Best Felony Criminal Attorney In Michigan

Attorney Bessant is incredible. He is diligent and doesn’t back down. Through my case he has been communicative, knowledge, patient, understanding, and fierce. Answers day or night. We are almost to the end and without Kevin I’m not sure id be in as good of a position as I am. Highly recommend. He is... simply the best when it comes to representation for criminal matters. Would never recommend anyone else! Always always will recommend Kevin to anyone having the unfortunateness of dealing with criminal matters in Michigan!

Best possible choice for criminal defense.

In what could have been an open and shut case against me by the prosecution Kevin Bessant was the best decision i made. I was facing felony drug and misdemeanor drug possession charges. Kevin was able to convince the prosecutor to drop the felony charge if i plead guilty to the misdemeanor charge. He... was also successful in getting the judge to sentence me immediately so the process was not dragged out, and cost me more time missed from work. He was able to convince the judge for a light and fair sentence of 12 months probation, with a possibility of having it dropped to six months. Kevin worked with me on making payments and took my case with paying him only a fraction of his retainer fee upfront. He returned my phone calls almost immediately even before i had him retained. He talked me through each step and kept me informed through the entire process. He made me feel and my family that the best case scenario would be the result and he proved that to be true. If you need a criminal defense lawyer, i wouldn't look any further than Kevin Bessant. Thank you Kevin Bessant!

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!!

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!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!

MR. BESSANT IS VERY PLEASANT, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PATIENT. HE REALLY TAKES THE TIME OUT TO LISTEN TO YOU AND YOUR SITUATION, HE TREATS YOU LIKE A PERSON AND NOT JUST AN CLIENT WHO IS PAYING HIM. HE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE SURE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED AND MAKES SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT... EXACTLY IS GOING ON, WHAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE AND THE THE PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE AHEAD OF YOU! HE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE. HE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND IS VERY DETAIL ORIENTED. HE GIVES VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ADVICE AND WHEN YOU ARE DONE TALKING TO HIM IT'S LIKE A BREATHE OF FRESH AIR AND YOU FEEL MORE CONFIDENT WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING YOUR CASE. i HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR BESSANT.
