couldn't have been more pleased! The first time I called him, I was so shocked that HE actually answered the phone and not a secretary. He was EAGER to help, he was very patient and took time to explain everything about what my son was up against, during the very first phone call. Mr. Bessant returned phone calls, emails, texts, you name it. He kept me informed about my son's case and I was never left feeling despair. He was prepared on the day of the hearing and I was NOT NERVOUS at all. Attorney Kevin Bessant has compassion for his work and his client and he treated my son's case as if it was the only one he had. He is tenacious, knowledgeable and very well respected in the courtroom. I can't say enough good things about him and thank you doesn't seem like enough. Thank you so much Mr Bessant!
