Best Crimininal Defense Lawyer in Michigan!!!!

When I found myself facing charges I was quite lost. Took to the internet to find attorneys as I knew none. Spoke with about half a dozen lawyers and had a couple appointments set up before I reached Attorney Kevin Bessant. First I received his voicemail and left a message, doubting I'd hear a resp...onse. I don't think a full 10 minutes passed before he called me back. He listened as I explained my predicament and when I was done he started firing questions. He was immediately interested and invested. I immediately knew I was in good hands, I honestly felt better. So much so that right after we hung up i cancelled all the other appointments and was in his office the next day! He knew what to ask, knew what the processes and laws were, knew the prosecutor and judge and their habits pertaining to cases. It was clear this was not his first rodeo and that he was passionate about his craft. He made sure he had all the information and understood the case correctly, and did not bring up payments until the end of our meeting. Upon leaving his office I felt like I had made the best decision and that I was in the best hands!! He didn't disappoint or make false promises. Everything went as he said it would when both him and I did out parts (him as my attorney and I as a defendant). I was facing Retail Fraud to a 3rd degree. He got my case Dismissed on pre-trial, and provided me with valuable information on how to get my fingerprint and arrest card destroyed (other attorneys charge for this) so that my record is cleared. This man is very good at what he does and you feel a certain sense of relief every time you speak with him knowing that "He Got This"! One of the best decisions I have made in my life was hiring him. If you have a criminal case contact Kevin Bessant, If he tells you he can help you. HE CAN and WILL if you let him!

Expungement that was contested by prosecutor

I hired Attorney Bessant after a prosecutor protested my expungement. He is very knowledgable about expungements. I'd gone from being a professional without a record to a person who was picking up trash just to make ends meet due to my record. Attorney Bessant Saw through that and treated me ...with respect and dignity. He comprised a payment plan for the service I needed. It was worth the cost. He comprised a plan that allowed my record to be expunged and now I no longer have a criminal record. Praise God for Attorney Bessant. He's a person that is real and you can trust his professional abilities. I'd refer him to any one.

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.

A Great Attorney Who Truly Cares!!!!

I hired Attorney Kevin Bessant after viewing his expungement video on Youtube. For years my criminal record was holding me back so I wanted a good attorney who would handle my case effectively. From the moment I contacted Mr. Bessant I knew he was trustworthy and truly cared about my situation. He to...ok the time to listen to my situation over the phone, then he invited me to meet face to face at his downtown office to talk further. Mind you, he never once pressured me or simply told me "how much he charges" as most other attorney's do. Attorney Kevin Bessant not only got my criminal record expunged, but he also referred me to my new employer who hired me after the first interview. I can not say enough about Attorney Kevin Bessant and I would recommend his services to anyone. THANKS!!!

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!
