Great attorney with unbelivable results
I had a problem with violation of fishing regulations in Michigan. I would have had a misdemeanor history if attorney Van Alstine II did not intervene on my behalf.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have observed Mr. Van Alstine II in state and tribal court and cannot say enough about his knowledge of the law and his compassion for his clients. He is result driven and well respected in the community."
"Les is an exceptional attorney, the likes that one does not often see anymore. A believer in individual rights and defending freedoms - he is an inspiration to attorneys and a blessing to clients."
"I heartily endorse this lawyer. I am a licensed Michigan attorney, but needed local counsel to assist us with a real estate matter. Les was available, knowledgeable, thorough and candid. His breadth of knowledge extended beyond the mechanics of the deal to the pertinent regional economics, the local politics, and the relevant local and state administrative agencies. Les's ethics and loyalty are beyond reproach, and are especially valuable to lawyers, such as myself, who are from out-of-town. If you are looking for co-counsel in the Northwestern Lower Peninsula, especially Manistee County, call Les Van Alstine."
