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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

William is an excellent attorney. He knows the law and strongly advocates for his clients best interests. He shows up prepared and ready to defend his clients. Thanks again William :D!

LOOK NO FURTHER!!! THIS IS THE GUY YOU WANT!!! If you’ve ever watched Suits you’ll understand when I say William Barnwell is basically a combination of all of the positive traits in Harvey Spector and Mike Ross. On the same day that a warrant was issued for my arrest, he worked expeditiously to arrange a walk-in arraignment for the following day. His diligence, proactive approach, and exceptional negotiation skills, resulted in my charge being dropped from a 5 year felony down to a 1 year misdemeanor. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome! I entered one of the most terrifying and depressing periods of my life as a result of some extremely poor decisions. That being said, the best choice I could have made was to entrust my life in the hands of William Barnwell. From my first phone call to his office, which he personally answered, until the conclusion of my case, my experience was nothing short of phenomenal. He is non-judgmental, an extremely attentive listener, and laid out each stage of my case in a straightforward, understandable manner, keeping me in the loop every step of the way. He was always accessible to answer my many questions and address my concerns, and he did so with great patience and grace. His prompt communication and sincerity made me feel more at ease and alleviated my stress during this highly emotional process. He handled my case with the utmost professionalism and care. This attorney is a top notch leader in his field but he will not nickel and dime you like many do. He was upfront & transparent about his fees and provided them at a flat rate, which was affordable, and most definitely well worth every penny! I am profoundly grateful for William Barnwell and his services. I recommend him in the utmost highest regard.

10/10 a great honest attorney, that understands the law thoroughly. More importantly he understands that we are human. I believe now that's its imperative to have an attorney that sees you as a person, and he did that for me. Hire him if that's what your needing in life right now. People make mistakes. Know that you are not what happened in that moment but a human being that WILL make mistakes. If those mistakes lead you here, than hire this man.

Whenever your in a bind, he's worth your time, that's a Cochran rhyme. No in all seriousness, I received a DWI in an area that is known for they're inhospitable treatment of certain types of people. They showed me virtually no mercy, in which case I needed someone that not only would put up a fight,but would care about my circumstance. Being someone with no criminal history it was important to me that my lawyer understood that good people can make bad decisions, and truly believe in that what they are doing helps people. He was not only a good lawyer but a good, and honest man. If he did not see a good outcome he would be honest with me in navigating these hardships. I now know that hiring a good attorney is imperative for you to put up a decent defense because of my attorney. I not only found a good attorney put another good person in this world that believes in helping others. 10/10

I hired Mr. Barnwell and he executed my cases very professionally and precisely. I was extremely happy with his service. I give him five stars and would recommend him to anyone in need of hired representation.

Great experience for a bad time in my life. William took care of business and made it easy for me. The outcome was favorable, I hope I never need counsel again but if I do I will definitely contact him.

As soon as I was in court waiting for bill I was nervous having mixed thoughts of what might happen but as soon as he walked in he immediately was extremely professional and was so interested in not only the case but also defending my case and myself as well. He was able to make a great deal with the prosecutor, it’s just a way of life for him, he’s a pure natural and I would highly HIGHLY recommend anyone to call Bill if you have any legal troubles he will 100% get the job done the best possible way he can do it. I would give him a 10/10 if I could

I have used Bill in the past, and I highly reccommend his services.
