All charges dropped and all fines and costs waived! Bill is very professional, very kind and was capable of more than I'd ever hoped or expected!

William Barnwell is by far the most caring, hard working, and impressive attorney I’ve ever seen. I called him based off his online reviews and was shocked at the difference between him and others.. I knew he was my guy. He fights the hard fight and is upfront and honest with you and isn’t just looking for a check but wants the best outcome for all his clients! He’s always available via text and will call you and update you appropriately. I can never thank him enough for the help he provided me in my DUI case and highly recommend him! Trust me, call this man and hear what he has to say before picking any other attorney!

Bill was extremely professional, courteous and empathetic to my situation. He advised me in a way that made me feel confident I had picked the right attorney. I’d highly recommend him to anyone.

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.
