Jesse Latta Williams

My son was charged with 2 felony drug charges as well as possession of marijuana and driving under the influence second offence. And was looking at a 4 year sentence. He was given a court appointed attorney who told us the he was nailed and had no option but to plead guilty. So after some research i... called Jessie and told him the situation and that we felt that our son was not a criminal but that he was an addict and needed treatment and help. And that being branded a felon for the rest of his life would make any recovery that much harder. Jesse was very understanding and agreed completely that the system is wrong by treating the victims of drug addiction the same as hardened criminals. So he took the case at a very reasonable price, any other attorney for felony drug charges would have charged 2 to 3 times what he charged. He was very reassuring and always available. Even gave me his cell number to call anytime i had questions. he was very good at keeping us informed. He managed to get the felonies reduced to just one misdemeanor and had the marijuana charge dropped and also got the operating under the influence 2nd offence dropped to 1st offence he even took the time to council our son. Jessie is a very compassionate and experienced lawyer who cares about his clients. And goes above and beyond even after the case has ended. My wife myself and our family would highly recommend to anyone especially parents with children in trouble to hire Jesse Williams. You,ll be glad you did. Thank you Jesse Williams.

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...ral difficult circumstances surrounding my case, that's exactly what he provided. And he actually genuinely cares. He handles a ton of cases in Traverse City and knows those courts inside and out. Even though my case is over, I still run into him almost every time I have an appointment down at the Traverse City courthouse.

I have had to face several situations where I have had to acquire legal representation. Most were for common occurrences, such as a divorce, others were of a more personal nature. Of all the attorneys I have dealt with, Jesse impressed me the most. He adheres to his promises, quick to respond, and I... find him quite trustworthy. He is always willing to listen to me, asks questions, and would give solid, comprehensive suggestions. He is extremely knowledgeable, but quick to admit when not. (He will get back to you with the correct information in a timely manner.) All of this is given in the most compassionate manner. He really does care about his clients. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone in need of representation.

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 had the worst experiences with the first 3 attorneys I spoke to. Thankfully, I found Jesse Williams on my 4th try. There is not one negative thing I can say about him or his staff. Jesse was the only attorney who within 5 minutes of hearing my case told me exactly how much he was going to charge me, what he can get the charges dropped to and how long the whole process will take. Jesse gave me his cell phone number and had his assistant Sandi follow up with me every step of the way. Jesse even facilitated my alcohol risk assessment to be done over the phone to prevent an extra visit to Michigan. Jesse was called on another case on the same day of my court date, but his assistant Sandi made sure I had all the information on his associate, Kevin Washborn who would be representing me in his place. Sandi even called me the morning of my court date to make sure my drive in was ok and to give me some comforting advice (she was so great). Kevin Washborn, my attorney that day, came in fully prepared and had already spoken to Jesse multiple times that day to make sure everyone was on the same page. The judge ended up dismissing my operating while intoxicated charge and instead it was reduced to operating while impaired. I was given no probation or any other punishment besides court fees. Jesse personally called me after court to explain everything to me and to touch base, which was very thoughtful. I cannot express in words what Jesse, Kevin and Sandi did for me. There is absolutely no comparison if you are looking for straightforward, no BS, professional representation. Don’t waste your time on the others who just see you as another case, you want someone who will take the time to treat your case with the respect it deserves.

I was charged with possession of marijuana and Jesse was able to get my case thrown out. He was very knowledgable about the laws dealing with my marijuana case. His price was very fair and he and his office kept in contact with me throughout the case. Hopefully not, but if I ever need a lawyer for m...arijuana charges, Jesse will be the first call I make. Couldn't be happier with the results and the entire process. Thank you again Jesse, you saved me.
