Jesse Latta Williams

Going to court for anything is stressful, let alone finding the right attorney to get the job done. Not being from the area and passing through, I had been stopped and charged with marijuana. Having heaps of responsibility in my life, I felt as though I had so much to lose (as I had). After doing ...thorough researching for a lawyer that not only specializes in such cases, but also won't just give you what you want to hear, and will level with you from the start, though, I discovered Jesse. He will tell it to you straight, and keep in touch with you, while putting himself in your place by showing understanding of what you have to lose. To an even more important level (separate from my own issue), he is driven by 'what is actually right,' doing his part at making this country a better place by helping people in their situations. He looks at the bigger picture: What is morally right to maintain freedom, not necessarily what is enforced, in which some freedoms are eluded. I definitely recommend Jesse Williams to be your attorney!

i got arrested for having my medical marijuana in a vehicle on new years eve. i ended up taking the plea bargain jesse arranged for me which was illegal transportation of my medicine. it maxed 93 days in jail and up to a 500$ fine. i thought for sure because of past misdemeanor convictions i was get...ting jail time and probation for being in possession of my own medicine. jesse was professional, knowledgeable, well spoken and to my amazement i left that court room w 100$ fine plus costs and no jail time or probation. i hope i never need to but i wouldnt stop and think for even a second before calling Mr. williams if i ever needed a lawyers advice or services

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.
