Bait and Switch

I was referred to him through word of mouth recommendation. Turned out to be a bad idea. He seemed interested in my case... until I paid my retainer. Once paid, he disappeared. I did not hear from him for months. He is impossible to get a hold of. We had agreed on a retainer fee, but once he f...ound out what I do for a living, the price doubled. I agreed for him to represent me, and he pulled the bait and switch. I paid top dollar for him, not his straight out of law school partner. In the end, they were no help whatsoever. It seemed like he didn't really care about my case, and his higher profile cases were more important. It was just another dollar for him. He could have at least acted like he was interested. The outcome of the case was worse than if I had handled everything myself. He put off working on my case until the night before. Had he kept up with it, he would have gathered important information long before hand, and the outcome would have been totally different.

Best Attorney in SW Michigan

Mr. Sapponos helped me with my case and was both affective and precise. He has a lot of experience and was referred by quite a few people I know. My case was dismissed and it was all because of his great legal work!

Don Sappos

Donald sapponos was not helpful at all with my case. He did not answer phone calls, knew nothing about the trial it's self. And showed very little interests. If the case doesn't make the news. He doesn't care

highly recommend

I retained Don Sappanos for dui/high BAC charges. Him and his associates did a great job negotiating a plea deal and got charges reduced to just an impaired driving which is an extremely tough task with Michigan super drunk laws. Would highly recommend him or his associates.
