Jonathan was very professional, knowledgeable, and I could tell he truly cared about the outcome of the case, most importantly he helped me view this as an opportunity to grow and become a better person. After making a poor choice, it can seem like there is nothing you can do, you feel stuck. However by following his proactive step by step guide, I was able to learn from the experience, feel confident going into the court date, and it helped with the outcome as they were impressed with all that I had been doing since the incident. I’d highly recommend Jonathan.

I reached out to Mr. Paul 5 years after he worked with me to clarify some logistical questions about my case because I am now applying to professional school. It took him less than 10 minutes to reach out and completely resolve my questions. I’m just as impressed with his quick effort and service as I was 5 year ago. Thank you!

I was eligible to submit an application to have an OWI expunged from my record. Jonathan was an absolutely incredibly and crucial help in getting me through this process.
His knowledge of what forms to complete, additional actions to take to help show I was deserving of expungement, and his great communication skills (I don't think I ever waited more than an hour to get a reply on an email) all made the process so much easier to work through.
I would absolutely recommend Johnathan to anybody who is seeking help with an issue similar to mine.

I am so lucky to have found Mr. Paul. The first week between my OWI incident and arraignment was a highly stressful period trying to figure out what was coming and how best to prepare for it. As soon as I contacted Jonathan I felt relief - even though he was in the middle of other work he was still able to quickly respond to my emails and assure me that he was on the case for me.
The first and biggest thing Jonathan did for me was help me adopt the growth mindset he outlines on his website. This helped me quickly move through my initial resistance to the consequences I was facing and take an active role in resetting the narrative of my incident as a step along a greater journey of learning/growing rather than merely being guilty of a crime.
He asks a lot: sign up for a professional alcohol assessment, begin community service, attend AA 2/week, and the like. But taking these steps proactively, committing to the work, and taking the humbling learning opportunity seriously turned in to the evidence Mr. Paul used to make my case.
He was always prompt and actively representing me in all court-related appearances, assisting me in making my initial plea and requesting permission for me to proceed with two out-of-state travel plans I had made prior to my incident. After a month of my following his guidelines, he successfully negotiated with the Prosecution to drop one of the two charges I was facing and greatly reduce the remaining charge. He had me assemble a document outlining all the progress I had made per his guidance and presented this to the court as well as the Probation office.
The Probation office was greatly impressed with the progress I had made and recommended the court sentence me fines and no probation or jail time. During the sentencing Mr. Paul once again represented me actively and positively and the Prosecution agreed with the Probation office recommendation, acknowledging that I had already done more steps than they would have typically required.
I cannot recommend this man highly enough. What he ultimately delivered is better than I could have hoped for. But even more importantly was the immediate sense of ownership and control I was awarded by having his steps outlined to follow. Put your trust in this guy- it pays off.

Jonathan helped me out with an open intox misdemeanor that I received at a tailgate in Ann Arbor. As a college student with no legal record, I was terrified of what was going to happen to my future, but Jonathan was incredibly reassuring and helped me, step by step, through the entire process. In the end, my case was closed and reduced to a civil infraction with a fine (basically a parking ticket). He ensured that this was a learning experience in which I felt supported and reassured. Thank you, Jonathan!

Mr. Paul was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t recommend him more. He helped guide me and told me what I needed to be doing in order to be in good standings with the court. He was very quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Was always understanding and kind. I don’t know where I would have been without him and was super happy I found him.

I was facing two felony charges related to retail fraud and Mr. Paul was able to get me probation, reducing those two felonies to one misdemeanor. Mr. Paul is an unbelievable lawyer and is very reliable. if you ever feel any doubt, concern or simply have a question he’s always very quick at getting back to you. I would highly recommend him. He won’t let you down!

Jonathan Paul set me on the right path to get the best possible outcome for the most severe DUI charges. By working closely with him, the severe charges of high BAC and open intox charges were reduced to OWVI and I was able to keep my driver's license and not serve any probation. His advice and guidance has also set my life in a better direction overall and changed the trajectory I was on. I highly recommend Mr. Paul!!

When I contacted Jonathan Paul out of a Google search in June of 2022, he was direct, empathetic and provided a plan that not only considered my legal issues but also my life choices that put me in that situation. Following Jonathan's advice to the letter I was able to resolve my legal problems with minimal financial impact, but more importantly, make changes in my life to avoid those situations in the future. Over one year later, I have no doubt I made the correct decision to hire Jonathan Paul. I would consider Jonathan a life coach in addition to being an attorney.

Jonathan had an informational website and was very responsive once I contacted him, keeping in contact regularly. I appreciated how up front he was and the work he put into my case prior to my court date. I also appreciate commitment to mental health as well as resolving the court issue. I would recommend hiring Jonathan.
