Magnificent!!!! Awesome!!!! Brilliant!!!
Mr. Williams was consulted and retained to represent my son with a double felony. His magnicent preparation and highly skillful presentation in court, produced very very favorable results. Before you settle in on just any attorney, think twice and reach out to Mr. Williams.

The BEST Defense Lawyer!!!
Jesse is the lawyer you need! I was charged with domestic assault at the end of August 2016 and my case was dismissed almost exactly one month to the date later. Jesse came highly recommended by another respected attorney in Northern Michigan and I'm so thankful I made the call to him. I was accus...

Excellent Defense; Accused erroneously of disorderly conduct.
Jesse did an excellent job defending my daughter who was accused erroneously of disorderly conduct. My daughter hired Jesse to represent her and was very pleased with the outcome. He knows the local court system well, he navigates and negotiates the system expertly. I would recommend him to all that ...

Life saver!
Was looking at 6 months in jail after several violations on probation. I still had 20 months on probation and things were looking terrible... We decided probation was just a problem for me and it was likely I'd get in more trouble and this would go on for a long time. The game plan was to face jail t...
"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."
