Jesse Latta Williams

I hired them even though they were almost 2 hours away from were I live and it was worth every penny. I worked with Betsy and she was amazing, she made me feel at ease through the entire process. They were always attentive and got back to me on all of my questions and concerns. They are the best in t...he area!

Got pulled over in Traverse last year, ended up landing two charges: one for possession of marijuana and another for operating while intoxicated. Jesse was willing to help me out even with my budget for an attorney being considerably lower than normal. He and his whole team have been great throughout... the last six months, on top of communication and friendly. Jesse was very knowledgeable and always kept it real with me, making sure I knew what was going on throughout the process. Outcome was favorable, would definitely recommend!

Worth every dollar! Hired Jesse just before my son was gonna be sent down the river by another attorney. (I won't go into detail about charges but they were serious and BS) This man was knowledgeable, understanding, available and did right by my child. He answered all our questions (even when we may... have asked the same one again). Jesse was able to get the best outcome my son could have hoped for. I highly recommend this attorney and in the event he is ever needed again in the future, he will be our first call.

I am not sure if I can quite explain with words how grateful I am for this man. He has helped me find a better direction in life. By successfully figuring out a way to have justice served in a truly fair manner. From the beginning to the end I personally expected some sort of incarceration. The charg...es I was originally charged with were indeed terrifying to say the least. I had called a list of attorneys that have a good reputation locally. When I spoke with Jesse, he was confident and honest about how he wanted to help me with my case. Which is important to me and definitely showed in the long run. All the way through he managed to set things in the right direction. Not to mention dealing with me being very anxious with my worries, and probably rather annoying at one point. I feel he went further than most would with legal representation. Basically, I was facing what seems like a lifetime in prison, and the results were absolutely no jail at all. Not only did he get the charges I did not commit dismissed, but he coached me through the process in the respect that I needed. This really just sums it up without much fine detail. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a straight forward person to help them with getting the proper treatment throughout the court system. By being patient with one another and following through with each other, it was genuinely satisfying. I had a hunch that he was the right choice immediately while speaking to him over the phone, before I had officially hired him. I am sure glad I decided to choose him. Don't think that sentencing could have went more smoothly. Might be safe to say I trust Mr. Williams with my life. Priceless! Few more specific details... I was charged with two felonies, and three misdemeanors. The felonies were dismissed along with another charge. He handled the contact to victims/witnesses (serving subpoenas), prosecuting department, and judge very well. This all took 3 months. Was affordable. I was stressed out. Now I am carrying on with my life. It is such a relief to even be here able to share my experiences. Mr. Williams definitely knows what he is doing, and does a great job at it.

I am so blessed to have had Jesse Williams for my defense attorney. In the fall of 2014 I got caught up in the mess of a lifetime over a simple misunderstanding with Michigan's very confusing medical marijuana law. And it happened in a very conservative county in the upper peninsula so the cards were... stacked against me from the very beginning. The prosecutor wanted me severely punished because I was a public school teacher that had a medical marijuana card and he was very difficult to deal with. The prosecutor constantly pushed back dates, and didn't bring evidence to court. He made all kinds of excuses to draw out the length of my defense. Jesse was incredible in the court room and he does a great job with questioning witnesses and talking to the judge. He sometimes suprised us with quick changes in direction of his questioning that led to very helpful answers. We fought for two years and we were about to go to trial before a reasonable plea bargain was offered. I was originally facing 5 felonies a max of 37 years (which was totally ridiculous) in prison, and my plea bargain boiled down to one felony that can be expunged, and 6 months probation. Jesse also convinced the judge to allow me to access cannabis for medicinal purposes while on probation which is a huge victory considering the chronic pain condition that I suffer from. In those two years worth of battle Jesse always did a great job of doing what was best for me. He loves to go to battle in trial, but said he thought trial wasn't what was best for me. I think most lawyers would have advised what was best for their pocket books in that case because going to trial would have been a nice sized pay check for him. But he wanted what was best for me and he honestly cared about getting me the best possible outcome. In a few years I will have a clean record and will be able to get back to teaching if I want. And most importantly, he saved me from sitting in prison for a crime I really didn't commit. I would recommend him to anyone who is in trouble because he was worth every penny and then some. My family and I will always be greatful for what he did for us.
