It's not easy defending someone with an extensive criminal background, but Jessie was able to get my felonies dropped to just a couple misdemeanors. I was terrified the judge was still going to give me jail time. I have a son to care for and a a lot to lose on top of that. He fought for me tooth ...and nail without sugar coating my history and got me a minimum sentence. Jessie is an outstanding attorney.

I contacted Jesse Williams for a consultation regarding an interaction between law enforcement and a family member who is a minor. His advice was very helpful. As the process continued, he offered to intervene on our behalf. In a conference call, I was grateful to hear him defuse the situation with... this officer. His intimate knowledge of the law and personnel in the Traverse City area proved extremely important in a situation where we needed an advocate. We have continued to consult Mr. Williams regarding this matter and his advice has been extremely helpful in a very stressful situation. He has been compassionate in his interactions and, were this to become more serious, I'm confident that Mr. Williams would be a highly effective attorney on our behalf. We are very grateful for his help.

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.
