Finished case. Josh did great!

Facing up to 4 years, Josh Covert was our attorney in a difficult case. Circumstances preventing the use of a MMJ defense made it so I could have been looking at time. Mr Covert's suggestions and thoughtful planning resulted in the most lenient outcome. No probation, no house arrest and no jail time!... Walked out of court a free man with only fines to pay. Good job, I cant thank you enough for your help!

Justin vs Gratiot Co.

Joshua was very knowledgeable and kept us informed 100% of the time. He is a lawyer that will fight for all rights. He is honest and he makes you his top priority. He represented me a drunk driving case. Joshua discovered that the prosecution did not have a case that could hold up in court. In the en...d I only had to pay for minor traffic tickets. Thank you Joshua so much for all your hard work!

Hire Josh Covert

I was arrested in February 2013 on a super drunk driving charge. Following my release from jail, I sought consult with other attorneys in the Lansing area. As I was given absolutely nothing from the police or jail (no ticket or any sort of paper work), the general consensus seemed to be that the cour...ts would inform me via mail about an arraignment and other legal obligations. I heard nothing for 2 months until I was called by a police detective to inform me that a warrant for my arrest had been put out. After getting that news, I contacted the Nichols Law firm whom I had discovered through the Internet but had not spoken with yet. I was put into contact with Josh within the hour. Josh immediately started helping me before I even hired him. He called the police to find out everything that was involved and promptly called me back and explained the entire situation and even offered advice about the best way to handle the situation. He then invited me to his office for a consultation and I agreed to hire him that day. Josh was extremely supportive and knowledge about the DUI/OWI process during my experience with him. He kept me updated on everything and always immediately informed me if any new or pertinent information about my case had come up and was always willing to discuss anything that was worrying me. I was initially charged with an OWI enhanced (super drunk) but with Josh's representation the charge was reduced to a regular OWI (DUI). And with Josh as my attorney, I was able to avoid all court imposed punishment besides a fine. NO probation. NO community service. Josh is a great lawyer and has become a great friend. I would STRONGLY recommend him to anyone that has to go through the stress and ordeal of a drunk driving case. He will make everything so much easier for you.

highly satisfied

I first spoke with Joshua about an hour before i was due to appear in court. I called out of terror and desperation after my original attorney basically bailed on me. Perhaps my predicament might have been too much to handle but not for Joshua Covert. After our first meeting he gave me his personal ...cell number and said to call anytime. In the past I've hired attourneys that are only available 9-5 monday through friday. I had a few times where stress would start to get the best of me and numerous occasions where I spoke with Mr. Covert and he would reassure me that we had a good case and nothing to worry about. He really seems to enjoy helping people the best way he can and loves being in his line of work. Long story short, I was being charged with a second DUI. Josh was able to help me prove that i was not guilty of that charge but unfortunately it still isnt legal to have alcohol while walking down the road! I highly reommend Josh to anyone that is in need of a very educated and HIGHLY knowledgeable attorney.
