We hired Jessie Williams to handle a Domestic Violence/DWLS case in Traverse City, MI. We were assigned a public defender, but the public defender had no intention of defending the charge. He only wanted to plea it out. Mr. Williams consulted with us and felt that the charge would not stand in co...urt. Mr. Williams defended this case with the utmost compassion and decorum. He communicated with us regularly, keeping us updated on all motions, hearing dates, prosecutor meetings & discovery. Mr. Williams was honest in his assessment of the case, and forthwith with any investigative findings. We found Mr. Williams fees to be customary & reasonable. He even went against his normal protocol allowing us to pay his fee in installments. The only thing he required was that the fees be paid before the hearing date. Almost unheard of in today's attorney contracts. Mr. Williams did get us a NOT GUILTY verdict. He made his case on cross examination of the prosecutors witnesses alone. All this was accomplished with adamant resistance from the prosecutors office.. I would highly recommend Jessie Williams for any legal situation that may arise. His office staff was courteous, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. His investigative staff was first rate, and stayed with the case through the hearing. We are very fortunate to have found the right advocate in Jessie Williams. Please consider his firm when looking for legal counsel. He has a broad area of experience and he covers a wide area of Northern Michigan. We witnessed a high respect from all areas of the court system towards him and from him. You can rest assured if using Mr. Williams you will receive honest and sound legal advise, as well as excellent support from his staff. 5 STAR rating from us. .
