Mitch is Thorough and Very Knowledgeable

Mitch Foster is an expert in bankruptcy, DUI, and criminal defense work. He knows the subject matter and takes the time to get to know his clients and their specific issues and then works vehemently to defend them. I have used Mitch in the past and would definitely use Mitch again if the need arise...s. I have referred Mitch to my friends and they have all been happy with his work as well. Mitch goes a long way to give lawyers a good name again!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mitch is part of what I would call the inner circle of the best Criminal Defense Attorneys in Michigan. You will never meet another attorney who is as professional, honest, detailed, focused on winning, intelligent, extremely knowledgeable of cutting edge defenses, brave, and willing to put 110% in on every case. I see Mitch all of the time in Court and communicate with him regarding criminal law on a daily basis (aka Mitch has an answer for every legal question I can't figure out!). He is a lawyers lawyer, a winner (proven time and time again with not guilty after not guilty), very respected within the criminal defense attorney community, and a criminal defense attorney who believes in what he does and truly cares about his clients. Mitch may be too humble to tell you of his many accomplishments, not guiltys, case dismissals, etc..............But I'm not Mitch, so take it from me, he's the best!!!"
