Results speak for themselves!
David is very honest and excels at what he does! He does not sugar coat anything. Achieved a WAY better outcome than I could've hoped for. 10/10 would use again for all future legal endeavors!!

Proved Ex lied and Got 50/50 of my Kids!
I can’t Thank Dave Kramer enough for defending me on my case! My ex falsely accused me of domestic violence and my Kids were my witnesses. Police didn’t want to listen to me, Plus they wouldn’t interview my kids. Worse part My ex attacked me! Police will never really listen to us men! Even though my kids said to the officers my mom was lying! It didn’t matter at all. Dave Kramer fought for me and told me We will win this and you will get at least 50/50 custody, plus we will get these bogus charges dropped! I Prayed that I would be Free of these bogus charges and have my boys. At the end of the day, Dave kept his word I have my Boys 50/50 and proved my innocence. Charges Dropped! Thank you Dave! My Kids Thank you too!

The Best Attorney in town
I'd like to thank Mr. Kramer for all that he's done for me. His guidance and persistence compares to no other. When other lawyers gave up on me, he fought for my case and with a positive outcome I can honestly say I'm grateful to have retained him. Without a doubt I'd recommend Mr. Kramer to anyone facing legal problems.

DUI - Results Speak - Highly recommend
I was charged DUI and was very much worried as a family man. After seeing Kramer’s experience and initial meet with him, I gained confidence but was very nervous until the case disposed. Kramer explained the process well and and given the clear options at every stage. Patience is the only key we should keep throughout the time. He changed my case to Reckless and made sure i am not receiving any other sentencing, he really made it. I would highly recommend him for any criminal charges and he would do wonders.

Excellent attorney
The minute I met Mr. Kramer I felt more comfortable about my case he made me feel at ease with his confidence and knowledge of the judicial system.He did an amazing job and got me what I feel is the best anyone could have done. I can not say enough about how great of a job this man did. If you need a excellent representation he is defiantly the person to retain.

Results in my divorce case!
Wait til you see this guy in action. We just finished an 18 month divorce where my ex fought me on literally everything. David won every single hearing. He is not one of the typical law firms. He doesn't submit frivolous motions or waste time and rack up your bill. He gets results and does it effectively. He is not the cheapest lawyer in town but it is evident that he is one of the best. There may be times you may not hear from him, but don't worry. He is dedicated and when the time comes he comes through 100% and gets results. David got me full legal custody of my two children and primary physical. He changed my life and my kids' lives and I'll never forget it.

Super good at what he do
In my case, David was very straight to the point and it also helped that he is well known . He’s going to get you the best and fairest outcome based upon your situation and it was nice that he had an idea what he could do for me just based on my recollection of the incident . He did exactly what he figured he could do in my case and he was worth every dime . Pricey but reasonable especially when your life depends on it . I was pleased with my outcome. It was a slap on the hand

Loyality
David Kramer has been my daughters’ Criminal Defense attorney for about a year. If you want an attorney that will genuinely take a personal interest on a level that matches the loyalty of a family member, hire David. He has been persistent and set up many meetings with law enforcement to help us get through a very difficult time in our family. I cannot express enough the gratitude I feel about this person. You won’t regret having him represent you.

Kramer = Knowledgeable, Keen, Kind
I met with David Kramer regarding a case that was frightening, and stressful. He immediately put me at ease at his office. We discussed my case, free of charge for the consultation. I found him to be very professional, yet I could see he was caring, and a man of strong faith, which for me was also a comfort. Though of course he could make no promises about what my outcome would be, it was evident that he was knowledgeable about my type of case, and possessed a keen sense of what I could expect when I went before the Judge. I appreciated that, as I have met with previous attorneys that were so vague during the consultation, that I would leave feeling more confused than before I went in. At the end of my consultation, he was so kind to me, and offered some resources that I could use to help me before I went court. I hired him on the spot. When it came time to appear in court, I was overjoyed to learn that he was able to get my charges greatly reduced. I realized that this was because of relationships that he had forged with key people in that district court. Most importantly, the prosecutor and the judge. I also learned that after I left the courtroom, he went into the judges chambers and put in a good word for me with the judge, regarding my character and unique situation. I am more than happy with how things turned out for me, because things could have been much, much worse. I highly recommend David Kramer as an attorney, and will do so to anyone I know that needs an excellent criminal law attorney.

Weight of the World.
When Mr. Kramer was hired, I was almost 6 months deep into fighting with my ex-wife over custody and other family court matters. All of this started almost a year after the divorce was final on paper, however, between my ex and I, the divorce was final a year before that. Finally after 9 months of official divorce, and things going relatively well, the crazy came out. From out of left field I was served with a PPO which stated some very untrue, but very disgusting allegations. My parenting time was suspended, despite 50/50 custody and our sons healthy relationship with both parents. She had accomplished this all ex-parte (without me there to defend myself, Michigan is very much a mother state) by going in to court, crying, batting her eyes, and playing games with the courts, the police, and my family. Shortly after, I had 50% resolved parenting time issues. That's when she became vindictive. She had half the city police at my home because of her calls to them (on a day we hadn't even spoke to each other), stating I was intoxicated, armed, disgruntled, a danger to myself and others, etc. They showed up while I was having a pleasant lunch with my sweet old mother. They found none of it to be true, and reported that on the official report. This kind of stuff went on and on and on. Despite the PPO she would threaten custody battles if I didn't come over and pick up my son or facilitate her needs. I tell you my personal accounts for you to have an idea of where I was at when I hired Mr. Kramer and to qualify what he has done for me. For 6 months, court date after court date, I had gained no traction and ended farther behind, I had used sub par attorneys which led me to representing myself. Finally after a breaking point, I began reviewing lawyers locally. Mr. Kramer came highly recommended and I consulted with and hired him. The first court appearance he represented me on was the first court appearance of the many I had the 6 months prior, in which I actually slept the night prior and didn't stay up putting together what I knew were the facts with supporting evidence. Once we met and reviewed my case, and I handed off all the text messages, phone calls, and inaccuracies in her story, he explained how he would use them and what we were going to do. I slept great that night, woke up refreshed and ready for court. That is a great testimony in its self, but I will elaborate more. Mr. Kramer accommodated my busy schedule, meeting me on weekends. He was passionate about my case and the effects it was having on myself and my son. He effectively communicated to the judge what was currently going on and what has gone on the months prior with my ex's actions. It was the first time my side of the story was ever considered in that courtroom. Mr. Kramer leveraged his powerful litigation skills, showing the court what my ex was actually doing and uncovering the lies she had slandered me with. His very respectable reputation built from OVER 2 DECADES of passionately serving his clients and fighting for what is right was an incredible assistance in all of this. His relationship with the judge, and how the judge respected and admired Mr. Kramer made conveying facts and important points relatively effortless for Mr. Kramer. Due to his reputation he is listened to and heard. He had also brought in a partner to assist me in a different court, which was fall out from this mess. He knew his partners strengths and utilized them to help me come out unscathed there too. Had I hired Mr. Kramer many months before, I would have seen resolution to this much, much earlier and with more money in my pocket. As the first 6 months was just a waste. No, even worse, it was a detriment to which I needed Mr. Kramer to recover me from. Don't make my mistakes, don't price shop, don't do it yourself. Pay for quality, Pay once, and with Attorney David Kramer's performance, I would consider him a great bargain

Strong Criminal Defense Attorney
This experienced criminal defense attorney really helped me beat trumped up charges brought by my ex-wife. David won the trial and he was head and shoulders above the state law prosecutor who tried the case for the state.

Divorce Case.
Mr. David Kramer and Mr. Steve Barber significantly helped me get fair Legal treatment with my Divorce and parental custody case. I am so grateful for their professional services, consultation, advice and guidance on how I approached and handled everything. David Kramer and Steve Barber are A-1 and they know what they are doing. I would recommend them in a heart beat. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for what they have done for me. They made things emotionally and mentally easier for me to handle as I went thru my entire Divorce process and Parental Custody Case which was all new territory for me.

Incredibly Grateful.....
David Kramer really took such great care with my case, as well as with me, during one of the most stressful times of my life. I could feel his compassion and support through out my entire ordeal. He worked tireless for me, and guided me every step of the way. He's an incredible attorney that genuinely wants to help people, and he delivered me phenomenal results. I could not have asked for better legal counsel. David Kramer is not only the best representation one can choose, but more than that, he's just a wonderful human being. I'll never forget what he's done for me, and I'm forever grateful for his abundance of help and support. Without him, I never would have been able to have the freedom I have today. And that kind of feeling, is eternally priceless.

David Kramer is great
David Kramer has done an excellent job of representing me in a very tricky legal matter. He fights very hard on your behalf and is very accessible. He does not nickel and dime you to death and bill you for every single minute you spend with him. In fact he met with me many times for free just to answer questions I had after any legal event took place. Plus he got great results for me. I highly recommend him for any of your legal issues.

Review David J. Kramer
I have been a client with David for over 3 yrs. He has represented me in civil and traffic courts. David is a man of great integrity and virtue. He sincerely uses these qualities personally and professionally. I strongly believe that this is why David consistently obtains his successful outcomes in law. It is these qualities and many more that I truly like about David. To respect brevity, I will state in short: "David is the person you want for the best outcomes......it sure works for me".

Aggressive, honest attorney who will fight tooth and nail for your case
I, unfortunately, had to go through a painful divorce process. An elder at our church recommended me to David. After meeting with David, he wanted to help me through this process and ensure that me and my children's best interests were litigated. David did an amazing job, with integrity and and aggressive attitude to fight for my rights as a Father. We were able to work professionally with the other side and come to a workable agreement. In addition, David went above and beyond in counseling and assisting me with helping me to get back on my feet emotionally and spiritually. You will not find a better, more aggressive attorney to help you with your family or criminal law case.
