I want to thank you for all the work you did on my behalf. The outcome on my offense wasn't anything short of amazing .Unfortunately I've had a few lawyers over the years because of multiple OUIL's and you were by far the best presentation I've could have hoped for .Every time I had a question or concern you answered my calls and walked me thru it .When the judge sentenced me to 5 days in jail after having multiple offenses I was shocked. Anyone who retains your services will be getting a great lawyer who will work hard on your case and get the possible outcome. Thanks again Joe Simon. Sincerely Ray K.

In the latter part of 2024, I unexpectedly faced significant criminal legal challenges that left me feeling overwhelmed and anxious. I searched extensively online and spent days reading reviews to find a criminal defense attorney that I could trust with my life. Eventually, I found a criminal defenseattorney. His name was George MacAvoy Brown. I could not have been more impressed; his client reviews were spectacular touting George with nothing less than a 5 Star Client Rating and an Avvo rating of 10.0. His Lawyer Endorsements described George as “unmatched dedication, diligent, professional, dependable, an asset, passionate, and with intense determination.” After speaking with George, I knew I had made the right decision. George stepped in and expertly navigated the intricate legal landscape on my behalf, fighting enthusiastically to secure the justice I desperately needed. Throughout this daunting process, he maintained clear and consistent communication, providing me with updates that offered tremendous reassurance and comfort during a turbulent time. His dedication and expertise were evident at every turn. His professionalism and tenacity in the courtroom are simply unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend George MacAvoy Brown to anyone seeking a passionate advocate who can guide them through the complexities of the justice system.

After the endless cycle of incompetent lawyers, I contacted Mr. Brown. He looked me right in the eyes and assured me that he would not let me down. George is the consummate professional. He is ethical, engaging, tenacious, fair, and determined. He is not afraid of corrupt judges or overzealous prosecutors. George doesn’t promise grandiosity or sell you ice dream dreams. He will fight your case like Manny Pacquiao, always on the assault because the best defense is a good offense. And he has a track record of getting results for his clients.
Do your future, family, and finances a favor and don’t hesitate to hire George Brown. He saved my life.

I recently worked with Spencer on a legal matter involving a DNR ticketing case. As someone who holds professional licenses in multiple states, this could have had serious consequences and financial implications for my licensing. Spencer was able to help spare me from the potential of having to jumpthrough hoops for all of my licenses, not to mention the stress associated with that.
From our first conversation, he was prompt, professional, well-spoken, and incredibly kind. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel at ease during a very stressful time. His expertise and dedication were evident throughout, and I truly believe his hard work made all the difference in the outcome.
I cannot recommend Spencer Bondy highly enough. If you’re in need of legal representation, his knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome are unmatched.

"Justice was served Today"
This was the first text that Spencer sent me after he helped win a Jury Trial against my ex-wife in a wrongful allegation, DV charge in Livingston County.
I chose Spencer because he came highly recommended from a friend, whom he had also helped in a previous matter. He had plenty of positive reviews (which are all true), and he's young, hungry, ambitious and has a track record of winning.
Spencer was amazing to work with from the beginning. He was incredibly responsive, always taking the time to explain every step of the process and answer my countless questions. Spencer communicated through email, text and calls, and responded almost immediately, ensuring that I never felt alone or in the dark throughout the entire ordeal. His expertise and confidence were evident in every interaction, which gave me a great deal of reassurance during a very stressful time.
One of the things that impressed me most about Spencer was his thorough preparation. He meticulously reviewed all the details of my case, leaving no stone unturned. His attention to detail and ability to build a strong defense were crucial in winning the Jury trial. Spencer's courtroom presence was also commendable; he presented my case with clarity, professionalism, and an undeniable conviction that clearly resonated with the jury.
Beyond his professional skills, Spencer demonstrated genuine compassion and understanding of the emotional toll such a case can take. He provided not just legal support, but also moral support, which made a significant difference in navigating this difficult period.
Spencer is like the real-life "Lincoln Lawyer" of Michigan. He combines legal prowess with a relentless drive to achieve justice, making him an exceptional attorney who delivers top-notch service and results.
I wholeheartedly recommend Spencer to anyone in need of a dedicated and highly skilled attorney. His hard work and dedication were instrumental in achieving a just outcome in my case. Thank you, Spencer, for your outstanding work and for helping me move forward with my life.

Mine was a unique case and tremendously happy with the results. I was charged with OWVI by Milford Police Dept. in the 52-1 District Court. The police report had several deviations and after watching all all video from officers body cameras in discovery, Spencer Bondy, wrote and submitted 12-pages in a deviation letter to the prosecutor. Respectfully citing each and every one of the deviations made. Spencer communicated each step of the process to me and kept me in the loop at every turn and conversation with the prosecutor. Spencer didn't miss a beat, extremely organized, knows the law like no other, and answered to Judge Reed when he went on record stating this is a significant reduction and only warranted in extremely limited cases (obviously mine was one of these cases). As mentioned, I am tremendously happy with the result being a dismissal of the OWVI charge and a plea of responsible for the careless driving infraction instead. Spencer genuinely cares about his clients and as a defensive lawyer he is top notch!

Jessica Lashiers knowledge, professionalism, and care is bar none. If you're looking for a lawyer that always has your best interest's at heart without bleeding you dry, than look no further!

I am pleased to be able to share my very positive experience with Ms. Lasier and the Lashier Law firm. Ms. Lashier represented me through my divorce process. I have a personal friend who highly recommended Ms. Lashier without hesitation. Now that I am through (and during) the process, I completely understand why. From the first interaction with Ms. Lashier and her staff to the last, it was a positive experience. In a time of great turmoil in my life, Ms. Lashier was a professional, calming representative. From her confident and well prepared interaction with the judge to her reassuring and realistic consults with me, Ms. Lashier was truly a well executing professional. I was told by friends and family that "it's all about who has the better lawyer"... I definitely had the better... the best lawyer! Ms. Lashier scoured all of the legal documentation ensuring attention to detail and made certain nothing crucial was left out. At the same time, she was very efficient and attentive, not wasting any of my time or money on unnecessary discussions or administrative issues. Her staff provided regular updates about her fees and charges, which were more than fair! Ms. Lashier responded quickly to questions and always provided very practical advice. In a time of unsettled, uncertainty in my life, Ms. Lashier was a rock! I wholeheartedly, enthusiastically and highly recommend Ms. Lashier in the event that you need legal representation!

If you want an honest lawyer, you found the one! I can't tell you how many lawyers I spoke with, that just tried to scare me about charges.
Jessica absolutely did not try to scare me. She did not try to empty my pockets. She did not put an inch of doubt in my head! She is competent and kind. Another huge thing is; she does not bring up " reputation " for her. I believe a true lawyer cares more about rights VS their image. I would highly recommend her and will be sending anyone who needs a lawyer here.

Loren was hired by my family after I was arrested for a rather embarrassing incident. Loren and his team got me out of jail within hours. They treated me respectfully and with dignity, which made the whole process a bit more tolerable. Through long negotiations and some really brilliant strategic moves, they got my case resolved with a plea to a misdemeanor that saved me from a very humiliating fate. I’m very happy with Loren’s work and couldn’t have asked for a more excellent lawyer.

Loren and the entire team are SUPERSTARS. Just call them. You will NOT regret it.
You get what you pay for folks. Remember that. Every question I had and email I sent was answered the same day if not within 24h. They are relentless, extremely knowledgeable, professional, epithetic, and most important of all: successful.
I could not be more pleased with their services, communication, and results.
They are absolute lions and they will fight for you. I'd give them 6 stars if I could.

Representation at Hills At Law is phenomenal. I’ve had the privilege to work with three of the firm’s attorneys for legal advice as well as representation in court. Mr. Mike Hills most recently represented me with abundant compassion, respect, professionalism, and knowledge. Mr. Hills communicated everything I needed before, during, and after my hearing. He showed genuine interest in my case as well as who I am as a person, and made me feel very well supported from the first call to the last (priceless!). I cannot express enough gratitude to Mr. Hills and to the firm’s excellent staff. They are darn good people and work hard for their clients.

My Life Includes some horrible decisions, like drunk driving, but one choice I’ll never regret was hiring Jonathan Jones to guide me through the Legal System! Facing a 3rd DUI, I was a wreck, scared of everything I was up against, until I met Jonathan. Not only did he provide some calm , I actually really liked the guy!! One doesn’t get into this position without being a full blown alcoholic, he knew it , got me on the road to sobriety right away, and encouraged me to use this situation as a bridge to the rest of my life. He’s totally experienced, knows his way around the courts and provides no nonsense answers to the countless questions I had. While in court appearances, I would compare him to other lawyers and was proud he was mine! His staff is a reflection of him, caring, helpful, especially Carolyn, who walked me through a Zoom court appearance, again putting my mind at ease! If your roaming around the internet for a criminal attorney, you know you your up against it!!! I’m still paying the price for breaking the law, as it should be, but Jonathan provided me the best outcome, and most importantly a great opportunity hold my head high the rest of my life. If any of my family or friends were in trouble, I would insist the meet Jonathan Jones! Jonathan, I’m forever grateful!!

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.

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.

I have two children, 5 and 7. I was only granted weekend visits during my divorce and over the last three years since the divorce was final things kept getting worse. I tried to file motions on my own and was told I would have a court date in two weeks. Wrong! I kept getting blown off. I searched online for a lawyer and was very unsure if I could afford one or if my Lawyer would let me down like my divorce lawyer. I decided to set up a consultation with Shelly and gave a brief description to her assistant Ruth over the phone. When I went in to her office I was nervous, a single dad going for full custody...not very often does that turn out good. Shelly and her whole staff, Ruth, Brian and Chelley made me feel extremely comfortable and explained EVERYTHING to me in great detail. I decided to hire Shelly. We had a very short time to get things ready before going in front of the referee for a parenting time violation and status conference. She did a very good job prepping for in in just a few weeks. I ended up with temporary custody and we had to prep for mediation. Mediation was not a option as we found out. So now the preparation for trial. I was very skeptical about everything at this point. Shelly and her staff did a great job explaining what was happening and telling me how I could save my self money by getting medical records or anything relevant to trial. I was still having doubts about the whole trial. With their kind words and explaining absolutely everything I was put at ease. After about six months of court dates, trial prep and then the big trial it is finely over. She helped me win custody of my five year old son and seven year old daughter. These two kids are the reason I wake up every day and Shelley and her team could see that and fought until we won! I would recommend and will recommend her to anyone that is going through a divorce or custody battle. They are simply AMAZING! Thank you Shelley and your team!!

I probably had accumulated over 10 speeding tickets in the course of one year and Sherman saved me from losing my license. He also got almost every ticket reduced to 0 points. Great attorney! His assistant Danielle kept me informed about everything and was a great help as well!

If I could give 10 stars I would. I am so grateful for Ashley. From the moment she picked up the phone I knew I made the right choice when dealing with some real estate issues. Ashley made me feel comfortable, she listened, and gave me ALL information I needed in a way I could understand it. She was so kind, helpful, and I don't think I would trust anyone else. 10/10 recommend Attisha Law.

Would highly recommended to anyone dealing with any family or custody issues. I didn’t get the exact outcome I would’ve wished for, but that was to no fault on Brandon Gardner or his office at all. He was professional, logical, and yet still compassionate throughout the whole process. He was realistic and able to bring me back to earth to make logical decisions when emotions were high, which was NEEDED when dealing with the situation I had. I will definitely return, if ever needed. He’s not the kind of lawyer you just get and settle for. He’s one that’s WORTH it, and gets it DONE! Gives some pretty great advice as well! He will definitely fight for you, and isn’t here to mess around, or just take your money. Which is pretty amazing and highly respectable.

The judical misconduct preformed by Brandon Gardner towards me in court was very embarrasing. I dont know of any attorney that will stand infront of a judge and discredit his client because of their civil rights being violated to the extent Brandon states that he was ashamed of me as his client for filing a civil rights law suit against the state and county due to the very case he wants out of representing. I never met Brandon and didnt hire Brandon I hired Karla Tankut who was with his law firm unfortantly Karla resigned from the firm and Brandon took over my case. I was quoted at $5,000 dollar retainer and she didnt think that would even be all used i was on a payment plan until Brandon took over and stated he couldnt accept payments on a fraud case my case isnt even fraud. Brandon then stated he was withdrawing if i couldnt pay $24,000 to go to trial. Brandon never met me, he never spoke to me about my case. Brandon lied under oath by saying he didnt know i filed a lawsuit when karla stated she spoke with Brandon and showed him the violations of my civil rights with Michigan State Police Internal affairs ruling Msp violated policy for my arrest. Karla told me I needed to file with someone else because their firm doesnt handle unlawful arrest like their website states it does , and they dont handle civil suits , but Brandon told the judge he was appauled and very sorry his client took action against the courts over my rights being violated during my case. Nobody deserves to be treated like this. This firm will take your deposite and find reason to drop you. I paid $1000 dollars used only $230 dollars and Brandon says i now owe hin over two grand? Im unsure but id surely hope Brandon realizes his actions could potentially be considered a violation of his duty and misconduct.

Very rude and unprofessional. Doesn't like to hear what you have to say. Glad I learned this about the guy before I hired him. Just from my conversation with him I wouldn't do business with this disrespectful guy.

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.
What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?
A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:
-
For Victims:
- Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
- Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
- Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
- Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
-
For the Accused:
- Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
- Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
- Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
- Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.
How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?
Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
- Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.
It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.

The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:
- Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
- Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer
Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -
Will I need to appear in court?
Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
For the Accused:
- Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
- Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
- Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
