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!

ARROGANT, RUDE, ANSWERS CALLS FIRST TWO MONTHS, then you get IGNORED

If you want to be ignored and talked to like you ain’t shhhh, this the man to go to. He must think he is the only one with a degreee, NOT!! Paid outta pocket $2900 owe $600( he will NEVER GET) DIDNT FIGHT FOR SHHH WENT WITH WHATEVER THE PROSECUTIR WANTED. You try and ask him a question he gives you t...he cold shoulder.

Ignored

I attempted to hire Mr. Bessant to help me with my case. When I first met with him; everything sounded great, he sounded confident and reassured me that everything was going to be alright. We discussed my case, and I was told to call if anything was to happen or if I needed him. I called him to discu...ss my options to not face any harsh time, and both days I received no answer. I even left voicemails. If I had not found another lawyer or put all my trust into Mr. Bessant; I would have been left to fight for myself.

Excellent Choice for an Attorney!

We contacted Kevin Bessant to help close out an old outstanding probation case. We did not live in Michigan anymore and didn't know an attorney there. After searching online, we came across Kevin's website and gave him a call. He responded to our call immediately and consulted with us prior to us ...hiring him. He was extremely knowledgable and promptly returned calls and emails, and reassured us every step of the way through our case, which was resolved quickly. We made an excellent choice in hiring Kevin and would highly recommend him!

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!
