I highly recommend Karl Numinen as a trial defense attorney. I found him through online reviews just like this and it was the best decision I could have made. I was falsely accused and charged with multiple misdemeanor charges from an overzealous DNR officer who had his own personal agenda. Over the period of a year and a half leading to trial Karl and his staff provided me the highest level of communication, professionalism and, most importantly, support. At trial, Karl was highly prepared and ready to fight for my innocence, I was not disappointed. After a grueling 10+ hour trial, the jury deliberated for only 15-20 minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty on all charges. My family and I will be forever grateful to Karl for everything he did for us during what could have been a life altering moment in our lives. Karl is the best trial attorney in the Upper Peninsula period!!!!!!!
Karl is incredibly knowledgeable, vigilant, and overall the most professionally focused lawyer I've ever come across. Divorce with custody is high pressure and emotional. With Karl and his team by my side I knew I would walk in with the right amount of confidence. Karl didn't just take me on as a client, he changed our lives. If you are looking for a lawyer to get things done, don't hesitate to hire Karl.
Having Karl Numinen as my attorney has not only been meaningful, but choosing him was the best decision I could have ever made. The entire direction I felt my life going in was redirected by Karl’s intelligence and years of experience in protecting his clients. His fierceness and strength shined through during my case, and gave me such a sense of pride, that I myself would never want to be on the opposing side,sitting across from him. To say my life is no longer filled with worry day in and day out because of Karl would be an understatement. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the best attorney anyone could ask for.
Karl is an amazing lawyer who goes beyond his duty to make sure he represents whoever he is at the time to the best of his ability. He works hard to make sure he knows everything about the case he is working and always looking for more information. This man represented me in a felony case and worked hard to make sure he got the verdict I needed. My entire life was at risk and he made sure he done everything he could to help me. I'm so happy I met this man and had him on my side thank you so much for your professionalism.
I hired Karl to defend me in a OWI case and couldn’t be happier with the outcome! When the prosecutor wouldn’t see reason, Karl advised me to take it to trial where he professionally and swiftly proved to the jury my innocence! NOT GUILTY!! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch defense attorney!!
Karl took care of everything! He thoroughly investigated my case, kept in contact with me the whole time, and re-assured me that I would be okay. I didn't do the crime, and Karl backed me 100%! We were going to trial to fight! I was extremely nervous and scared. Karl once again assured me that I would be okay. He dug further into my case, and found a problem with a piece of evidence the state had against me. After going to the prosecutor several times, Karl Numinen got my case dismissed the day before I was set to go to trial! I never even saw the inside of a court room. Now I was originally going to plead guilty and take the probation and fine. I have a criminal record, been to prison, and I just didn't think anyone would believe me. It didn't feel right to plead guilty to something I really didn't do, and I called Karl Numinen just to see what he thought. He took care of it from there, and now it is behind me!
Let me begin by saying that Karl Numinen is a miracle worker. He’s brilliant, efficient, handsome, and by far the best lawyer ever! The good looking part may not seem relevant but it goes without saying that having a charming individual speaking on your behalf is an aspect that should not be overlooked! He sat with me during times of doubt and explained the process in the best terms possible. He never once promised me the outcome would be in my favor but his confidence in dealing with cases like mine suggested otherwise. He won’t tip toe around the reality of your predicament or fill you up with false hope just to get your money. He doesn’t need to. His history speaks for itself and the respect he has in this community and amongst the members of the Marquette County Judiciary give him the backing he needs to give you the best possible outcome. He truly made the impossible possible for me today with news of a full dismissal of my case. I can’t thank him or his staff enough for all of their hard work. If you’re considering hiring Karl to represent you in court than you should consider it no longer. Hiring him is the best decision you can make.
Our son was away at college, 1,600 miles from home when he was falsely accused on criminal charges. Karl took on his case without hesitation. Our lives were literally turned upside down for over a year before going to Trial. Karl and his professional staff went above and beyond what I ever expected. They were prompt with their response time and consistently kept us informed of everything that was going on during the entire process. His Legal Assistants were lovely people to work with. They were so caring and genuinely concerned about our family. We truly trusted Karl to represent our son during this horrific ordeal. We could not have been more pleased with the way that Karl conducted himself throughout the Trial. It was evident that he was completely prepared to go head-to-head with the Prosecutor and the Police. Karl's cross-examinations were powerful and on point. I cannot imagine how our son's life would have turned out if we did not have this remarkable Attorney fighting for us.
Karl represented me in a federal felony case last year. His firm was very prompt in returning phone calls and answering any questions I had. Karl made himself readily available to me whenever I needed him. He will get you the best deal possible! Bottom line. I highly recommend him! Better Call Karl!
Mr. Numinen represented our son in a 3rd degree criminal sexual assault charge. What was so impressive about Mr. Numinen’s defense of our son was that he was incredibly prepared for the prosecution’s witnesses taking their testimonies apart one-by-one and finding all the holes and discrepancies He encouraged our son to be an advocate in his own defense and later said that he was representing our son as if he were his own. We worked with him for over a year and when the case went to trial, the jury returned a not guilty verdict by unanimous vote and my son never took to the stand. We would absolutely recommend Karl Numinen to anyone in need an excellent criminal defense attorney.
