Mr. Barnwell is a highly articulate man who is able to depict your circumstance to the court in a manner that accurately represents your case. He will ensure that each client is able to receive a result most desirable to their individual needs and provides his clients with the utmost in legal care.I would highly recommend Mr. Barnwell for a consult before ever choosing a lawyer.

Overall had a good experience with Attorney Barnwell and would recommend him for your needs.

William was an amazing person to have had the pleasure of interacting with. After unfortunately putting myself in a situation of receiving a high BAC DUI charge I came across Mr. Barnwell and called immediately. He took the time while in the middle of traveling to talk me through and calm me down ofall my worries and put me on the right path starting day 1 of taking the right steps moving forward to help my case. William was able to get my case dropped down from a high BAC DUI charge to operating while visibly impaired. At my sentencing Mr. Barnwell requested two changes to my sentencing and the judge agreed to them without hesitation. I hope to never be in a situation again of having to hire a defense attorney, but if I were to I would not hesitate to get connected with Mr. Barnwell again. Top tier attorney.

did everything as expected went above and beyond with this case. walked me through everything that would be going on step by step and answered every question i had with the case

Very good attorney. Spends time looking at the whole picture, not just the charge. I had a case which was near impossible to get reduced and Bill Barnwell made it happen by using all the information from not only the case but how I hold myself in the community. He also knows all of the extra steps aclient should take in order to present themself to the court in the brightest light possible. Will recommend to anyone in need of his level of expertise

Mr. Barnwell helped me on two separate cases, which both could've had far worse consequences, but he knows what he's doing and works hard for his clients. Couldn't be happier.

Did an excellent job of explaining everything to me and helped us through everything.

Bill was an excellent attorney. Great communication skills, quick response times, knowledgeable on the laws surrounding my case. The plea deal Bill was able to get me saved me thousands of dollars in probation fees and greatly reduced my fines. I would not hesitate to hire Bill in the future.

The decision to hire William Barnwell was the best decision I made after my mistake. Mr. Barnwell was always accessible and reassuring throughout the entire process. Mr. Barnwell was transparent and honest about our goals specific to my case. Mr. Barnwell not only achieved our goals for my case but exceeded them. My first OWI charge reduced to OWVI plea deal and no probation. I received no license suspension and only a license restriction for 3 months. Mr. Barnwell was very professional and I felt that he was personally invested in achieving the best outcome possible for me. The support of Mr. Barnwell resulted in an outcome that has given me the best possible opportunity to redeem myself personally and professionally as quickly as possible.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend Bill Barnwell of Barnwell Law, PLLC highly enough! On a moment’s notice, he stepped in and provided critical, professional, and timely legal assistance when an employee of mine was wrongfully detained by the Detroit Department of Corrections. Despite the usual delays and procrastination by the Wayne County legal system, Bill’s swift intervention ensured that my employee was released in less than 72 hours—a feat I am confident would not have been possible without his expertise and immediate action. What sets Bill apart is not just his deep knowledge of the legal system, but his ability to act proactively, and with complete professionalism from the moment he got involved. When you’re dealing with a situation involving the Department of Corrections, you want someone with clout, experience, and a proven ability to cut through the red tape. Bill Barnwell is exactly that kind of lawyer. He ensured that my employee’s rights were protected and that they didn’t spend a second longer in custody than absolutely necessary. Just to be clear—there was zero evidence supporting my employee’s detention. Yet, without Bill stepping in when he did, I have no doubt that the system would have dragged its feet, causing unnecessary delays and hardship. His involvement made all the difference, and for that, both my employee and I are incredibly grateful. If you’re ever in need of a criminal defense attorney in Michigan—especially in Wayne County—Bill Barnwell is the one you want on speed dial. I know I’ll be keeping him on mine. If you have any questions about my experience, feel free to reach out to me directly. Thank you again, Bill, for your outstanding service and for being exactly the kind of advocate people need in their corner during difficult times.

William Barnwell gets it done! He provided invaluable guidance from start to finish. Impeccable service!
