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.

On December 27th, 2013 I was arrested for delivery/manufacture/possession of controlled substance. I had given a friend whom I found out later was an informant for the JOLT narcotics team for Charlevoix county, a couple of Vicodins because she asked me for them saying she was in bad shape and her sc...ript ran out. I gave them to her, she offfered money and I refused and said what are friends for. That was in Oct, almost 3 months later the Detective and sheriffs deputy showed up at my house and arrested me. I had prior felony convictions for DUI and they wanted to nail me with habitual offender. I was in deep trouble. I cooperated with the detective and admitted I did give her a couple pills. Bad Mistake! Never ever admit when arrested. Keep your mouth shut. Had I kept quiet, Jesse would have gotten me off on Entrapment. It took nearly 5 months to get my case settled. Alan Telgenhof, PA of Charlevoix County did not want to budge from the original charge. Jesse was relentless and finally was able to work out a plea deal. Jesse and his team consisting of Sandi, were great. Jesse will not sugar coat anything. He may come off as arrogant and hard nosed but I can assure you, he will get the job done! Finally, last week, I thought for sure I was facing jail, prepared my things and affairs at home thinking I wouldn't be back for awhile. I ended up with a Felony still with the plea but I walked out of that courtroom with no probation, no jail, just minimal fines. I highly recommend Jesse for any drug case you may have. Like I said, he's professional, will not sugar coat anything but will get the job done. I was extremely proud to have Jesse standing by my side, speaking highly of me to the judge and at the same time, letting the judge know what a joke the JOLT narcotics team is and how they entrap innocent people to do things they normally wouldn't do and to have you be branded a drug dealer. It's a shame our law enforcement agencies only care about numbers and not how it affects peoples lives down the road. Jesse does not stand for that bullsh#t. He will fight, pick them apart and do his absolute best for you. Very reasonable in fees as well. Highly recommend!!!!!
