I am so glad we found Karl at one of the most difficult times in our lives. The stakes had never been higher as CPS entered our lives and dismantled everything. I was being wrongly accused by CPS and they were trying to take away my child. Karl's knowledge, performance and expertise helped us win ourcase and get our lives back. Hiring Karl was absolutely worth it!

Karl was fantastic, I got into some trouble at the border traveling into the states. My visa was at risk. I was being charged with two felonies. Karl took my case, we had hoped the best case scenario was to get them dropped to misdemeanors. But Karl was able to get the entire case dropped and dismissed. What a magician. Thank you so Much

We want to thank Karl for taking our son’s case which was a criminal matter in Dickinson County, Michigan. We retained Karl Numinen because of his outstanding reputation. This was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times in our life as we watched our son go through this process and how rudely people treated him in the Dickinson County area. Thank goodness for Karl and his staff for getting us through this and getting him a good result at sentencing. I am very grateful Karl. Good job. One more thing. To Abigail, Anne and Karl. Thank you for being so patient with me. I know I was a lot to deal with.

I can't thank Karl and his team enough for taking my case, treating it seriously and winning it in court. I was involved in a vehicle accident where, tragically, a person died and I was charged with his death. When we met Karl to discuss the charges, he told me that I hadn't done anything wrong and was surprised that the DA was pursuing a conviction. Karl never waiver'd from this stance. He and his team, collected data, records and crash scene photos and reports, then meticulously studied all of the evidence to put together a winning argument that proved very successful. Karl was extremely knowledgeable of the law and used that knowledge with a confident courtroom presence to dominate the trial proceedings. My family's exact words, "Karl is a BEAST!" They all agree that Karl Numinen was, without a doubt, the right attorney for my case, and he won it convincingly! Very Grateful, Jerry

I would like to take this opportunity to leave a review for Karl Numinen in hopes of helping others in a similar situation looking for guidance in the legal process as I was. I am a young professional who was pulled over and arrested for a DUI. The first major step was selecting an attorney, which is how I met Mr. Numinen after having him recommended by a close friend who had been impressed by his skill and professionalism during her divorce case. I had met with several others but took a risk in selecting him based on his confidence, competence, experience, and mostly the effort he put into getting to know me, the case, and what was important to me as far as the outcome. Personally, a DUI would have been devastating to my career, and unlike any of the other attorneys, Mr. Numinen took the time and effort to identify the best possible outcome for my individual situation and invested whatever time and resources necessary to do his best to achieve this (which he did). As the evidence of the case became available to us, Mr. Numinen was meticulous in finding the flaws in the arrest, charge, and details of the case by combing through every second of police footage and asking me detailed questions. Because of his diligence, the respect he has earned in the community, and his professional conduct and communication within the judicial system, he made it possible to get a plea deal from the prosecutor. I was told by members of the court that my outcome was only possible because of the fact that I had selected him as my attorney as most others would have settled for a plea deal much more severe than the one I received. Every case is different, but the outcome of my case exceeded my expectations. In addition to achieving the best possible final outcome, Mr. Numinen was nothing but professional with me, was able to ease my fears and give me realistic scenarios and expectations. On several occasions, he met with me over the phone or in person just to address my concerns or fears directly and factually, going above and beyond to prepare me for every step of the judicial process. If you ever find yourself in a similar scenario and want to be treated professionally, with compassion, and be defended by someone you can trust to take your case seriously to achieve the best possible outcome for your individual situation, rather than treating it like another job or another case, please take my advice and hire Mr. Numinen. My life would have had a completely different trajectory had I not hired him as my attorney.

I highly recommend Karl Numinen as a trial defense attorney. I found him through online reviews just like this and it was the best decision I could have made. I was falsely accused and charged with multiple misdemeanor charges from an overzealous DNR officer who had his own personal agenda. Over the period of a year and a half leading to trial Karl and his staff provided me the highest level of communication, professionalism and, most importantly, support. At trial, Karl was highly prepared and ready to fight for my innocence, I was not disappointed. After a grueling 10+ hour trial, the jury deliberated for only 15-20 minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty on all charges. My family and I will be forever grateful to Karl for everything he did for us during what could have been a life altering moment in our lives. Karl is the best trial attorney in the Upper Peninsula period!!!!!!!

Karl is incredibly knowledgeable, vigilant, and overall the most professionally focused lawyer I've ever come across. Divorce with custody is high pressure and emotional. With Karl and his team by my side I knew I would walk in with the right amount of confidence. Karl didn't just take me on as a client, he changed our lives. If you are looking for a lawyer to get things done, don't hesitate to hire Karl.

Having Karl Numinen as my attorney has not only been meaningful, but choosing him was the best decision I could have ever made. The entire direction I felt my life going in was redirected by Karl’s intelligence and years of experience in protecting his clients. His fierceness and strength shined through during my case, and gave me such a sense of pride, that I myself would never want to be on the opposing side,sitting across from him. To say my life is no longer filled with worry day in and day out because of Karl would be an understatement. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the best attorney anyone could ask for.

Karl is an amazing lawyer who goes beyond his duty to make sure he represents whoever he is at the time to the best of his ability. He works hard to make sure he knows everything about the case he is working and always looking for more information. This man represented me in a felony case and worked hard to make sure he got the verdict I needed. My entire life was at risk and he made sure he done everything he could to help me. I'm so happy I met this man and had him on my side thank you so much for your professionalism.

I hired Karl to defend me in a OWI case and couldn’t be happier with the outcome! When the prosecutor wouldn’t see reason, Karl advised me to take it to trial where he professionally and swiftly proved to the jury my innocence! NOT GUILTY!! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch defense attorney!!

Karl took care of everything! He thoroughly investigated my case, kept in contact with me the whole time, and re-assured me that I would be okay. I didn't do the crime, and Karl backed me 100%! We were going to trial to fight! I was extremely nervous and scared. Karl once again assured me that I would be okay. He dug further into my case, and found a problem with a piece of evidence the state had against me. After going to the prosecutor several times, Karl Numinen got my case dismissed the day before I was set to go to trial! I never even saw the inside of a court room. Now I was originally going to plead guilty and take the probation and fine. I have a criminal record, been to prison, and I just didn't think anyone would believe me. It didn't feel right to plead guilty to something I really didn't do, and I called Karl Numinen just to see what he thought. He took care of it from there, and now it is behind me!
