License Restored After 5 Years!

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

OWI 2nd Great Attorney

I was recently charged with my second Drunk Driving case in October, 2013. I called Jerry after being referred to him from a family member. Jerry was very forthright, direct, honest and provided me with all the information I need to understand the case against me and what my options were going to b...e moving forward. I decided to hire Jerry and we moved forward. In the end, there was no wiggle room in the charge, but at each step of the case, Jerry was there for me working hard and keeping me informed. Jerry is honest and hardworking. I would recommend him to anyone facing this type of offense. Thanks Jerry

Great and Caring Attorney

I called attorney Jerry Lykins after reading reviews on the internet and then speaking to him. Everything that I had read about Jerry from his prior reviews was accurate. I found Jerry extremely responsive and he made room in his calendar to meet with me prior to my leaving Michigan to return home ...to Colorado. Jerry and I maintained contact after I returned home and he was able to resolve my case and permit me to return to Michigan for only 1 court appearance. I thank Jerry for his professionalism and knowledge. Jerry made this experience much easier for me and I would recommend his services looking to hire an attorney in the area of Drunk Driving or a criminal type case. Jerry had a very good working knowledge of the Courts and their staffs. Thanks Jerry

SUPERIOR LAWYER !!!!

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!

EXCELLENT OWI ATTORNEY

First, let me simply state what I think of Jerry Lykins in terms of his abilities as an attorney. I have limited exposure to attorneys, but the few I have worked with and had contact with in the past are not even close to Jerry Lykins. Jerry was always efficient, professional and responsive to my n...eeds and questions. Jerry truly understood the issues I was dealing with having been arrest for Drunk Driving. Jerry explained to me all the in and outs of the drunk driving law and prepared me for everything that happened. When it came to handling my case is court, Jerry was a master. I had only to appear two times in Court and each time Jerry had my case in front of the Judge within minutes. Jerry was 100% correct in all of his assessments and predicting how the case would be resolved. As a result of his representation I had my case reduced from an OWI to an Impaired Driving and the Court did not even order probation. If I was ever asked to recommend an attorney for any criminal law type matter I would highly recommend Jerry Lykins. He is dependable, honest and fair. Most of all, he gets the job done!
