I hired attorney Jerry Lykins just over a month and half ago to help resolve and defend me in several old cases I had in two separate West Michigan Courts. I found Jerry based upon a referral and doing some on line research. I contacted Jerry and knew from our conversation that he was the right pe...rson to help me. Jerry was direct, honest and provided me with answers to my questions. Since I had moved back to the Detroit area, I did not want to come back to the Grand Rapids area unless necessary. Both of my cases involved theft, one was a Shoplifting and the other a Larceny. Jerry handled everything for me and negotiated great resolutions so that I had to only come over from East side 1 time to handle everything. This type of management of my files and his communication with me and my family was very impressive and simply demonstrates his commitment to helping his clients and keeping them up to date. There were many times that I or my parents would have questions and we could call or text Jerry after hours or on the weekends and he would get right back to us. We really appreciated this type of access and his efforts to keep us up to speed. I would highly recommend Jerry Lykins to anyone who might be facing a criminal law type issue. Jerry is a great lawyer and caring person. He always went far beyond the call of duty in helping us. Thanks Jerry!

I hired attorney Jerry Lykins a little over a year ago to help me with trying to get my driving privileges back. I had lost my privileges 4 years before because of a 2nd drunk driving. At the time of my 2nd drunk driving, my thoughts were only on the issue of jail time, fines and costs. But as tim...e went on, the clear issue of losing my driving privileges became the big issue. Not being able to drive meant that I had to have my wife, family members and other drive me to everywhere. So, when I was finally able to seeking my license I was unable to make sense of the process. I would request the paperwork and simply put it aside and never move forward. Then about a year ago, I got serious. I contact numerous lawyers and scheduled meetings. After meeting with Jerry Lykins, I felt comfortable he was the right lawyers to help me. Jerry was knowledgeable about the process, he had a plan and structure program which helped me understand what I needed to do and what he was going to do in terms of preparing for my license hearing. The process took time, but we moved forward and a year ago we had our first hearing. Jerry was skillful and prepared me for the hearing and I was granted a restricted license with a Interlock system. For the next year, while I used the Interlock I had a number of situation which required me to contact Jerry. He was always there for me, and we were able to keep my privileges. Last week I had my final hearing with the Secretary of State. Once again, I had Jerry's help and when the hearing ended I was informed that I was getting my full license back. What glorious news for me and my family. I made bad choices many years before, but now, with Jerry's help I was free again. Thank you attorney Jerry Lykins

I hired attorney Jerry Lykins after having another attorney handle my case for about a year. I had a number of old Housing Code Violation misdemeanors which were pending in Grand Rapids. I had left GR almost 3 years earlier and no longer owned the property. The outstanding Housing Code cases contin...ued to cause legal issues even though I was no longer living in Michigan. Jerry was worth every dollar I paid his firm. He was responsive and understood what I needed to resolve the case. In the end, the misdemeanors were amended to non-criminal cases which will permit me to remain conviction free, very important in today's job market. I would highly recommend Jerry to anyone searching for a very good criminal attorney. Jerry works hard and knows the system. Thanks Jerry!

Well, on the bright side, I only went to jail for 45 days. Did little to look into the specifics of my case specifically the treatment that was occurred while in custody of the Michigan State Police and Kent County Jail officials despite documented abuse while in custody. I solely prepared my statem...ent to be read in front of the court, which largely led to the sentence I received. In addition, did little to try to plead to a lesser offense. Status quo attorney, doesn't look to challenge the corrupt system or structure that is inherent to the Michigan legal system. Resulted in a felony conviction, but did a few months less in physical custody. However the felony conviction has proved to be an incarceration of its own, despite receiving multiple college degrees since release, it has proved impossible. I should have gone to trial, I was not made aware of the implications and stigma that comes with a felony conviction for a non-violent offense. I might as well have got a life sentence, this conviction has hindered me greatly. In addition, I received early release from probation on my own, but tried to contact Atty. Lykins for paperwork from my case which would have made obtaining my teacher certification in Colorado feasible, but roughly a year later I have yet to receive this paperwork. When I hired him, he talked a big game, but not coming through on little things like this show you where this attorneys allegiance's lie.

I hired Jerry Lykins to represent me both with a 2nd DUI and later when I needed my driver's license reinstated. When I first hired Jerry to represented me almost 2 years ago for my DUI, it was a scary time for me. I searched for a criminal defense attorney that could provide me the direction and i...nstruction to move forward with an action plan and who could relate to me in a common sense way. Jerry provided a blue print and an action plan that I could understand and that I could follow. Jerry was able to minimized the effects of the DUI with the Court system and I was very happy with the resolution of the case. Most of all, I was happy with the support and direction Jerry offered me when making changes in my life that have redirected my future. Recently, I re-hired to Jerry to help get my driver's license back. Once again, Jerry had an action plan which I understood and could follow. Jerry provide a step by step plan which I followed carefully. Jerry was also able to work with the Secretary of State's office so that I did not have to fly back to Michigan from Colorado. Jerry's office was able to help me do a video hearing which not only saved me days of travel but a significant amount of money. Jerry prepared me both at the beginning and right before the hearing for the ins and out of the process. I now have my freedom back because I have my license back. While I did the work, the direction for getting back my freedom started with a phone call to Jerry Lykins. He is truly a Great Attorney and I would recommend him for any type of DUI or criminal matter!
