Highly recommended

“I was charged with perjury while police were investigating a murder. I told attorney Upshaw I was innocent and we beat the case at trial in Grand Rapids, MI. He is highly knowledgeable and aggressive at trial. He fought for my freedom and won! I was found not guilty.”

A Dedicated Attorney Who Truly Cares

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Mr. Upshaw and the exceptional service he provided to me and my family. After my husband was sentenced to federal prison for a major drug crime, I hired Mr. Upshaw to help with reducing his sentence. From the moment we retained him, he was always availabl...e to meet with me and provide guidance. Not only is he an incredibly skilled attorney, but he is also a compassionate person who genuinely cares about his clients. Thanks to his hard work, my husband’s sentence was reduced. Mr. Upshaw will fight for you, provide honest advice, and be there when you need him most.

Great achievement

Mr. Upshaw is a highly experienced attorney that goes to work for you. He demonstrated genuine advise throughout my case whom addressed all of my concerns that made my situation less stressful. He maintained the line of communication by being straight forward in updating me every significant importan...t detail. This was very uncomfortable but we end up in trial and won the case. He certainly didn't talked me into a plea. He was persistent and fought with courage utilizing expertise. In conclusion, I recommend Jeff Upshaw for his proven dedication and being a true asset in the legal field as a trustworthy attorney.

Did not defend at all

Mr Upshaw was the court appointed lawyer for my friend and he did not defend him at all. During the trial he did not contest any of the evidence or object to anything the prosecution presented in court. He would not communicate with his client or plan ahead. He just kept him in the dark. As a result..., he was convicted and Mr Upshaw was still not communicating or contesting anything and he failed to file for papers in time and seems like he’s working for the court that paid him and not for my friend. He’s not as aggressive as he should be. As a result my friend might be going to jail for a long time. NO thanks to you Mr. Upshaw

This is the lawyer you want on your team!

Mr. Upshaw is an amazing attorney. He got my husband's fed time down to 2 1/2 years when it could have been 10. He is very knowledgeable of the federal court system. Returned all of my calls, and answered our questions in a timely manner. Was patient with our lack of knowledge in the fed system repe...atedly going over things with us. I would definitely recommend. Very happy with the outcome as that was the lowest possible time my husband could get. Thank you Mr. Upshaw!
