Jerry made my DUI disappear

Mr. Jerry Lykins is a fantastic attorney. He saved me and possibly my career from a disaster. I am from another state and I came to MI for a client visit. After having few drinks that weekend, I accidently entered the ramp leading to the wrong side of an interstate in Grand Rapids and was immediately... pulled over by a cop. I passed the field sobriety test but I blew a high BAC and the cop arrested me. Next day I started looking up for an attorney and thankfully found Mr. Jerry Lykins on Avvo. I contacted Jerry by explaining him the situation. It was a Sunday afternoon but still Mr. Jerry was kind enough to come all the way down to where I stayed and he laid out clear cut plan and the steps to follow from that point until the case get resolved. Jerry reviewed my case with the prosecutor and was able to bring the charges down to Impaired Driving, a similar but lesser offense than OWI. I explained Jerry that I work closely with medical field and any form of drunk driving offense will jeopardize my career. Jerry was a bit skeptical about negotiating to reducing the charges lower than impaired driving as the evidence was so strong against me. Jerry reviewed the police video from the arrest scene and found discrepancies the way the field sobriety tests were performed and the way the rights were read to me. With this information in hand, Jerry started his negotiation with the prosecutor for the next several months and was finally able to bring the charges down to CARELESS DRIVING with OPEN INTOXICANT – DRIVER resulting in virtually no penalty but ONLY a small fine. The entire ordeal took nearly nine months but at the end due to Jerry’s strong abilities in dealing with DUI, the case had a favorable ending. I strongly recommend Jerry to anyone in a similar type of situation.

Review for Gerald Lykins

Gerald Lykins represented me in a case for domestic assault. At the time I was a senior in college and had much going on with graduation, applying for jobs, and making preparations for moving out of state. Lykins worked diligently and effectively to get me a plea before I moved out of state. In the ...end, I was able to get a reduced charge. From the start of the case, it was obvious to me that Lykins has a good reputation within the Grand Rapids court system and was able to use that to my advantage in the case. Ultimately, Lykin's connections, competence, and dedication to my case made my situation a lot better. I am very thankful for his services and I would highly recommend him.

OWI Case

Jerry was amazing with handling my case. From the first meeting I had with him I felt very comfortable that I was in good hands. He seemed very knowledgeable on the system and the law and what my outcome would be. He kept me informed throughout the whole process. I would recommend him and his partner... Jeff Kortes to my friends and family if ever needed.

One and Done!

After interviewing several Attorneys, Gerald Lykins gave me the best confidence that we could win my license back the first time around. Lykins cares about his clients, and goes the extra mile to give you a thorough plan and all of the necessary steps you need to take in order to have a successful li...cense restoration. He stayed in contact and answered all of my questions and concerns promptly. After 3 years of having a revoked drivers license, Gerald Lykins made it possible to win my first and last DAAD Hearing, and I have been granted a drivers license again. Great Attorney, He knows what he's doing, I wouldn't trust anyone else.

Lykins Review

From the first meeting, Mr Lykins was very detailed, informative and kept in constant communication. Explained exactly what the charge was and what to expect over the weeks come. Always available for questions and was there from start to end. Always showed a true concern in representing his client.... Thanks Jerry
