My Experience with Jesse Williams
My grandson got into some trouble at his middle school concerning pot. I called Jesse and he immediately put my mind at ease about what could happen. He had dealt with the same situation many times. He set up a time for us to meet, told me the cost and continued to reassure me that he could help. As ...

Great Lawyer and Guy
Jesse came recommended to me by a lawyer friend of mine after my second DUI arrest. He's not just a great lawyer, he's also a good guy. Unlike other lawyers, he never tried to oversell himself and never promised miracles. He only promised he'd work hard for the best result possible, and given seve...

Best lawyer and staff you could ever hope for!
Jesse Williams, Kevin Washborn and Jesse’s assistant Sandi are the most professional people I have EVER had the pleasure of working with. I was arrested for OWI in Traverse City while I was visiting from out of state. I had never been arrested before and it had been 10+ years since I had a ticket. ...
"I met Jesse Williams through his participation with the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and their Trial College. Jesse is an extremely talented attorney who is unique in his drive to fight for his clients. I have practiced in the Traverse City area on occasion, and it is one of the most difficult places to practice in the state of Michigan. The judges are incredibly tough, and at times make it very difficult to exercise your client's constitutional rights. Jesse never allows judges or prosecutors to kick him or his clients around. He is willing to stand up and fight like very few other attorneys. I would recommend Jesse to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney."
"In Northern Michigan, there aren't too many attorneys who are willing to fight against all odds for their clients. Jesse is an exceptional lawyer who is willing to battle the government for his clients. I've seen Jesse fight for clients in cases that seem totally destined for failure. Through his legal knowledge and compassion for his clients, Jesse is able to repeatedly beat down the government and obtain great results for his clients."
"Jesse is one of only a few "up north" lawyers that I can depend on for solid advice as a down state attorney. He is a real fighter who is not afraid to buck the system, and he provides top notch representation to his clients throughout northern Michigan. If you're looking for a pitbull to handle a case, you can't go wrong with Jesse."
