Jessica Elizabeth LaFond

It was a smooth easy going process all the way through. Her and her assistant were wonderful to work with and did a great job representing me. I began with 1 Felony and 3 Misdemeanors and ended up waking away with only 1 Misdemeanor which was dropped down to a lesser charge than it originally was. Y...ou can’t go wrong with this group!

I was arrested for my first OWI in August of 2018. Things were a bit daunting given there was marijuana (before it was legal) in my car and an open beer can. She filed several motions and albeit, it took 1 year and 4 months (namely because of the courts being back logged). But all of her hard wor...k paid off. The charge was reduced to careless driving with the criminal charges dismissed and a fine of less than 200$. I had 250$ up on bond so actually getting a couple dollars back. Highly suggest

I hired attorney LaFond to help me with a second offense OWI. As a student at Western Michigan University who was about to graduate from school, I was extremely nervous about the actions that would be taken against me as well as my drivers license. She worked hard to get me the privilege of being in ...sobriety court in Oakland County. Something that is considered to be unheard of from both the Kalamazoo County court as well as the Oakland County courts. Jessica worked extremely hard to get me into the sobriety court so I would have a chance to keep my license as well as reducing my charge. Attorney LaFond also kept me updated frequently about my case, the things I needed to do to accomplish bond, as well as making sure I understood everything about sobriety court and the best methods to stay compliant in the sobriety court. I would 100% recommend Jessica to anyone facing an OWI or multiple offenses.

Ia year ago I got an OWI (operating while intoxicated), driving with a high blood alcohol level (BAC), as well as attempted assault. The attempted assault was a bogus chage. I’ll share a little bit of my story...I’m a Navy Vet and I have ptsd do to Military Sexual Trauma (MST)...this all happens beca...use I slid off the road, mind you I didn’t hit anything and I didn’t do any damage to my vehicle and I did not have my phone so I go out to get help as I was walking I kept feeling like someone was following me which triggered my PTSD and I started having a panic attack before the police showed up and My drunken is causing the panic attack and paranoia was getting worse and I was becoming more disoriented. I tried to leave the hospital and got tackled by four men. So yes I did what any woman who is a victim of MST would do and I was pulling away and trying to get free I remember I kept saying your just like them “your just like them” and the four male officers hog carried me to a bed where I was then put into 4point restraints and medically sedated. And I’ll admit I did try to spit in a nurse but in my defense she was cutting off my clothes without permission and exposing my breast to all four male officers in the room. Anyways that’s how I got my assault charge... Jessica LaFond was a gift sent from God to help guide me through this. I feel very fourtunate to have had her as my lawyer and I would recomend her to anyone. She not only helped me but she also never judged me or my mistakes. She treated me like a human being with compassion and Her kind heart as well as the emotional support Jessica provided throughout my court case was truly selfless. Jessica was willing to take my case to court and and was honest and realalistic with me throughout all of this. Jessica explained that I would more than likely get charged with something for the OWI and our hope was to get the attempted assault charge dismissed. She fought for me in the court room and was well educated on my story and medical history. Jessica let me help pick the jury and gave me a note pad to write down anything I thought was important. Jessica kept me up to date on everything that was happening and advised me on the different payment options between a DUI and driving with a blood alcohol. She answered any questions I had and let me voice my concerns even if they were repetitive. Jessica LaFond is a role model that all lawyers should look upto and strive to be. This woman is truly amazing and a badass!!!

I was involved in a alcohol related traffic accident that involved an injury. I had never been in trouble prior to this and was very scared throughout the process. I always found Jessica a reassuring presence and she really carried me through some difficult periods, as well as my wife. She took time ...with me and I truly felt she had my back and was providing the best possible service. I never questioned her legal knowledge and found her both intelligent and we'll prepared. I hope that anyone who finds themselves in legal problems can find their way to Jessica. I think very highly of her and would not hesitate to refer a friend to her.
