Misdemeanor reckless driving case

Called and did most over the phone with John Frazier. He understood the unusual circumstances of having limited ability to come into the office as I care for my disabled son. He took my minor sons misdemeanor careless driving case. He sent all forms to retain via email. Things got done quickly. He ke...pt me informed of all dealings with the court or prosecutors at all times. We conversed mainly via email and he was very confident for the outcome of my case each step of the way. When I worried or waiverd he was professional in the manner in which to ease my concerns. I gave my complete trust and faith in him and he prevailed. I strongly recommend this firm and its team. Best part he was less than a “friend” was going to charge. Glad I made the call. Thank You John Frazier you will be my to go guy from here in our should I need a lawyer.

Family law and child custody

Mr. Fraser represented me in a child custody case in Ingram county. I had not previously been represented in family court and the results were devastating. My sons father was granted full physical custody and I was only allowed weekend and holiday visits. For eight years this went on. I had told e...verybody about the situation at my son’s father‘s house and how bad it was a nobody would listen, except for Mr. Fraser. They’re finally came a time when evidence of alcohol abuse and domestic violence from an outside source became available. And Mr. Fraser utilized that evidence to change my family’s life! After eight years of fighting, tears, lost time, and trying to tell my story, the truth was being told. We took this evidence to friend of the Court in Ingham County and Mr. Fraser was effective in presenting the evidence in a manner in which the judge was able to make a decision that was very positive for me, my son and our family. I have recommended Mr. Fraser to many of my coworkers and friends struggling to navigate family court and FOC. I consider Mr. Fraser a part of our extended family and we will forever be grateful.

Thanks to the highly qualified and extremely well prepared representation of attorney John Fraser, my case got dismissed!

I am a MMMP card holder with medical marijuana patient status and am licensed to grow my own medicinal marijuana plants at home. Thinking I was doing everything according to the rules, didn't prevent law enforcement from coming to the house to pay a visit. And in the process found things that they ...we're going to challenge....... period. Long story short, I wound up with Felony Manufacturing charges. Which if prosecuted to the full extent of the law would bring 4 years in prison with it. I knew immediately that I would need good, rather great, representation. That's when I contacted attorney John Fraser at Grewal Law in Okemos, and asked him to come on board. And thank God I did. First of all, as far as anyone in the Greater Lansing area that is an expert on Michigan Medical Marijuana Law, it's attorney Fraser for sure. So if you have a case pertaining to anything drug related, I would highly recommend your contacting him. But his expertise travels well beyond that of drug related law. And the team he works with at Grewal are also people of integrity, with a diverse array of special qualifications for really any legal need. My case looked as though it would be bound over to the circuit Court. But when he was able to present a few of our arguments to the prosecutor, she was faced with the reality that her case wasn't worth pursuing. And yes, without ever needing to even be present for my preliminary exam, the decision was made to throw out my case entirely! Judge signed the papers the following morning. And now all of this is behind me now...... for good. And for that I sincerely thank and commend Mr. Fraser.

The Best Lawyer Around

John was professional, driven, and you could tell he cared about every case that he was given. His constant effort to ensure that I would get the best legal advise/help possible during a tumultuous transition from college to my professional career made all of my nerves disappear. I wish I would not h...ave been in the predicament that I was in, but with Johns efforts I was able to start my adult life without a mark on my record. His diligence put me at ease. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to get through any tough situations you may have!

Amazing Attorney

John Fraser of White Law is an amazing attorney. He is extremely well spoken and educated. His knowledge of the law was very evident at every part of the process dealing with the court system, other attorneys, prosecutor and judges. My personal ordeal was absolutely horrifically dibilitating... for myself, loved ones and colleagues. I was charged with "career and life ending" felonies. I was and forever shall be innocent of these charges. Attorney Fraser showed extreme compassion. Always explaining everything to me. He was calming and had this way of comforting me in very stressful times. In the end, due to Attorney Fraser's expertise, all charges were dropped. I and my family shall forever be grateful. Tamara

"I know John from law school and our days on the Law Review editorial board. Like anywhere, people get reputations in law school. John's reputation was "this guy is really, really smart." It was a well-earned reputation, as he ended up graduating number one in our class with a 4.0 GPA. That's impressive at any level of schooling, but completely dumbfounding in law school. Since being out, John has built up a similar reputation: "this guy is a really, really good lawyer." He takes his work seriously, cares about his clients, and gets incredible results. He has already set himself apart as a statewide expert in the area of medical-marijuana law and has won at least one published Court of Appeals case in that field. If I ever needed help in an area of law in John's wheelhouse, he'd be at the top of a short list of who I'd call."
