Jesse Latta Williams

I called Jesse upon being pulled over for possession of a controlled substance in Gaylord, MI. I had a very small amount of marijuana and fully cooperated with law enforcement. Jesse quoted a fair flat flee of $1500 to handle the case, but after reviewing local laws and decisions I decided to represe...nt myself. Jesse was completely understanding of this decision and continued to make himself available for free legal advice. He provided instructions on how to proceed and information on the prosecuting attorney and Judge in Gaylord. Thanks to his help, I asked the Court (prosecutor) for a 7411 plea and the Judge for a plea-by-mail because of my out-of-town student status. Both were granted. I paid a $290 fine and provided I avoid trouble for 6 months, a clean criminal record. Jesse's guidance and accessibility were critical in providing me the needed information on the process, what to expect and how to proceed. The fact that he was not only willing but eager to help speaks volumes about how much he cares for his clients. He seemed like a good guy, especially relative to some Defense lawyers. I am certainly thankful he provided free advice and a calming influence in the moments after a very unfortunate encounter with law enforcement.

Jessie took the time to run the preliminary exam. This is a step that most lawyers opt out of because it means more work. The case was based out of Oakland county. Jessie took the time to make two extra trips in order to run the exam. The result was the case was dismissed. I believe, if he had o...pted out of the exam, we would have gone straight to the plea process. He went the extra mile to make sure the prosecution had the right to charge me. I have and will recommend Jessie to anyone that has a legal issue.

We hired Jessie Williams to handle a Domestic Violence/DWLS case in Traverse City, MI. We were assigned a public defender, but the public defender had no intention of defending the charge. He only wanted to plea it out. Mr. Williams consulted with us and felt that the charge would not stand in co...urt. Mr. Williams defended this case with the utmost compassion and decorum. He communicated with us regularly, keeping us updated on all motions, hearing dates, prosecutor meetings & discovery. Mr. Williams was honest in his assessment of the case, and forthwith with any investigative findings. We found Mr. Williams fees to be customary & reasonable. He even went against his normal protocol allowing us to pay his fee in installments. The only thing he required was that the fees be paid before the hearing date. Almost unheard of in today's attorney contracts. Mr. Williams did get us a NOT GUILTY verdict. He made his case on cross examination of the prosecutors witnesses alone. All this was accomplished with adamant resistance from the prosecutors office.. I would highly recommend Jessie Williams for any legal situation that may arise. His office staff was courteous, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. His investigative staff was first rate, and stayed with the case through the hearing. We are very fortunate to have found the right advocate in Jessie Williams. Please consider his firm when looking for legal counsel. He has a broad area of experience and he covers a wide area of Northern Michigan. We witnessed a high respect from all areas of the court system towards him and from him. You can rest assured if using Mr. Williams you will receive honest and sound legal advise, as well as excellent support from his staff. 5 STAR rating from us. .

Jesse helped me immensely. He was very knowledgeable about my case from the beginning and continued his education regarding it. He always went above and beyond, doing things more than he needed to and keeps doing so, even after the case has been closed. I always felt comfortable trusting him with ...the case and providing me a positive outcome.

I hired Jesse L. Williams for my young but adult son who made some poor choices and found himself needing an attorney. Not knowing what to expect, in the beginning, I will admit I was a little put off by Jesse's directness and knack for getting to the point. Although these were the qualities that in ...end I appreciated the most. Mr. Williams and his staff not only kept us all informed and on the same page with how to proceed with our case, they were always professional but curteous and friendly. I was scared for my son, but always felt Mr. Williams was doing everything in his power to help, without giving false hope or making promises he couldn't deliver on. Bottom line, when all was said and done, I was very happy and relieved with the outcome. Mr. Williams did a fantastic job! On an unrelated matter, I was also moved to tears when Mr. Williams called later as a follow up to see how we were doing after he learned of a death in our family. I would recommend anyone to Jesse L. Williams!!
