Better Call Jesse!
My father gave me one piece of advice that stuck. He said, "Always hire the best lawyer you can afford because the return on the investment is incalculable". Jesse is that lawyer. In addition to building one of the most formidable law firms in the State of Michigan, Jesse has a proven record of ...

Grateful for Jesse
We are so grateful that we hired Jesse to represent our son in his criminal case. Jesse and his team worked hard researching, talking to mental health experts, consulted with colleagues, and spent lots of time talking with our son while he was in jail. Jesse made sure that the prosecutor followed the...

Won’t be disappointed if you hire Jesse!
We hired Jesse to represent my son who got an MIP. This was his second one and was facing misdemeanor charges which would’ve been listed as a criminal offense and on his record for life. Because of Jesse being extremely knowledgeable of the law, he was able to get this sentence reduced to a civil i...
"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."
