Thanks for the help Mr. Bessant

I recently hired Mr. Bessant to handle a drug case for me he was sure he could get it dropped down and he did everything in his power to keep the felony off my record and he did. I will use him again if I ever have any legal issues.

Great Attorney

One of the best decisions I've made to this date was to hire attorney Kevin Bessant. When I first contacted Mr. Bessant on the phone and explained my situation he was very thorough and forthright. After being on the phone for nearly 45 seconds explaining my case he then took about ten minutes to des...cribe some of the things that could occur if I went into court without legal representation. It was not a scare tactic nor a tactic used to pump out his chest and say hire me. He wanted me to have all of the information that I needed before hiring an attorney or deciding to choose him. I spoke with other attorney's who made my situation sound like doom and gloom and if I hired them I would have the best representation. I never felt comfortable with the others I spoke with so I decided to go with Kevin. Best decision I could have ever made. Kevin was there the entire process. When I called, emailed or text he would get back with me in a timely fashion and explain what was going on with my case. When it was time to go to court Mr. Bessant was able to work with the local prosecutor and get my case reduced to where it wouldn't go on my record and I didn't have to go to jail. During the process, Kevin was always very professional, knowledgeable and honest about what I was facing. He truly did a great job the entire way and now and I can go ahead and concentrate on my life and not worry about the legal cloud that was over my head. In closing I would recommend Kevin Bessant to anyone looking for a great defense attorney.

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!!

Retaining Mr Bessant is THE best thing I could have ever done!! GREAT at what he does!

I was so nervous for a long time about my case. I called Mr. Bessant and told him about my case. And he told me what he wanted to do with my case in court and told me his retainer fee (extremely affordable!) If you ask me he should charge more for what he does for people! I retained him and he told m...e what to expect in court and what he would do for me and on the day of my court date he did exactly what he said he would do. I had a VOP on a major charge, he got my probation closed and he got my hyta status retained. I am no longer facing prison time, and my criminal record is clean. Seriously Mr. Bessant is an amazing lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone facing the courts or legal troubles. He is very good at what he does and he does what he says he's going to do. I can live an anxiety free life now and I don't have to look over my shoulder everywhere I go anymore! If you read this Mr. Bessant , THANK YOU again for what you did for me and my future!!

GLAD WE HIRED ATTORNEY KEVIN BESSANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having never been in trouble for anything my entire life, I was dumb founded to find myself in the crazy situation I was in. Having been locked up in jail for defending myself against my attackers, and have little to no faith in our "justice system & police", I was in need of a good attorney to prote...ct me in this situation. Because I was accused as being the aggressor in the situation against two people, I was charged criminally and was treated by the police like a criminal when I was the victim. Even being the innocent party in this situation the foreseeable outcome was not looking good with the charges I faced. It really opened my eyes to when the system thinks you are a criminal. The police and prosecutors will pursue you as such and only believe the story of the alleged "victims", even when the story being told is one of lies. At that point I knew my life was on the line. Thankfully I had one of the best attorneys on my side. Attorney Kevin Bessant was able to get me the best outcome for my situation. I did not get any jail time, and I was able to keep my job along with maintaining my reputation. Even though this was a situation I should never have been put in, I am grateful that I had Attorney Kevin Bessant on my side. So if you are ever in need of a great Criminal Defense Attorney, he's the one to call. He really works for you, because this "justice system" is designed to lock you up if you choose the wrong attorney.
