How does someone choose the "right attorney"? I believe that the client must feel comfortable with the attorney, along with having confidence in the attorney's abilities in dealing with the issues at hand.
I specialize in criminal and bankruptcy law. I also handle divorce, license restoration, and debt settlement. I offer personal service and have been very successful in keeping my clients out of jail. In practicing bankruptcy law, in addition to guiding my client through the bankruptcy process, I offer advice to my clients on how to avoid various debt traps and how to live within a budget , but only if they want the advise. I respect my client's right to make their own decisions regarding their lives.
Come on in for a free consultation. I may not be the right fit for every person, but you will not get any high pressure tactics, and you can decide if me representing you and your family is the right decision for you.

Thomas Baynton - Bankruptcy
Tom handled our chap 13 and then our conversion to a chap 7. Tom gives it to you straight and offers good advice. He was very helpful in guiding us through a tough process. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering bankruptcy.

Changed my life
Tom is a fantastic lawyer... He was gracious enough to accept my case, and from day 1 was helpful, realistic, and honest. I have had friends who told me their lawyers didn't prepare them for what was going to happen, and really made the process sound easy... Tom is not that lawyer, he is 100 percent ...
"Tom is sharp. I roomed with him at trial college, and I am on a few list serves with him. He always "direct lines" any legal scenario right to the controlling issues, and is able to formulate the arguments for both sides, and of course, why his side should win!... Highest recommendation."
"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Baynton on a criminal matter that had pieces in Michigan and in Texas. I found Mr. Baynton to be extremely professional and effective. It is a pleasure ot endorse him."
"I met Tom at the 2010 Trial College put on by the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan. Tom is an incredibly talented attorney who clearly cares deeply for his clients. He has the skills and talent to take both civil and criminal cases to trial, and win."
"Thomas Baynton is a fabulous lawyer who goes the extra mile for his clients. Thomas and I know each other through extensive training we have participated in together through the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan. His trial skills impress me and I would not hesitate to send clients to Thomas. Not only are his trial skills top notch, but the level of compassion he shows for his clients is tremendous."
