Excellent in all areas

Jesse Williams took our case on with shorter notice than I am sure is ideal. He was very knowledgeable and professional with extreme integrity. He was attentive and kept us well informed- he explained the different options that could take place. He made sure we clearly understood the proceedings an...d the possible implications that could take place with the verdict we entered. You could tell he truly cared about helping people and seeing just decisions carried out. I would definitely recommend him and would look no further if I needed any legal advice or assistance in the future.

DLAD Appeals

Mr. Williams succesfully guided me through the lengthy process of appealing a DLAD hearing denial. He, as well as his assistant, were professional from start to finish. He took the time to answer my questions and addressed my concerns. He explained the whole process and what to expect at each stage o...f the appeal. On a more personal note, his candor and straight forward answers helped ease the anxiety of tackling what felt at the time to be an overwhelming task. In court, his arguments were succinct, well developed, and most certainly well spoken. His demeanor is that of humble professionalism. There are lawyers out there that will take advantage of people who require counsel. We spoke at length in regard to my case before he made the decision to represent me. He told me what the costs would be, and what I could expect from him in return. I believe Jessie Williams possesses an uncommon level of integrity in his field, and I would happily recommend him.

Exceeded my expectations!

I was charged with an OWI, high BAC, in Petoskey in November of 2014. I live downstate, and was referred to Jesse by a highly regarded lawyer in my area. With this being my second offense, and having a bond violation, I was possibly facing a short amount of jail time. Jesse was thorough in his exp...ectations, and prepared me for the worst case scenario. He set it up so that I could do my pretrial and sentencing in the same day, saving me an extra trip up north. Jesse ended up doing a plea for me, and I walked away with 6 months probation through mail, and 24 hours of community service. I couldn't have been happier with the results. I must also mention that Jesse had a sudden injury that was possibly going to prevent him from appearing at my court date, but he went above and beyond to make it there to represent me. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in my situation. He is knowledgable, helpful and worth every penny!

Great lawyer who cares about helping others!

Mr. Williams took over our case after our previous lawyer failed to get results. Within 24 hours he had the charges against my son reduced and got him in a "First Offender" program so that it will be off of his record in one year. He truly showed compassion and concern and we are forever grateful ...to him.

Jesse Williams, knowledgeable attorney.

Jesse was able to get a reduced sentence with which I was extremely satisfied. Jesse worked with the prosecuting attorney, explaining my clean background, and was able to plea my case down to a misdemeanor from a felony charge.
