I was charged with a felony DUI. I met with attorney Neil Rockind. He explained the seriousness of my case and that his whole team would be working on my case. The state prosecutor was asking for 1-3 years of prison time. The first hurdle was I needed to travel to Europe for a month after my arrest. Attorney Samar scheduled an emergency date with the court. The judge allowed my travel and told me, "The only reason I am allowing your trip is the outstanding reputation of your lawyer, Thank him." Neil's team kept fighting for me several times when court dates arose over the next year. Attorney Colin kept me advised of the strategies, and Breanna constantly kept me updated of any dates and changes in my case. The communication from the firm was outstanding. The prosecution kept coming up with sentences that Mr. Rockind would not accept. After more than a year of battling for me, I ended up sentenced to 24 days in county jail. While incarcerated, I noticed people doing substantially longer jail sentences for charges that were much more minor (misdemeanor offenses) than mine. Neil Rockind and his team have an outstanding reputation in the court room, from the judges to the prosecutors. I felt it while going through the process. Mr. Rockind's fees are high, but the results of freedom are worth every penny! I have been sober for over three years and never plan to need Mr. Rockind's services again. But if you need the best criminal defense lawyer and want the absolute best results possible, please contact attorney Neil Rockind.

We didn’t know we were being scammed as it was all so confusing. Brian returned my call and said don’t follow their instructions regarding a new “Failure to show up in court scam” He then called the sheriff impersonator who would not give his badge number and hung up confirming the scam. What a relief we felt and Brian was so kind and helpful, and didn’t charge us anything. Thank you for being a true friend and supportive citizen.

My wife and I unfortunately had an automobile accident in 2021, and Matt Brown and his team were referred to us by a family friend. They treated us well, took us seriously, and were extremely professional, and timely with how they handled our case with us. It was a three year process, and they stayed patient and kept with us the whole time. When it came to other parties or needing someone else to do something for us, they were aggressive in getting it done and made sure it was done properly for us. They took great care of us and our family, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a lawyer to represent them.

TLDR: Great Lakes employs attorneys that are not only terrible at their job, but who will overbill you and treat you terribly.
You are doing yourself a tremendous disservice taking your business to Great Lakes. Kim Browning in particular is the single worst attorney I have ever had to deal with. She is both not very good at the legal aspect of her job, nor the customer service aspect.
She ended up billing me 3x higher than her initial estimate despite the fact that the case proceeded exactly as anticipated without any sort of hiccups.
What's more, despite the case progressing exactly as anticipated, she never gave me a clear understanding about what the next steps would be.
Worst, she WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOU. Despite paying her over $10k, she could not bother to respond to simple "yes" "no" emails without me having to send them to her 3+ times.
Please take your business elsewhere. With Great Lakes and Kim, all you'll get is a massive bill and disappointment.

Kimberly Browning and Stephanie Taylor helped me through the hardest thing I had to go through in life. I lost my dad and didn't know what to do next. Kimberly over heard me talking to people at court trying to figure out what to do next and offered to help. They have been amazing the whole year they helped me with my dad's estate. They always answered my questions. And I was always able to get ahold of them which was very important to me. I highly suggest great lakes family & estates!!

I can’t recommend Rutkowski Law Firm highly enough for their incredible support and guidance as we explored elder law options for my father. From the very first consultation, it was clear that their team is not only highly competent and knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate. They took the time to understand our unique situation, answered every question with patience, and offered creative suggestions tailored to my father’s needs.
What truly set them apart was their empathy AND their dedication to veterans. Navigating elder law can be overwhelming and emotional, but the Rutkowski team (i.e., Chris, Leah, and Angela) made us feel supported from the start.
If you’re looking for a law firm that combines professionalism with a heart, look no further!

We hired this law firm to assist with guardianship and conservatorship. The law firm was wonderful...to start with. This law firm does not help with the entire process. We were asked to withdraw counsel before the first and final hearing for conservatorship. We were told that the law firm does not help through the whole process because conservatorships can last 7-8 years, despite ours lasting less than a year. They left us to complete the legal paperwork on our own. Also, they suggested to create a trust to avoid probate. This was frowned upon by the court because they did not ask the court's blessing before it was done. The law firm told us the trust was not funded, which was not accurate because it was funded with the house, which by the way, had a lady bird and the trust messed this up. We also tried calling Rutkowski about help with probate, despite being a client, three weeks later we had not received a call back. This law firm was originally referred to us. We would not recommend this law firm, unless you want to pay alot of money for bad advice.

Getting a divorce is tough enough but trying to find a divorce attorney that you are comfortable with is even tougher. Sometimes,in my case,you just have to narrow a few down and then go with your gut feeling. Delia was really great and understanding with my situation. My now ex-wife and I were able to basically have an amicable divorce and Delia guided me/us (I did keep my wife abreast of my convo's with Delia) through the divorce to make it as easy as possible for us to go through something as emotional as a divorce. She was even able to prepare some extra paperwork besides the divorce for me also which was appreciated. She explained the divorce process and what to expect every step of the way. This is one time my gut didn't lead me wrong and I'm really happy that I was able to work with her. She is definitely a cool chick and I would absolutely recommend her If you do find yourself in a position where you may be contemplating a divorce and have questions or actually going through the process. Thanks Again Delia!!!

Aaron and his staff were very friendly and easy to work with. Their online platform for estate planning was helpful in making decisions. Upon receiving my documents, they were well organized in a folder with instructions and digitally sent to me. I felt supported and that I had a clear understanding of my rights. Highly recommend.

I sent one of our clients to him randomly and he was honest with the guy. He recommended an option for him that he could use to take care of the small issue himself and not have to pay anyone. These days, this is huge to me when it seems like everyone is out for themselves. I would recommend David's services and will be sending him more of our clients in the future.

I was first introduced to Mr. Tafelski years ago as my court appointed attorney. For anyone who doesn't know, a court appointed arrangment is not profitable for the lawyer at all, his fee couldn't have even covered his fuel expenses. It was basically pro bono. Anyway, I was facing a felony possession conviction and did not even have the money to bail myself out. Paul took my case all the way. He brought me a suit to wear to court so I did not have to wear jail "clothes". Paul not only tracked down a witness for my defense, he drove 30 miles one way just to remind the witness of the court date and make sure he would show up. When we went to jury trial Paul was a straight up stud. This guy is money in the courtroom! It was awesome. It was like watching a movie. I couldn't believe it. The bottom line is, Paul won the case for me and I was found 'not guilty'! Haha,Then Paul told me to keep the suit. The absolute best part was the look on the prosecutors face when the verdict was read. It was certainly different than the menacing sneer that she continuously shot my way throughout the entire case. The look on the face of the police officer who testified against me wasn't bad either.
My life has since turned around dramtically for the better and I have hired Paul for everything from my divorce to restoring my license. Someone at Paul's firm is reachable at all times and I have never felt better represented. I have never once felt rushed and people I know are amazed at how much time Paul always spends during consultations.
I will never need any other attorney for as long as Paul practices law and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help.
If your looking to hire an attorney who actually cares and shines in a court of law, Paul Tafelski is your man!

My case was quite unique in a sense that it was over a decade old. I had a previous lawyer and also represented myself to the Secretary of State without any good results, year after year. Long story short, Paul was able to clear me from the mess I had created in my underage days as I had moved from the state of Michigan and reside now in California. He was very professional and knowledgable with the little information he had on me long distance and handled my case very well. All in all he got me out of my bind and cleared my record. I recommend him for any OWI or DUI case you have.

I was referred to Anjali by a close acquaintance, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She is a consummate professional—kind, gracious, and humble. During a stressful and scary time, her calm demeanor and expertise provided a tremendous sense of comfort. She is not only an excellent lawyer but also someone who genuinely cares about her clients. Her competence and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Anjali for many years. Whether she helped me personally in any situation, from needing legal advice to legal representation and action, or whether I recommended any potential clients or friends to her, the feedback and experience has always been nothing but the best. I highly recommend her services, especially when it comes to criminal justice as this is forte.
I wish her good luck and success always.

David went the extra mile to make sure I was defended in my lawsuit. He was realistic about setting up my expectations for the outcome & walked me through the entire legal process. He did research on previous lawsuits of this type & fact checked all my documents to ensure I was fully ready for the deposition. David was compassionate towards my situation & worked hard to understand my side of the story. He was able to get a better outcome for me than I had anticipated which I am fully satisfied with.
I have used David's services in the past & he is always consistent about his process, the fees associated & the expected outcome.
I would recommend his services to my closest friends & family members.

If you want an attorney that tells you untruth, he's your guy. He tells you all along that you won't be speaking in court, 5 minutes befores you walk into court, he informs you that you will need to speak in court, he's your guy. If you want an attorney that won't return your calls, he's your guy. If you want an attorney that tells you he will handle something but he doesn't, he's your guy. Mr. Stabling never explained the consequences fully of a plea deal. Terrible attorney, so very disappointing.

Several years ago Federal agents came to our Michigan clinic, seizing medical and billing records. I immediately consulted Mr. Burdick and retained his services. Through a long investigation I have relied on Burdick Law for strong representation and advice. I have found Burdick Law to be RESPONSIVE to my questions, often answering within the hour. I recommend Burdick Law to all health professionals.

Hired Counselor Burdick regarding a complaint. Though his knowledge and expertise was able to navigate the dismissal of the complaint. If you find yourself in similar circumstances would definitely recommend hiring the most experienced lawyer defend your position. Mr. Burdick knows many of the players and they know he is a straight shooter. Jim was able to explain the process and make things clear. He is definitely worth the expense. This is a time to have the attorney with the most knowledge and experience standing by your side.

I had the fortunate experience of having Albert Holtz to advise and represent me in my unfortunate life experience...a divorce from my husband of 31 years. I went to Attorney Holtz (Al) with no knowledge of how to proceed or what to expect in filing for divorce. His professionalism, expertise, courtesy and care gave me peace of mind. He was up-front, open and honest. He kept me abreast as to what to expect every step of the way. He watched out for me in every aspect of the divorce process. Al gave me confidence and courage in the face of adversity. Albert, I can't say thank you enough. ...
"IF WORDS COULD EXPRESS"
If words could express my gratitude
they would have a heart so full that it palpitates
on the verge of a quiet combustion
with beams of red, yellow, orange and blue;
The words would be warm to the touch;
They would feel cozy and soft;
They would speak with a quiet and sincere voice;
If words could express...
If words could express my appreciation
They would have trotting feet racing to meet you;
They would have a face that shines like the sun
and a head held down in respect;
They would have a heart so full that it palpitates
on the verge of a quiet combustion
with beams of red, yellow, orange and blue;
The words would be warm to the touch;
They would feel cozy and soft;
They would speak with a quiet and sincere voice and say,
"Thank you. Your caring way means so much to me."

I would highly recommend Al Holtz to anyone who is looking for an attorney. While searching for a divorce lawyer, I interviewed three attorneys (both men and women) and am very glad that I selected Al. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and cares about his client as well. Al takes the time to get to know his client and listens to what is important to them. He is patient, hard working, efficient and keeps his client well informed on the progress of their case. As my divorce progressed, I felt that I could completely trust Al to take care of my interests and to manage my case. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my divorce. I would highly recommend Al Holtz.

Many years ago I went through an extremely difficult time in life; I interviewed and even worked with several attorneys because of my complex situation. Once I hired Mark, everything shifted to my favor. I was not "off the hook" and still faced consequences. However, Mark worked in my best interest in a fully professional and compassionate capacity. In court, he was amazing; reminded me of a football coach. He worked hand in hand with the prosecution and the judge to get me the professional care I needed, instead of punishment. My issue was now 10 years ago. To this day, my family and I are forever appreciative to Mark for his solid understanding of the law and his truly hard work to get the best results.

My cheating ex was attempting to file a bogus PPO against me for revenge, as well as initiating a criminal investigation against me for 2 felonies which each carried up to a 5 year sentence and a $2000 fine.
Mark was instrumental in getting the PPO, which was already scheduled for a hearing, dropped and dismissed by the plaintiff. He was also able to work with the investigating police detective in getting the felony investigations dropped by the plaintiff as well.
If you want to win, I would highly recommend Mark for any criminal matter.

Mark represented me on some very serious charges, in a very difficult case. I had been a "model citizen" for my entire life, and now in my 40's I was wrongfully accused and overcharged by the prosecutor. Mark provided an aggressive defense, as well as an honest real life look into the realities of my situation. He worked well in reaching an "acceptable" outcome on the case.
I had worked with a number of different attorney's in my professional life on business issues. Mark came highly recommended. Even though my case was a bit "outside" of Mark's backyard of Oakland County, he had prior positive experience with my judge which I think helped the situation.
Mark's background as a Assistant prosecutor handling capital crimes was a resource. I believe that he is well respected by his colleagues, both attorneys and judges.

Attorneys Marc and Ryan Fishman are WONDERFUL! From the start, Marc was very patient and explained every step to me in layman terms. He always returned my calls or answered my emails within 24 hrs. When it was time to "fight", he protected me and fought a good, clean BUT strong fight. His level of legal experience was noticeable to all involved. I've never had to use a lawyer before and I thank God that my first time was with the Fishman Group. Marc dispelled the negative pre thoughts I may have had. Hopefully I will never have the need for a lawyer again, but if I do, I'm immediately calling the Fishman Group. I can best describe this law firm with three words...INTEGRITY, HONESTY and COMMITTED. I pray that God will bless them and every client they touch. If you or someone you know needs a lawyer, I 100% recommend these exceptional lawyers!

I contacted Marshall on a Monday for advice on what to expect with an OWI I received that previous weekend. I was of course frantic and beyond stressed. He first asked me for some detail and helped me understand how it all worked. He really took the time to help me calm down and understand everything during the consultation. It was after that first call that I decided to hire him to represent me. He was by my side through the entire process. I had never been in trouble before and I was so worried as to what was going to happen. Marshall really made me feel comfortable in a situation that is anything but. He always returned my calls quickly with answers to my questions and never left me sitting in the unknown. Not to mention the case he built for me was incredible. I will be turning to Marshall for any legal questions and referring him to anyone I know seeking a lawyer.

This is a law firm that puts people first. Their accolades are well deserved and I'm happy to have witnessed the growth of Howard and his esteemed associates.
I'm looking forward to working with them in the near future. That's typically not the vibe when choosing attorneys, lol, but I see some big things on the horizon. Positive things. I know of one other firm on the west side of the state that I can speak this highly of.
Congrats to Howard, Joe and the other champions for the people of Hertz Schram

Never able to get ahold of her constantly brushed off by her paralegals. After several months of trying to contact her I was finally able to get ahold of her. Had to re explain a very complicated situation front to back for the third time on the money clock of course. Spent damn near my entire $15k retainer yet didn’t even no the break down of my custody rights or what I was paying to friend of court after sending her every doc requested multiple times. Finally after 7 months and her yet again asking me to start from scratch with her I requested a refund. What a joke that was she put in little to no work on my case what so ever didn’t even remember who I was or what my case was and tried to charge me the full amount. After threatening to file a civil case witch she so disrespectfully laughed at me about and wished me luck she decided to compromise and only charge me $5k for the absolutely nothing she had done in those 7 months! Ms long you are a joke you should be ashamed of yourself taking advantage of people in times like these and cases like mine. I will do my absolutely best to spread the word and see to it no one gets scammed the way myself and family have been.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
