Review on Gerald Lykins for OWVI case

Gerald R. Lykins was my lawyer for a drunk driving case. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. He answered any questions I had, and he was very easy to contact. He made sure I understood everything that was going on. He was able to lessen my charges. Lykins is very experienced and he knows every...thing about these cases. Although it was an unfortunate situation, he made me feel as comfortable as possible and made this experience easier on me. I recommend using Gerald Lykins in any drunk driving cases.

COMPASSIONATE GREAT ATTORNEY

My mother found Jerry after searching the internet for attorneys for my drunk driving arrest. Immediately, my mother and I both felt we selected the right person to represent me with the Court system. Jerry met with us and took the time necessary to explain everything that would be involved with m...y drunk driving arrest and marijuana case. Jerry always took the time to answer my emails, text messages or phone call, even on the weekends. I cannot put into words how stressful the whole process was for me. To make matters worse, I made some bad choices while my case was pending and Jerry had to work hard to convince the Judge that I was worth taking a second chance on. I know Jerry never lost faith in me and this was more than just an average attorney would do for a client. Jerry truly works hard and cares about his clients. Jerry was always direct and honest with me. I would recommend Jerry to anyone if the matter involved a criminal case. He was great!

Great Lawyer

Jerry from the beginning of representation was completely prepared and very detail oriented. Jerry was up front, honest and reviewed every aspect of what was going to happen concerning my drunk driving case. Jerry was prompt in responding to questions or issues that I had during the case. Simply... put, I think Jerry was superior in the way he handled my case. In the end, Jerry reduced my case from an OWI to an Impaired. This saved me money and license sanctions. I would recommend Jerry to anyone who is facing a OWI charge and needs help.

License Restoration

I would strongly recommend Mr. Lykins for representation. He was prompt, reliable, direct, and very competent. He was very clear when explaining what to expect for a restricted license appeal. I feel that he had provided me with the best representation possible for a second offense DUI/ license re...storation. He aided in providing a clear, detailed, and concise case to my hearing officer. I appreciate how smooth and hassle free he made the appeal process.

Jerry is the lawyer you need!

I made a huge mistake and was arrested for an OWI this year and was very inexperienced in hiring a lawyer. After several disappointing calls a friend of mine suggested I call Jerry. I called and after talking to Jerry for a little bit, decided to hire him to represent me on my case. This was one of t...he best decisions I've ever made. Jerry did not try to feed me any false hope and was very straight forward. I was lost and had no idea what to do and what was to happen to me. Jerry explained the whole process and what I should look forward to as far as punishment and I felt very much more knowledgeable about the process than I had before. During my case, Jerry picked up a murder case here in town and was very busy with that and still found time to take care of my case as well. I just got back from sentencing and Jerry not only met my expectations of what was to become of my case, but far exceeded them and I could never thank him enough. Jerry was reasonably priced, down-to-earth, and professional. He also warned me of the much higher consequences of a second offense and showed me great concern for my future. If you are EVER in need of a lawyer, I highly suggest giving Jerry and the West Michigan Defense Team a call.
