Jeff Kortes put some extra work in convincing the assistant DA to get my case dismissed. A few months ago I was charged with felony child abuse in a matter involving my son. I didn’t like the prospect of going to trial, and pleading to a reduced charge would have some bad consequences. I understand that most cases are settled during the 1st court appearance however we had to do some extra work to get a dismissal. Jeff always replied to my emails the same or next day and I liked that he usually answers his phone, unlike most lawyers. He also asked the judge to modify bond conditions and allow me travel out of state. Overall Jeff is a very professional, understanding and experienced attorney.

Jeff and his team did a great job managing my case. This was the worst thing to ever happen to me, but he and his staff helped me navigate this troublesome time. They kept me in the loop on what was happening with my case in the court and answered the many questions that I had for them. Mr. Kortes was sensitive to my work schedule and often gave his time for consultation after normal work hours. Communication between him and his office was always prompt. Most of all, he is extremely knowledgeable with these types of cases. After the incident, he asked specific and pointed questions to help improve the outcome. I felt very comfortable leaving my fate in his expert hands; it is obvious he has defended many clients in similar circumstances.

I hired Mr. Kortes in August 2015 to represent my son, a college student, for a probation violation for 2 misdemeanors from 2014. My son organizationally challenged, absent minded and struggles with attention (all diagnosed), and missed a recent probation appointment. As this was not his first, he was facing jail time for the remainder of his probation. Knowing that my son was truly trying to get his life in order, we wanted representation for a probation violation (PV) hearing, which I believe is not the norm. My son’s original lawyer was not available. Mr. Kortes, with the assistance of his partner, Jerry Lykins, stepped up to bat the day before the hearing. Mr. Kortes was able to successfully represent my son by highlighting the progress he has made in the last 6 months, his diagnosed condition and the support system in place to help him stay on right track. The hard work is now up to my son to comply with all aspects of his probation before another review next year. Mr. Kortes paved the way to an outcome that I am told was truly unprecedented.

I was referred to Jeff Kortes from another local attorney who did not practice family law but knew Jeff from his criminal law practice. I reached out to Jeff and his assistant Jaime with my legal issue. Both were professional, offered guidance along the way, and were quick to return my emails throughout the process. I was skeptical the courts would be sympathetic to my situation, but Jeff and Jaime assured our strategy was sound and that we had a strong chance of succeeding. We scheduled a hearing date, and Jeff was in fact successful in persuading the court as to all of our legal issues and what we were seeking relative to resolution. I would highly recommend Jeff and Jaime to anyone searching for a family law attorney.

Jeff was very knowledgeable about my case and certain details that helped me to get my case reduced. He always responded in a timely manner when I had questions. I would recommend him to friends and family if they ever needed attorney.

Mr. Kortes was awesome! He did everything he said he was going to do and kept us informed along the way. I have been recommending him and his firm to everyone I know. We will also use him again for any future needs.

Jeff Koetes is an awesome attorney! He is honest and affordable. He will fight til the end and then some for you. I would highly recommend him as your next attorney!

I am very happy with the services offered by Jeff & Jerry (West Michigan Defense Team). Jeff is a very experienced caring attorney. When I was devastated by my legal problems, Jeff was right there to assist me. He Obviously was concerned and took the time to help me understand more clearly exactly what I could expect. He is a dedicated, aggressive and very attentive attorney.

I met Jeff about a year ago during my separation. It was an especially tough time as during the process I was away from my two children. During our first meeting I instantly had the feeling I was in good hands! In a time that was so emotionally charged, Jeff was calm, knowledgeable, deliberate and instantly trustworthy. He knew the system, the law, and was so relaxed and competent in court I felt the weight of my worries disappear. I told Jeff once my divorce was final that through the process hearing from him was enough to get me through the day. He went out of his way to ensure I was informed, not riddled with worry and calm. Working with Jeff was very easy. I felt he was more of a friend than my attorney; and a friend he will remain!! Thank You Jeff! You truly made a difference in every regard.

Dear Jeff, I want to thank you and the law firm again for the attention you gave my case. I noticed the skip back in my step and i am dancing as i work. It has been too long since i felt not only content but a sense of happiness. Warm Regards, Monique B
