Medical Marijuana
I found myself pulled over by a northern Michigan sheriff who smelled marijuana in my car - I have a medical marijuana card yet the sheriff interpreted the law his own way and as a result I spent a night in jail. A Detroit lawyer I know recommended I call Jesse and explain the circumstances to him - ...

'Man of his word'
I used Jesse for a medical marijuana case. I am a licensed caregiver and due to a mistake on two of my patients applications i was arrested for being over the limit on the amount of trees i had at the moment. Although my former attorney explained to the agents that the applications had been resolved...
"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."
