My father and I contacted Jerry based upon a referral from another attorney who did not practice criminal law. After several phone conversations with Jerry, we decided to hire Jerry and the West Michigan Defense Team to assist with my pending Reckless Driving charge. Mind you, I had not hired an attorney initially and when I did my own pretrial with an attorney, the City Attorney handling the case told me that they would make any reductions to the charge. Jerry told us that he would do his best to get the charge amended or dismissed and we trusted his judgment when hiring him. Jerry visited with the City Attorney several times and told us that the City Attorney was reluctant and did not want to reduce or amend the charge and wanted me to be convicted of Reckless Driving. Well, Jerry kept on trying and on the last day possible he was able to get the City Attorney to change her mind and reduce the charge. I thank Jerry for his willingness to continue to try to get a deal for me. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost my license. In the end, I was able to walk away with a Careless Driving saving a lot of money. I would highly recommend Jerry to anyone facing a criminal type charge. He was honest, direct and helpful throughout the whole process. Thanks Jerry!!!!!

I would highly recommend Jerry Lykins in the area of criminal defense. Jerry had represented my father and so I was well aware of his skill and work ethic. I had been charged with a Domestic Assault, but had left the State of Michigan the evening of the incident. I never returned and only learned of it when I spoke to my ex-boyfriend and he told me there was an arrest warrant for Domestic Assault. Well, I called Jerry and he immediately went into action. Jerry called me back and told me that he would go directly to the Judge assigned to see about lifting the warrant. Apparently, this worked and the warrant was pulled. Jerry then went and got the police report and started work on resolving the case. Jerry was successful and the Domestic charge was dismissed completely on July 22, 2013. Wow, I am so happy and this all happened without me having come back to Michigan and spend a fortune on travel. Thanks Jerry and the West Michigan Defense Team, you are a life saver!

Jerry was excellent in handling my situation. His professionalism, knowledge, and rapport with local judges was invaluable. I was very impressed, and believe that having Jerry on my side was extremely helpful in my case.

This was my first time within working through the legal system, and I highly recommend Jerry. He made sure that I understood what was going on at all times, and cared about me as a person. Jerry goes out of his way to make sure that you are feeling supported. I am very happy with the results of my case, and the outcome it had, majorly due to Jerry!

Jerry Lykins represented my 20 year daughter in a very tumultuous time in her young adult life with first offense OUI arrest along with drug possession. We were in desperate for legal advice and direction and Jerry came with high regards from a friend and colleague of mine. I knew we were in a good counsel when Jerry was calling me back on the following Sunday night and worked immediately to address our concerns and case file! He took control of the situation and gave us much needed comfort and immediate guidance. Jerry brought a very personalized and warm caring approach to our daughter, not only to her legal representation but more importantly, to counseling her on her future after sentencing as to growing into a healthier adult life. He encouraged her into successful drug and alcohol treatment program and has been instrumental into her becoming healthy again and looking forward to returning again to college after completion of her probation. Through his credibility and reputation in the local legal system, Jerry was instrumental in to having our daughter's drug possession charges dismissed along with reducing her OUI offense to OWI (impaired) conviction which was remarkable in our eyes (especially given her .15 BAC at the time of her arrest). We are truly blessed and fortunate to have received the legal counsel representation of attorney Jerry Lykins and will ever be grateful to him!

My husband and I retained Jerry Lykins to represent our son. Upon the initial consultation, we were immediately impressed with Jerry’s knowledge, honesty and his caring demeanor. Jerry was up front with us on the hurdles our son was up against. Jerry was empathetic and encouraged our son not to allow this mistake to define the rest of his life. Jerry took our calls at all hours of the day and worked very diligently on our case. We fully trusted that Jerry had our son’s best interest in mind. When all was said and done, Jerry was able to get our son a much reduced sentence. We are grateful beyond words and sincerely thank Jerry for coaching us through an incredibly stressful time. We highly recommend Jerry to anyone that may need a defense attorney.

I hired Jerry Lykins for an OWI-1 offense occurring in December 2019. I was very pleased with Jerry’s work. Under the circumstances, it could have easily resulted in a more severe sentence. Here’s what I especially liked about working with Jerry: Jerry charged a flat fee that was reasonable. He puts much emphasis on, and encourages, good communication. For attorneys who charge by the hour, a client is always hesitant to ask any questions about their case. Even the simplest of questions taking only a few minutes to answer are often billed at 15 minutes. I communicated frequently with Jerry via text messages, email and phone calls. Jerry goes back a long way with area judges, city attorneys and prosecutors. He’s well-respected in the legal community. Undoubtedly these personal relationships are helpful in getting the best outcome for his clients. Jerry knows if, and when, one should plead to a lesser offense. This is based not only on his knowledge of the law, which is extensive, but also knowing court personnel especially well and how they work. I was able to contact Jerry whether it was in the evening or on weekends. He promptly responded to all text messages, emails and phone calls. This obviously was a very trying time emotionally. Jerry was a good confidant and, while not diminishing the seriousness of the charge, helped put it in the proper “total-life” perspective. Jerry is personable, easy to talk to, empathetic and did an excellent job of managing expectations. I highly recommend Jerry Lykins.

I cannot begin to explain the gratitude I have for Mr. Jerry Lykins. Having minimal experience with attorney's I was confused and nervous placing my child's future in a stranger's hands...low and behold my son's case fell into Mr. Lykins lap. Not only did he thoroughly guide me through what was happening with the court case, he was compassionate and understanding. What he did was not only honorable, he took the fear out of the whole process. The willingness he had to go above and beyond for my son was not only admirable but commendable. He kept close contact with my son. He actually shows up! He used his vast experience and human compassion to ensure my son was treated fairly which led to a much better outcome that we could have ever anticipated. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Lykins and would highly recommend his services.

I highly recommend Jerry as your attorney I've been helped by him three times already and it was all positive outcomes.Jerry has done spectacular job in my case which in involved a felony and a misdemeanor,if it wasnt for him I would be behind bars right now for a long time.Im glad he was the one to defend me in my case.I even got into more trouble and Jerry helped me get out of it. He listens an gives great advice so listen to what he tells you because he is a honest and wise man.He is with you the whole way until the end ,he really follows through with his work.

Jerry was thorough and helpful through my legal process and litigation for a High BAC OWI. I first consulted with Jerry after I was initially charged for the crime. I was able to check into a 30 day inpatient treatment center. While I was there, Jerry handled all of my legal obligations with the court. When I was discharged from the treatment center, Jerry was helpful and proactive to assist me in my ongoing sobriety and recovery efforts. With the legal aspect, Jerry was fantastic in consulting with me and being able to keep me out of jail. Jerry not only did a great job in the legal aspect but was a great support in my recovery. I would recommend Jerry to anyone needing legal help with a drinking-related offense.
