I was charged in a felony information with Resisting
and Obstructing Police Officer (Felony). I was also given notice that the prosecutor
intended to increase the maximum punishment to up to 15 years in prison
because i had been convicted of at least 4 prior felonies! Jeff was able to get the charges reduced to attempt Resist and obstructing Police officer(Misdemeanor)with very Minimal Court Fines, fees and costs! I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! Jeff has went above and beyond for me and I shall be forever grateful for the work and effort he put into my cases. I.M.H.O.

After a failed attempt with my first attorney, Attorney Daniel Andoni was knowledgeable, courteous and aggressive to my needs for my court case. When I retained him he put together a game plan based on what I requested him to do and he got sole custody for my daughter in a state where it’s believed to be mother-favoring. I would highly recommend Daniel Andoni for any family court case!

I am in a unique position because I had to hire Attorney Andoni twice. Both cases were emotionally, financially and legally difficult. His office was very good at keeping me updated as to what I should expect and the next steps in the process. He helped guide me through some very difficult decisions and also helped me to consider the long term effects of those decisions. Looking back I am thankful for his professional, honest, and strategic advice. I hope you never need a divorce attorney but if you do, I strongly recommend Attorney Andoni.

I was in a rough spot once my divorce started. I honestly didn't know where to turn to. I found Tara Parker online and requested a meeting. I briefed her on how everything started out for me. My Ex-Wife ran off with my children, without me knowing, accused me of things that I would never do, and wouldn't let me know where my children were, and if they were ok. My daughter is autistic and was taken out of Therapy for a lengthy time, my son was taken out of school and wasn't enrolled into school until 4 weeks later. Tara Parker and Amy Koshy helped me out so much. I was on the losing end, paying an exuberant amount of child and spousal support, the courts willingly gave her the kids, and it seemed like I was a total loss. Tara Parker and Amy Koshy assured me to hold my head up high, be strong, and the courts will decide the right thing in the end. A lot of new information was brought into light, I was able to start seeing my kids, and In the end, due to the grueling 1 year battle of this divorce, I got my children back, permanently. The case was flipped and I definitely cried at the news when I was told by Amy. God Bless these two, and for all they have done. They definitely give Fathers a fighting chance to see and have their children again! Thank You.

Tara Parker is an amazing attorney. She guided me through a very challenging case for me. She helped me to negotiate a distressful divorce. After meeting with Tara a few times and going over my case I felt ready I would get a fair outcome. And she did exactly that!! Even his attorney made the comment that I had a great attorney. She also has an amazing assistant-Amy! My family and I are so thankful for both of them. They are very knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Mr. Clothier was extremely helpful with my case, he called me back on a Saturday morning to calm my emotions and ensured me everything would be okay. He walked me through very step of my case and kept me informed throughout the process, keeping patient on my end was critical to allow Mr. Clothier to work his contacts for the best outcome possible. I followed everything Mr. Clothier asked that I do; to allow the best outcome. In the end everything went as Mr. Clothier said, I received the best outcome possible and saved thousands of dollars. I highly recommend if you need help to contact Jay Clothier and have him defend you. He is TOP NOTCH in my book.

While inquiring a new attorney for my (high conflict) family law case I asked both family and friends for recommendations. Attorney Chatterton came highly recommended from both sides. I was immediately impressed by Attorney Chatterton during our initial consultation. Not only was I able to give ample information but also very specific details pertaining to my case that prior attorneys had dismissed my concerns for. Attorney Chatterton did not once interrupt and instead, listened intently to my concerns, and at one point asked me to continue when I thought I was taking up his time. He found my case extremely interesting. Ive now been through five years of legal representation and never has a prior attorney been able to do what Attorney Chatterton accomplished for me. With less than a week to prepare before the motion hearing, Attorney Chatterton was able to analyze my case history and represent me to the fullest, without any further hearings, or case modifications (exactly as I was hoping). I only wish I would have had his representation from the beginning. Attorney Chatterton’s professional and legal experience has provided me with secure advocacy for all my future legal needs. I will continue to look to him for guidance and recommend him to others due to his outstanding and exceptional services.

A previous employer stated I was a no call no show. The reality is that I was laid off during covid. After several appeals on my own to no avail and a missed hearing, I was referred to Cristine. The state wanted several tens of thousand of dollars in back payment. It was a truly terrifying situation to be in, with Cristine's help the judge decided he would hear my case. Ultimately the ruling was in my favor and could not be happier with the outcome. Definitely would recommend her to anyone with any issues regarding unemployment. Very knowledgeable and helpful, I am very grateful for her service!

Shaun has to be the best attorney serving the Genesee County area. I have used his services on a few occasions over the years, with great outcomes. He has always been professional, and to the point. Shaun is very responsive to calls and emails, making himself available to answer any and all of the questions I had. He is one of the few attorneys who will actually call you back personally, and in a timely manner. When I was worried the worst was going to happen, he was able to set my mind at ease. If you are in need of a great attorney for criminal or traffic infractions, he should be your first call. Shaun is extremely efficient, knowledge, and well respected by the prosecutors and judges, in the area, exactly what you need in an attorney. Hopefully no more tickets for me, but if it happens, guess who I’m calling.
Thank you Shaun!

I had ran a red light while drunk and smashed into a truck, flipping it over(somehow no one was injured). My blood work came back as super drunk. Although this was my first offense Shaun was able to get me off with 18 months probation, some fines and a madd class. Saved me from going to jail or prison. Forever grateful

As someone who has never been in trouble with the law, I was so scared and a complete nervous wreck searching for an attorney. When I consulted with Shaun Marks, that was the first thing that set him apart from other attorneys. He put my mind at ease and I could tell he truly cared about helping me. I don't think I would've recieved that kind of dedication to my case from anyone else. I felt he was the right attorney to hire and after my case was dismissed, I was so thankful I chose him.

I needed a copy of my deceased father's will from almost 10 years ago. The person I spoke with was very helpful and polite. She told me she was going to check in to it and most likely give me a call back by the next morning because it was the end of the day. Well, she called me back in less than 20 mins, told me she had the documents ready for me, and also made an extra copy. When I arrived the next day, my documents were awaiting for me in an envelope with my name on it. Now that's what you call great service and taking care of your clients!

From the moment I seen her command the courtroom, I felt both honored and proud to be represented by her. Her assertiveness and dominance is something to be admired. Smart strong and passionate both to and for her clients. I can't say enough great things about Alex. She has been absolutely amazing from day one. I was dealing with a very messy situation after my dad passed away but she not only had all of the answers to my million questions, but was able to help ease my mind and was there for me when I had no one. She was so real and down to earth and fair. Don't ever say there isn't a honest lawyer because she is the best. Kind-hearted and true to the core!. She was so fast professional but also so personable, patient, reliable and there for me anytime I needed her. I can say in full confidence my situation has not been an easy one but she has remained amazing the entire time. I could not be happier with my choice and she has definitely earned not only a customer for life but also a friend.

Alexandra worked tirelessly once my father became terminal with cancer. He left behind a 2 year old son that we needed help with - figuring out all of the logistics and such. She had paperwork signed and hand delivered to the courthouse for us. When there was a custody battle for said child, she got us in contact with another amazing attorney.
Honestly she just went above and beyond. So professional and so knowledgable.
I cannot recommend her enough. I'd give her a million stars if I could. Contact her!

In my experience as a client, I have found that Mrs. Davis is well versed in Bankruptcy Law. Moreover, for every problem that arises during your proceedings, Mrs. Davis has or finds a solution. By walking you through each issue of your case, she helps you to make the best possible decision for you and your family. Getting your finances back on track is her expertise. The only negative thing about Mrs. Davis is that she's a Spartan fan.
Lastly, is my pleasure to endorse Mrs. Stacy Davis as your attorney. GO BLUE!!

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! She helped me though every step of the way with kindness. I very highly recommend Stacy Davis for the best bankruptcy help!

She always responded promptly to email communications and within 1 business day of telephone communications. She is a phenomenal attorney!

Anyone with a legal matter should start with Keven first. You'll be glad you did.

Attorney Olesko was my lawyer from March 31st to May 25th, 2016. We went to court 3 times. I was charged w/ causing an accident & leaving the scene of a crime. This was a 1st for me (I was NEVER charged w/ anything before!) & I was very, very scared. Diana explained everything to me; there were no surprises. With her I was calm. She addressed the court personnel & the case moved along as fast as it could. She was knowledgeable & kept me informed & always encouraged me to be completely honest; I was. She knew how to acquire information re. the person making the claim against me & even photos taken by the police. She shared all this information with me.
In the end, the person wanted me to cover her deductible to get her car repaired. I wrote her a check for the amount & I also paid a minimal amount for the court costs. I did not get any points regarding this so my car insurance will not increase.
I was VERY satisfied with the work Diana did for me & I would hire her again if I ever needed a lawyer; & God, I hope that does not happen!
