Hello, I had a legal issue. I am not from Michigan, and I have no friends or family here. I was in an impossible situation in which he helped solve. My legal case was complicated and, for me, a life or, horrible life situation. Due to his talent, intelligence, legal knowledge, and court/BAR/Judiciary relationships and expertise, I received the best, seemingly impossible, outcome. Mr. Barnwell is fantastic and I would heartily recommend his services to any client. I am truly blessed that, knowing no one, Bill Barnwell came to rescue. I'm not one to speak idly, or "post" opinions. If you need legal representation and you need a most excellent attorney, William Barnwell is your man. Best regards, Ed Peterson

I am an attorney and former prosecutor. Now that I am in private practice handling mostly civil matters, I am frequently asked to make recommendations for criminal defense cases. In fact, I got a call last week from a close associate who needed a referral for a family member who had just been charged with a crime. My first recommendation is always Barnwell Law. Why? He is extremely knowledgeable, he is prompt to return calls to clients, and most importantly he GETS RESULTS. I had a client that violated probation and wanted me to assist with the probation violation. I assured him he was going to jail as it was his second “screw up.” I told him to hire Barnwell for the probation violation as this problem required his unique persuasion skills and it also required a stern message to the client. The result? No jail from one of the judges in the area that is not known to be lenient. This is one example. Barnwell is not afraid to take on powerful interests if they stand in the way of his clients’ rights and their liberty.

Mr. Barnwell really helped me out and got me out of quite a difficult situation. In my case I was looking at some not so good outcomes. I had violated probation and was looking at some jail time. Not only did we get to preserve heida, but I won’t be facing any jailtime and I’ll have the opportunity to get the help I need. This was by no means an easy experience for me. Mr. Barnwell really did a great job defending me on my behalf. He always answers when I call, and has always been not only professional but a listening ear through this all. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Mr. Barnwell.

For those whom I've referred to Bill, they have proclaimed nothing but the highest praise! His accessibility, knowledge and determination are all assets that benefit those who seek his services and wise counsel.

Bill is a top-notch criminal defense lawyer who truly cares about his clients. I have have known Bill for around 10 years. Over that time he has earned a reputation as a tough lawyer who zealously represents each of his clients with absolute professionalism while achieving great results in the courtroom.

If you’ve found yourself needing criminal defense, I highly recommend Bill. He’s extremely knowledgeable and very informative. He made the processes very easy and never cast judgement. Even though we were ready to take a plea, Bill sought a better outcome. With his strategy, he was able to get the case dismissed and the charges dropped. Again, I highly recommend Bill Barnwell.

Very happy with the service I received and Ellen Schreuder was very understanding to the needs of my husband.

The Attorneys and staff are great people and trustworthy.

Simply the best. Bill is the best attorney I have ever hired to work for me. I have hired many attorneys over the years, and Bill Barnwell is truly the best attorney out of all of them. I have had some really bad experiences with other attorneys, so I have a lot of perspective here. Bill is skilled, professional, experienced, and resourceful. He was always respectful to me. He always responded to emails, phone calls and text messages in a timely manner; in fact, faster and more consistently than any of the other 10 or so attorneys I have hired over the years. He never made any promises he could not keep. He always kept me informed. And he delivered. If you have a legal issue that needs attention, Bill Barnwell is your person. Bill will take your case seriously, treat it as a priority, and get you the best outcome he possibly can. Hire Bill Barnwell first.

Very good attorneys

Bill is an amazing Attorney! He is very passionate about what he does and works hard for his clients. He worked on my husband’s case and was always understanding, professional and highly knowledgeable about the entire process from beginning to end. He also worked with me (wife, and I can be overbearing sometimes), eased all my concerns and was very respectful. He even answered all our family members questions and explained all the processes to them at a court hearing. He continuously kept us informed on any new developments throughout the case and was always available to chat any time of day. You cannot find this in every attorney. Whenever we had questions, via email or text, he always responded immediately or got back us within a few hours! He is great at what he does and any person would be lucky to have him by their side! I would definitely work with him again and refer him to others.

Very good service, polite prices. Highly appreciated and highly recommended for anyone who’s in need.
