Benjamin is definitely one of the best. I’ve hired him a few times and he never disappoints. Great Attorney for a good price.

I am a colleague of Mr. Gower. If you want an attorney that believes in justice and that will fight for you, I would highly recommend this law office. When looking for an attorney, you want someone that knows the law in and out, someone who understands how the system works, and someone who will do their best to help you with your legal needs. Look no further. A tip from a fellow attorney to people who read reviews. Do you want discount heart surgery? Or a discount tattoo? I would imagine most people would say no. Trust me when I say, you don't want a discount attorney either. You want to pick based on ability, aptitude, and strength as your lawyer. Quality of the work also matters. I believe that Mr. Gower embodies all of the traits I have described above. Highly recommended.

There's no doubt why Gower Law has the biggest name in Bay City. When on one of the busiest days in the city. The day everyone waits for he had an emergency appointment with me. He listened to everything I had to say. With no hesitation he connected me with one of his respectable attorneys Guy Cotter. Guy sat listened. With no hesitation was willing to help with my case. It's been stressful, hard, and finally the stress has been freed. The feeling that someone is listening. I'm finally being heard. Don't disappoint yourself, if you made it to this review it's prolly because your looking for the best attorney. Gowers Law

Hands down the best law firm I hav ever worked with .... They were super helpful and made my situation comfortable I will definitely will use this law firm again in the future I highly recommend them Thanks again Gower Law for all your help

Paul and his staff are very good at their craft. I was facing two separate issues, both of which had I not had the help I received would have would up with some serious jail time among other life altering problems that would have arisen from said circumstances. In a professional manner, Paul and his staff were able to orchestrate together two very favorable outcomes, one of which was a dismissal without prejudice. I would recommend Jarboe and Pfeil for any and all your legal matters, and I would rest assured that you're in knowledgeable hands when working with the trusted staff. Family, civil, criminal or business law issues will be handled with confidence and professionalism.

Paul Jarboe is is by far the best attorney I have ever retained. Paul and his legal assistant Katie worked very hard for me and were always informative and truly cared. I received a result on my case that I didnt believe was possible. Words cant accurately describe how grateful I am to them. I highly recommend Paul and his team.

Paul Jarboe did an excellent job on my divorce. He was very professional, yet caring. I was very comfortable with him. He gave very good advice and handled everything in what I think was the best way possible. Him and his staff are very efficient, kind, professional. I would definitely refer anyone to them. He also didn’t try to break the bank. Thank you to Paul and Katie for everything you have done and continue to do.

Very happy with the help and support from Lauren Pfeil! She is professional, kind and informative. Highly recommend.

Paul and his staff are great! They handled an expungment case for me even though i live in another state. I was always keept up to date on the progress of my case. Even thru the middle of Covid 19, things were able to move right along. I was even luckey enough to make my court appereance via Zoom. Saved me a ton of money on travel! Would not hesitate to use Paul Jarboe in the future. You wont be dissapointed.

If I could give Gerald F. Chefalo and his team a ten star rating I would. He is good at what he does. THANK YOU Gerry!

When I approached Mr. Chefalo, I was in a very vulnerable position. Through several meetings, and discussions, we were able to put me into what I would consider to be an ideal situation, given the circumstances. Gerald was always willing to talk, whether it be clarification about court forms I received, or just reviewing the facts of my case to make sure that we were on the same page. Thank you for your great service!

I can't give Mr. Chefalo enough stars. When I called him I was down by 3 in the 9th inning with 2 outs. He stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam. I highly recommend his services to anybody in need.

Gerald Chefalo is so nice. I was feeling like i had no hope keeping my property during my divorce. He made me realize how innocent i really was and i recommend him. He knows what he's saying and makes you feel like a welcome client.

Poor performance on divorce. Would not recommend

I am very lucky to have Mr. Jocuns representing me. He told me what was going to happen every step of the way and clarified everything that was new and confusing to me.

My family had a legal issue that required an attorney. Attorney Matthew Norwood did a great job at providing legal counseling and was able to have the legal charges reduced and the outcome were above expectations – well done Mr. Norwood. PS. His back office was also always very courteous. Whenever we had questions, she did a wonderful job answering our questions, and if she did not know the answers, her or Mr. Norwood were very timely in responding. I highly recommend Mr. Norwood’s office for your legal needs. Chuck

Attorney Matthew Norwood and I go way back, almost 15 years or so, as he was the first attorney that took my case as a challenge and I felt he took it personal. Attorney Norwood over the years has always thought outside the box when it came to getting a felony off my record. I feel confident he will represent anyone to the best of his ability. With recent law changes in Michigan, Attorney Norwood was my first call and he remembered my case and the details after several years, and was finally able to relieve me of my felony after 22 years. Great work Attorney Norwood, I will forever be grateful!!!

I've actually known that for a few years we going to church together I've never actually had to have a represent me for anything but as far as character goes it's impeccable I would highly recommend him.

Fully restored my license even through a pandemic. I would highly recommend Attorney Matt Norwood, very professional and will represent you the best.

Attorney Norwood is an exceptional lawyer. His knowledge and professionalism are beyond compare. He is easy to talk to and has a great ability to help you understand your situation. He has definitely gone above and beyond when it comes to myself and has been able help with matters beyond expected. He does what he says and shows genuine concern. would definitely recommend .

It is no exaggeration whatsoever when I say that Mike Manley and his associates saved my life. I made a grave mistake which cost me pretty much everything: my job; my reputation; my income; my home and my marriage. Not to mention the long arm of the law. To say that things seemed hopeless would be a gross understatement. Yet, at the time of my first encounter with Mike Manley he already gave me a sense of reassurance. Throughout the subsequent nine months he and his colleagues had crafted a settlement to my case that I never even imagined was possible. Those nine months were a difficult time of waiting and uncertainty, made worse by numerous delays due to the courts closing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, I received regular updates from Christy, legal assistant at the firm and an absolute gem of a person, who kept me informed and never failed to provide kind words and encouragement every time we spoke. Mike and his colleagues are not only professionals (and damn good) at what they do, but they also genuinely care about their clients. There is a stigma out there, some predisposition among members of the public with regard to attorneys in general. Well, I can confidently say that none of those "things" apply to this firm. I was treated as a person, as someone they believed in. That is something one cannot put a price tag on. Thanks to Mike and his team I have a new lease on life; the opportunity to pick up the pieces and rebuild what I had lost. These folks are my heroes and I am forever grateful.

I can’t say enough regarding Mike and Julie. They treat me so well despite me getting myself into continuous battles. They make me feel as they truly care about me. Also Susan in Ann Arbor who Mike sent me to. She was also top notch. Thanks.

Needed Mr Manly after I did the one thing your not supposed to do before you get an attorney (he made that go away) As a new mom at the time and more terrified then I’ve ever been in my entire life Me Manley and his AMAZING staff made me so comfortable and at ease. I recommend Mr Manley to EVERYONE I KNOW that needs an amazing attorney. Thank you again..

I am grateful for my freedom and well being every day. After a recent encounter with LEO over a victimless crime, we contacted and retained the services of Mr.Manley and it was one of the best moves we could have made. I found Mr.Manley to be honest, forthright, and pleasant to be around. I really do believe he is a great choice for those knowing they need a lawyer who knows the system and "all" the players just as we understood the significance. One thing I noticed about Mr.Manley and his team is how professional, courteous, and decent they are. It helped me feel at ease and my case was resolved in the very best manner possible because we all knew it would be. If you want to win, Michael Manley is a winner and should be your choice!

Its okay good service

Shaun Marks is the man you want to represent you. Very helpful put my mind at ease knowing he was there to help me. Very professional .

I had found Attorney Shaun Marks after my son had received a traffic ticket, while he was 16, jeopardizing his driving privileges. Shaun had done exactly what he had originally promised, and my son is able to continue driving to work and school. Extremely satisfied and thankful! Thanks Shaun!!!!

I highly recommend Mr. Shaun Marks for a DUI attorney. He called me immediately (on a Saturday) after I sent him an email regarding our situation. He was upfront about everything and nothing was a surprise to us. He answered all of our questions and always returned my calls when needed. Thank you!

I cannot believe how great this attorney was! Very responsive handled everything with accuracy. Even better he had my domestic case dismissed! He doesn’t ask for a retainer he told me what he was gonna charge for the case which if you ever paid a retainer there’s always a chance you’re gonna have to owe more in a case

Shaun Marks is a professional! He walked me through the process and responded promptly to my questions and concerns. I highly recommend Shaun Marks!

He doesn’t ask for a retainer he told me what he was gonna charge for the case which if you ever paid a retainer there’s always a chance you’re gonna have to owe more in a case

Richard is a nice young man who is very friendly, patient and professional. I used him for my mom’s estate planning and recently my wife and I used him for our own Estate planning. Very reasonable in price and we felt he was very thorough. We left his office feeling confident our Estate is now in legal order. Thanks Richard. Regards, Andrew and Christine Barnes.

I had a couple legal questions that I needed answered and Richard was very attentive and answered all my questions. He was very helpful and polite. If I needed a lawyer I would definitely hire him! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

I called Mr. Schaff to answer some highly important legal questions I had. He was very knowledgeable, understanding helpful to say highly professional and gave a lot of insight to the way the legal system works. Mr.Schaff, thank you for your time and help. I highly recommend him.

Richard explained the legal process to me as it went, and got the charges reduced drastically. His price was more than fair, and he made himself available when I needed him. I don't have a single bad word to say about the man. I will definitely call him in the future if I have any more issues.

Brought my mother in to do her estate plan. Richaed was great with my mom who is 82, answered all her questions, patient, and compassionate. And the end product addressed all the potential issues I was concerned about, very thorough. As my mom left, she commented, "I feel better now." Time well spent for sure.

Mine was a "slip & fall" case, which is often thrown out by the judge due to lack of evidence. I had a significant injury which required emergency surgery and weeks of therapy to return function; my hand, however, remains deformed in appearance. An attorney I consulted in my town wasn't interested in taking it on. but he referred me to Mark Freedman, whom he knew to often be successful with these type of cases. I won't ever know if there were other attorneys out there that might have taken my case; not many, I'm sure. But, what I do know for certain is that I got the best. Mr. Freedman is a fine gentleman. He related to me with a warm, kind personality . Most compassionate and understanding. Most conscientious and honest. Most assuring and affirming. Clear communication about the process and what to expect. Stayed in regular contact throughout the pandemic, even when there was little to report. Easy to reach, quick to respond. Great representation and negotiating skills. Mr. Freedman's knowledge of the law and years of experience got me a cash settlement, which was the point of the whole effort. I highly recommend his services!

Mark and his firm were so helping during my whole process! They were professional and showed so much kindness and support. They were always very quick to respond to emails and phone calls and made sure to get very detailed information about my incident! I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs their type of services!

Mark Freedman recently handled a very difficult case for one of my employees. It involved very complex issues and critical action items that had to be taken on by the employee without any level of failure. Mark guided the process in the most professional and experienced manner that I personally have have ever witnessed. He was honest, straightforward and never wavered on providing exactly what the outcome would be as long as you followed his process. I strongly recommend Mark Freedman as a five star attorney who knows the system, has experience with all levels/members of the court and can layout expectations in a clear and concise manner. I will be recommending Mark to any and all business or personal contacts that need support. Grateful on the outcome! Mike B

What can I say about Mark After receiving four tickets, I decided it might be a good idea to get representation. Mark was on top of things from start to finish. He took what could have been a possible six months in jail, to a fine, and fifteen hours of community service. For someone that's so busy all the time, I really felt his focus was on me every step of the way. We did a virtual high five when it was over. Way to go Mark!

I was driving across M59 back in May. I was driving a bit too fast & unfortunately got caught up in a multi unit motorcycle speed trap being conducted by the MSP. Subsequently I received a speeding ticket for going 16 MPH over the speed limit. I’ve had a clean driving record for close to 10 years, so I obviously did not want any points or have my insurance go up. That being the case, I contacted Mark Freedman immediately after I received the ticket. Mark returned my call right away, he explained in great detail what could happen and the next steps in the process. While he didn’t guarantee me anything, he felt confident that a much more positive outcome could be reached by utilizing his services. Almost 2 months later, he contacted me saying that his negotiations with the prosecutor were successful. Not only did he get the 3 point moving violation that I was ticked for reduced, he got it totally dismissed. So zero points for me, my clean driving record remains intact and my insurance won’t go up! In the past, I have tried to fight several speeding tickets and was unsuccessful each and every time. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time trying to fight it alone. Call someone who knows exactly what to do and understands the local courts. That being said, I am 1000% satisfied with Mark Freedman’s work and will definitely recommend him to any of my friends who find themselves in a similar situation as I was in.
