Saturday late night call awesome
I had a situation pop up with grpd that's Grand rapids Police department in Grand rapids Michigan. I got the free consultation from Brian Thomas called me back at 8:30 at night on a Saturday and explain to me the situation and what I needed to do at hand. After I explain the situation to him well enough he said I had something that he could work with. Certain information needs to be obtained before I can go to him and go to back for my rights and family having been violated stay tuned

New Speedial
Mr. Dailey how can I thank him enough? This man was able to get a felony charge reduced to a singular misdemeanor. Watching him at work was very impressive! He asked all the right questions because of the high level of concentration he maintained throughout all the hearings. He also drew out the case and it made them want to settle because they knew they didn't have a case because the witness they had was proven to be a not credible with events that occurred throughout the months of it being drawn out. Intelligent, wise, kind, and is now in my speed dial because he handles nearly every aspect of law. I'd recommend him to anyone. His law firm is also very helpful and professional!

Mr. Dailey was able to help my daughter avoid a misdemeanor for leaving the scene of an accident. He went out of his way to help her. Mr. Dailey had the court reschedule pre trials until he found an attorney who was reasonable. My daughter was given a fine and two tickets that do not have points. Mr. Dailey generously gave me a veteran's discount. I am so happy that I we

Auto accident
After my accident, I didn't know who to call or what to do. Brian was on top of my case and very resourceful. His team, specifically Lauren was in contact with me or responding without delay when I had questions about my case. I'd definitely recommend him to others who may have suffered a personal injury due to an accident.

Property damage and liability
I called the number that was given on the WJR The Law Show. I left a message and received a call back within an hour from leaving the message. Mr. Dailey was helpful in answering my questions and giving me advice. He also gave me the number of another attorney that was more familiar with real estate cases that might be able to clarify some of my questions that I had.

Best lawyer
I was arrested on the way to Michigan for electric Forest only like 20 mins from the border...I saw Brian's banner in the sky while at the festival. I contacted him after speaking with multiple attorneys and he was by far the most helpful and understanding. Even though he couldn't help me directly since it was another state he referred me to an attorney who showed the same amount of care. Thank you so much for flying that banner at the festival.

Thanks Electric Forest Lawyer
I was arrested going to Electric Forest for possession and contacted Brian to see if he could help with my case. While he was not able to take my case as my trial was not in his area, he recommended me to a really good lawyer, Andrew Achey. He also offered me continued counseling if I need help during my trial. Brian went above and beyond to help me with my case. I am so thankful for his hard work and dedication. Thanks Forest Lawyer!

All I can say about Mr. Dailey is that he is one of the nicest human beings I've ever met. He was the third lawyer I have hired since my accident, and he is what a lawyer should be like. Thank you for representing me and my family.

Work well done
Brian and his staff was professional, hard working and well versed. He and his staff worked hard to work out a deal better than what I was hoping for at a very reasonable cost. Brian had even answered emergency phone calls when he was out of town for me. 5/5 thank you Brian and Kyle

Electric forest
I am from Wyoming and got into some trouble in Michigan on my way to the electric forest this year, i had two charges, and Brian was able to get one charge dropped and on reduced, i could've been looking at loosing all my gun rights and lots of fines and probation, Brian was able to get me down to a $100 fine and no probation, and even got it done a week early and got me back to Wyoming so i didn't miss as much work. He is very professional and knows the Michigan laws well! I would recommend him to anyone seeking professional help! Thanks again Brian.
