I would absolutely hire Mr. Wyatt again, and was indeed more than satisfied with the results of my DUI case. He remained committed throughout the process to ensure the best possible outcome. I needed to secure his services once again during the sentence to protect my rights against a "private agent" of the court, and Scott worked diligently on my side to assure everyone involved played fair.. with better results than I could have ever expected.

When people say they have a great lawyer and, someone they can recommend, there is a natural inclination to still feel uneasy. What do you mean by a "great lawyer" they ask me. Why do you recommend him? In short: Scott F. Wyatt represents something more than just your run-of-the-mill attorney. A man who will not only treat you like family, but is passionate about doing so! When I first met Scott F. Wyatt the attributes that struck me immediately were: His attentive nature, calm disposition and "one of the good ole boys" attitude. I never felt rushed or worried when we were sitting in the courthouse before trial. In fact, after we went over how we were going to approach the trial, we kicked back and talked fishing, sports, music (dude has some great taste) and a little philosophy. This made my very stressful situation seem like dust in the breeze at times. Now, he's where his true talent comes into play. I was in quite a bit of trouble. I had a potential DUI, which, in my opinion, was wrongly accused. I felt like there was nothing I could do, though. That is, until Scott Wyatt looked over my case. He made sure we covered EVERY avenue, EVERY nook and cranny. By the time we were done he had amassed for me a case that was not only expertly constructed, but also passionately. This is because Scott Wyatt doesn't do this just for the money, he has STRONG CONVICTIONS towards helping his client and an abusive system that manipulates the weak. Trust me when I say that if you are the underdog, he's the best man in the business to even those odds. As mentioned previously, I was so intimidated, I was so frustrated. He raised my spirits and my confidence, but he never promised me something he could not do. He reminded me, "Look Josh, we got a strong case, but there's a chance we don't come out of this without a black eye.", but when I made my decision to take this to trial, he was behind me 100%. To make a long story short, we pressed on, it was a battle of attrition. He showed me how to present myself to the judge, told me to get recommendations from work, my union, family, friends, community service. Then first of many settlements approached... A year probation, fines and a lowered charge. However, it would've stayed on my record and I wasn't going to stand for that. When I showed my desire to fight, I could have sworn I saw the fangs of a lion in his smile. So, we declined and pressed for trial. After a few more lack luster settlements, the day before trial, I got a phone call. They wanted to settle... I went to court and the results were in: Expired tabs, what I was ORIGINALLY pulled over for. I couldn't believe it, but Scott could. After the trial we kicked back at my house by the pool, had a barbecue and smoked some well deserved cigarettes. To me, Scott is MUCH MORE than just your run-of-the-mill paper work lawyer. He's a true diamond in the ruff. There is no better man in Michigan for your legal troubles. He's passionate, strong, believes in his ability to succeed and will make you feel like family. So, when I say I have lawyer for you, I mean much, much more than that. I have not only a lawyer for you but someone who, after my experience with him, I can call on as a friend. Who looks out for his client like the alpha wolf leads the pack. So when your legal issues look too tough, I recommend Michigan's "diamond in the ruff" Scott F. Wyatt.

Stuart was referred to me 10 years ago by another attorney who could not do what we needed in planning an estate. He helped us set up the estate then, and then 10 years later, helped guide us in moving the estate to the heirs. Stuart competently guided us through a complicated process, raised important issues we hadn't considered, and was a real mensch through the whole process. So glad we found him.

Prior to meeting Melissa, I was in desperate need of support from my bankbruptcy attorneys. I had retired early from my job due to medical reasons and my SS didn't begin until 5 months later. I tried to explain the financial issues to my attorneys: I emailed both of them and tried to contact them on the phone. My calls were not once answered or returned. Neither were the several (rather desparate ) emails I sent to both, explaining the changes in my circumstances and that I was unable to pay the Court until I received my retroactive Social Security payments. After 60 days with no contact from them, I called the trustee's office , discussed my situation and was sent a listing of attorneys in my area. I feel that I am extremely fortunate that I selected Melissa's firm (Charles Schneider). My appointment was scheduled within a couple of days of my initial call, my prior case notes were discussed with me and my options on how best to proceed were carefully explained. After followup calls and appointments with Melissa, my case was reviewed by the Court. Bottom line: My case issues were all resolved and Melissa also negotiated more affordable monthly payments due to my retirement and reduced income. I cannot praise her efforts and support enough!

Going through any bankruptcy is not easy. But Melissa made it less painful. Her excellent knowledge of the law and the inner workings of the bankruptcy court was key in helping us to file, maintain, and finally complete our bankruptcy. Near the end of our bankruptcy due my wife being forced to retire and we losing half of our income we were forced to request a modification. Melissa took on this challenge, negotiating with our remaining creditors and the trustee for an approved modification to our plan that was acceptable to all parties involved, helped us avoid incurring new debt in the process. I highly recommend this attorney if you are faced with bankruptcy. Communication with , and compassion for the client are two things that Melissa excelled at. She exceeded my expectations.

Stacy Davis treated me with with respect and dignity when she handled my bankruptcy case. I was unfairly and abruptly fired from my job I'd had for 9 year and could no longer pay my bills. I had filed for bankruptcy in the past as a result of ending a bad marriage and the lawyer who represented me made me feel bad about myself. Stacy was the complete opposite of that past lawyer!

I intend to propose to my long-time girlfriend later this summer, so that we can move to Las Vegas together by the end of December. After that, we needed urgent help fixing our credit. I had a car loan, student loans and credit card debt. I also had another debt (mortgage). My girlfriend had 93k in consumer debt, with 75k of it on credit cards and the rest on her Acura. She does well in her career (makes $120k/yr. gross) which she has a spending issue. Well, I sought help online and I read quite a lot of good reviews about a credit guy called PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I contacted him for credit help. We got started and after a couple of days, PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST cleared the debts on my credit profile and eventually raised my score to 811. All these miracles happened in March.

We had a very scary situation with our land contract home where we lived happily for almost 10 years. Then we had our happiness turned upside down. We felt threatened, worried and felt our home was going to be taken away from us without any explanation that made logical sense. We immediately started looking for a lawyer to represent us. I spent several hours making calls. I called Metro Detroit Bankruptcy Law Group and got in touch with Mr Sandweiss. He told me that he was going to be in the Westland area that afternoon and we could meet. Our home is in Garden City. That afternoon Mr Sandweiss & I met and he took the time to look over all the documents I had at that time and explain them to me so i could understand what was happening and what rights we had. He was extremely kind and understanding and truly understood how terrified I was. After our meeting he gave me advice on what to do and to give him a call if we needed him. We needed him. Over the last few years Mr Sandweiss has represented us in our case in Garden City Mi & in Detroit Mi. We decided to hire Mr Sandweiss because his mannerisms and he isn’t afraid fight for what is right. He sticks to the law and he knows his law extremely well. His dedication for his clients is incredible. Mr Sandweiss gave me a feeling of hope and confidence, he gave me a feeling of security that we were not going to have our home ripped away from us. Mr Sandweiss became our beacon of hope, our ray of light.He made me feel like I am a riser, a survivor of the fire. I spent many hours in the court room with Mr Sandweiss, he does not back down, he stands up and fights for what is right. I have learned a lot over this nightmare we have been living in. I thank God every day for putting Mr Sandweiss in our path. Without him, I truly don’t know what would have happened to our situation. Thanks to Mr Sandweiss, I have that confidence and feeling of safety back. I also feel like we gained an extended family member. We will forever be grateful for everything that he has done for us and no amount of start will ever be enough. He truly is amazing lawyer. We ever need a lawyer in the future I won’t hesitate to think to call, Mr Sandweiss ! THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS MR SANDWEISS! Words can not express how greatly appreciative we are of you!!! 5 stars is just not enough for Mr Sandweiss!! He goes above and beyond for his clients!

First, thank you John for all that you did for my daughter and I. If you are looking for a great criminal defense attorney Downriver or beyond, look no further than John McNally. He handled my daughter's case and ended up getting the matter dismissed. He is a very knowledgeable, respected and trustworthy attorney. From the 1st day I met with him, he made my daughter and I feel very comfortable and assured us that everything was going to be o.k. He passed no judgment on the situation we were in and was very caring and compassionate. He kept in touch with my daughter weekly to see how she was doing and gave her some very sound advice. Even though her matter was dismissed, he has asked that she keep in touch with him to let him know how she is doing. He makes you feel as if you are part of his family. I hope my daughter will never get into a situation like this again, but if she does, John will be the first one I call.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Francie Novar on two separate matters. In each case she helped me to achieve exactly the outcome I was hoping for. It was important to me to try and be reasonable and amicable in dealing with the opposing party. However, I also wanted to know that I was working with someone who would fight hard for my needs if it came down to it. She took so much stress off my shoulders through the process. I was able to focus on everything else going on in my life because I could trust that my case was being expertly handled. That alone is so valuable and hard to find. Francie is an excellent choice if you want to work with someone professional and knowledgeable who will give you realistic expectations. Your lawyer is there to prepare you for what to expect and Francie will tell you how she thinks your case is likely to go and what your best options are. It might not be what you want to hear but it will be what you need to hear. That is what you get when you work with someone honest, straight forward, and experienced. Every step of the way I felt as though Francie did her best to keep my legal costs down which is another reason I trust and recommend her. If another need arises I would certainly call Francie as my first choice option.

She takes the time to understand the details of your case and to understand how the law applies to specific situations. She is always polite yet firm with difficult individuals and cases. She knows the law and never attempts to take short cuts or the easy way out. Highly recommend, especially for complex and contentious litigation in family law.

I purchased a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica in June 2016. In August things started going wrong with just about everything. It was in and out of the dealership every month. After months of this, I contacted Chrysler to submit a case to their buy back department. Again, months went by and no resolution from them. I found Troy by web searches. He was local and reviews were great. I was impressed with prompt returned calls and emails. He listened and had my best interest at heart.

I found Troy by searching attorneys for the Lemon Law, l liked what I read and thought I would give him a try. It would be my first time dealing with an attorney that I had never met, however my outcome was perfect. I had a 2015 Jeep Patriot that I had purchased in January of 2015 and only had 3000 miles on it. I took it in twice within 30 days for the sun roof leaking, 5 times within a month because of the check engine light. They tried to fix the sunroof but the transmission was another story. The last time they had it for 30 days and had to call engineers from Auburn Hills to come out. They literally torn that vehicle apart from top to bottom. I didn't feel comfortable with the fact they said they fixed it and it fell within the Lemon Law guidelines. My dealings with Troy were very easy I could email him information, fax it to him or need be talk with him. I learned from him that I signed the arbitration agreement which I pretty much signed my rights away because I used an employee discount something people don't realize when signing all the forms for a purchase, but if you don't sign it you cannot use the discount. However, in the end with persistence on his part he was able to get Chrysler to honor the lemon law. The middle of January 2016 I was given a refund from Chrysler all but $500 for mileage and they paid him in full. I can't thank him more for what he did, I would recommend him to anyone that needs help with a lemon.

After having a defamation anit-SLAPP motion already dismissed in Texas, I hired Enrico through his law firm, Traverse Legal. I consulted with Enrico on the phone, and was immediately impressed with his diverse legal team of experts, all reasonably priced. Enrico was key in driving his team, coordinating conversations, coordinating milestone appeal deadlines, and communicating everything to me in a very prompt and professional manner. His law firm uses a web based bulletin board system, which makes the tracking of my case, and communication with the legal team, incredibally efficient and productive. There was never a time that I didn't know what was going on. Extremely well organized communication system. Enrico, though his own legal expertise and that of his team, quickly determined that filing an anti-SLAPP Appeal was not the best approach for my case. The best approach was to gain leverage in order to negotiate a settlement with the Plantiff. Enrico strongly encouraged a mediation, which I declined due to the normal cost of mediation and the perceived stubborness of the Plantiff to drag it out. I opted for settlement discussions outside of mediation. These discussions were timely and always represented my interests. Progress was made with the settlement discussions, until a wall was hit where the Plantiff became increasingly unreasonable, where it was apparent to me that the Plantiff really wanted a trial. Since Enrico was not local to Texas, I opted to switch law firms to a local litigator to proceed to the trial phase. I would strongly reccomend Enrico and Traverse Legal to anyone. They were awesome.

We've been working with Enrico Schaefer for the last year and we are very happy with the work he's done for us. Traverse Legal is quite a bit different than other firms we've retained. They aren't in the same city and we don't meet face-to-face (which really doesn't matter to us). We are involved in internet sales - and Enrico is especially aware of the issues faced by our type of business. Simply put - there's a very nice fit between our unique business challenges and Enrico's skill set. The extranet application Traverse Legal offers allows us to keep track of various project easily and fosters a very collaborative environment. We are able to see all pertinent info on our projects with a click of a mouse - 24/7. His project-based billing model is nice as it allows us to fix a budget around something we need to accomplish instead of having to guess. Enrico and staff are also very accessible and answer our questions almost instantly. So far - our experiences have been very positive. We would recommend Traverse Legal.

Through the difficult time of going through my divorce, I felt I was more than just a paying client. I felt Dan was always looking out for my best interests and genuinely cared about me as a person. In addition to his professionalism, his friendly manner made me feel at ease. Dan always took the time to answer all my questions and never made me feel rushed. He is patient, trustworthy, reachable and kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs to get through a tough and difficult time and still have their sanity intact. There is no adequate way to express how grateful I am that Dan was my lawyer.

I met with Mr. Berchiatti by way of reference of a shared acquaintance. Before our first meeting, my only perception of divorce and/or lawyers was from what I gleaned from television or movies. Due to my naive understanding of reality, I guess I expected a huge building with numerous secretaries and even a reporter or two. Divorce is an awful experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Instead, I entered the small building in Allendale, was approached at the door by a gentle golden lab, and then quickly greeted by Mr. Berchiatti who introduced himself as Dan. The first thing he asked when we went into his conference area was that I tell him "what's going on." He was patient, attentive, asked questions, and took notes. Since it was my wife that had filed, I was unfamiliar with the process (and always felt a step behind), but Dan examined my case (they are all different) and was able to succinctly outline several key components: 1. What to expect next 2. What to do to prepare for what happens next 3. What not to do! I did not feel rushed. I did not feel ashamed (maybe a little). I did not feel I should look for a different attorney. I was almost always able to reach him right away, and if not, he was certain to return my calls at his next convenience. He even went out of his way to explain to me how to fill out large portions of the paper work on my own, thus saving myself money by not paying him to do it. I never felt he had anything but my best interest in mind. As I said, every divorce case is different, and what works for one, may not work for another. However, I have no regrets having hired Mr. Berchiatti to represent my case, and I have no reservations about recommending him to others.

my husband got very ill, very fast to a point that I could not care for him at home without endangering my own health.I was at my last bit of sanity and a friend told me about Rob. I went there and he helped me save of my assests that we had put away for our "golden years". Without his guidance and experience I feel I would have been in financial ruins. I feel so fortunate to have him as our lawyer I have taken the liberty to hand out his cards to family and friends

My Father was stricken with a very aggresive form of lung cancer and it was clear to be able to provide for my mother's well being we needed a different financial strategy then the one planned by my parents and we needed it fast. I consulted with Rob and he provided my brothers and I not only with a very clear understanding of our options but a recomendation and action plan that when executed would take care of my Mothers long term care. Having said that we needed to act fast and within a few days Rob had all of the legal work complete and executed just a few days before my Father died. Rob listened and understood our needs. Developed and executed the plan in a very timely manner. I could not strongly recomend Rob enough to anyone seeking advice and help for their elderly parents.

It is hard to put into words how incredibly grateful I am for the exceptional legal representation provided by Jamil Khuja. Thanks to his expertise, dedication, and thorough understanding of the law, I was successfully acquitted of the charge against me. His dedication, expertise, and personal approach were invaluable during the most stressful period of my life, making it feel a little bit more manageable. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond—offering not just legal guidance but genuine support and care. I highly recommend Jamil to anyone in need of a skilled criminal trial defense attorney who truly fights for their clients.

Jamil was great to communicate and deal with. Easy to get a hold of and you can tell he cares about your situation and case. I was dealing with a domestic violence case, and he was upfront and honest on what the expectations were and how we were going to attack the case to win. I’m really thankful i was able to have Jamil on my side as he easily eased my concerns and won the case.

Another lawyer wanted me to plead guilty and I almost listened even though I didn’t want to. Then I hired Mr. Khuja and he listened to me and walked me through every possibility with my case so I decided to trust him to do a jury trial. Immediate difference when I walked into court with him by my side. They started making better offers but I still turned them down because I knew Mr. Khuja could win my case. Trial lasted a week but it only took the jury maybe 15 minutes to find me NOT GUILTY. He was expensive but worth every penny. I owe him my freedom and will always be grateful for what he did for me.

It was daunting to have to find a lawyer to help me through the most difficult time in my life. Erica was welcoming and not intimidating especially on my first visit with her, when I was still searching for representation. She made me feel comfortable when discussing private matters and truly fought for my best interests and what was best for my girls and I and our future. She supported me through the whole process and kept me updated continually through all of the steps and procedures, especially when I had questions. I would highly recommend Erica. She listened to my wants and needs and put these into action, keeping my best interests in mind the entire time. I made it through the most difficult time in my life and now I can move on thanks to her efforts!

Erica helped me with two custody disputes in 3 years. While the process was extremely stressful for me, I felt better knowing Erica was handling it for me again. She is knowledgeable, sensible, and extremely competent. I never had to wonder what was happening with my case. Personally, I needed someone who took me seriously when I described what I wanted for my 5 year old no matter how silly or small the requests may have seemed. Erica did that, and more. Everything I asked for she requested and expanded on, and she never made me feel like I was being unreasonable or trivial. When you have to go through something like this you want an attorney that truly cares and understands like Erica does. I am so thankful that it's finally over, but most importantly Erica's efforts created an order that both me and my daughter can live with for the next 13 years. I am very happy. I received nearly everything I asked for in regards to what's in the best interest of my little girl.

Called and did most over the phone with John Frazier. He understood the unusual circumstances of having limited ability to come into the office as I care for my disabled son. He took my minor sons misdemeanor careless driving case. He sent all forms to retain via email. Things got done quickly. He kept me informed of all dealings with the court or prosecutors at all times. We conversed mainly via email and he was very confident for the outcome of my case each step of the way. When I worried or waiverd he was professional in the manner in which to ease my concerns. I gave my complete trust and faith in him and he prevailed. I strongly recommend this firm and its team. Best part he was less than a “friend” was going to charge. Glad I made the call. Thank You John Frazier you will be my to go guy from here in our should I need a lawyer.

Mr. Fraser represented me in a child custody case in Ingram county. I had not previously been represented in family court and the results were devastating. My sons father was granted full physical custody and I was only allowed weekend and holiday visits. For eight years this went on. I had told everybody about the situation at my son’s father‘s house and how bad it was a nobody would listen, except for Mr. Fraser. They’re finally came a time when evidence of alcohol abuse and domestic violence from an outside source became available. And Mr. Fraser utilized that evidence to change my family’s life! After eight years of fighting, tears, lost time, and trying to tell my story, the truth was being told. We took this evidence to friend of the Court in Ingham County and Mr. Fraser was effective in presenting the evidence in a manner in which the judge was able to make a decision that was very positive for me, my son and our family. I have recommended Mr. Fraser to many of my coworkers and friends struggling to navigate family court and FOC. I consider Mr. Fraser a part of our extended family and we will forever be grateful.

I am a MMMP card holder with medical marijuana patient status and am licensed to grow my own medicinal marijuana plants at home. Thinking I was doing everything according to the rules, didn't prevent law enforcement from coming to the house to pay a visit. And in the process found things that they we're going to challenge....... period. Long story short, I wound up with Felony Manufacturing charges. Which if prosecuted to the full extent of the law would bring 4 years in prison with it. I knew immediately that I would need good, rather great, representation. That's when I contacted attorney John Fraser at Grewal Law in Okemos, and asked him to come on board. And thank God I did. First of all, as far as anyone in the Greater Lansing area that is an expert on Michigan Medical Marijuana Law, it's attorney Fraser for sure. So if you have a case pertaining to anything drug related, I would highly recommend your contacting him. But his expertise travels well beyond that of drug related law. And the team he works with at Grewal are also people of integrity, with a diverse array of special qualifications for really any legal need. My case looked as though it would be bound over to the circuit Court. But when he was able to present a few of our arguments to the prosecutor, she was faced with the reality that her case wasn't worth pursuing. And yes, without ever needing to even be present for my preliminary exam, the decision was made to throw out my case entirely! Judge signed the papers the following morning. And now all of this is behind me now...... for good. And for that I sincerely thank and commend Mr. Fraser.

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
