I strongly recommend Michael Reeds. I hired Mke Reeds in May 2019 when I was forced to deal with a criminal transgression. Not only is he knowledgeable with laws, he also presents himself in a very professional manner in the courtroom. He is very respected by his peers and maintains an impressive demeanor. When I first met with Mr. Reeds he immediately put my fears and concerns to rest. He was extremely empathetic and caring. He was always available for my questions and was very prompt in delivering and communications with the prosecution. He is detail oriented, professional, efficient, encouraging and truly helped me feel at ease during that trying time. I knew my transgression was serious, I shared my need to get help yet he believed in me. I talked to serval attorneys before finding Mike Reeds and was told that I was going to be charged as a habitual by every attorney, and was told that it was very unlikely of avoiding jail time. Mike Reeds was able to fight for me to only get mimanal probation. So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, and need an excellent attorney, I recommend Michael Reeds

I truly believe that no one could have represented me better than Mike at any price. Mike knows every detail and every angle of the law and was able to use that information to my advantage. My case ended up better than I had hoped and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Mike!

He's a extremely good lawyer. I've had him represent me on multiple occasions. Each time he gave me my options, fought for me when needed and presented my case very eloquently. I wouldn't trust anyone else in my time of need.

Mike was able to keep me out of jail for a probation violation and kept my probation terms the exact same. Went with different representation from the start, and If I could go back and do it over, I would have hired mike from the get go. He will be my go to lawyer for any issues from here on out. Would highly reccomend for anyone looking for criminal defense from my experience. Thanks again mike!

I recommend Mike Reeds to anyone, he is the best lawyer i have met. Mike and his law firm recently helped us with our will and power of attorney. The experience was great, i had no idea what to do to get this done. My wife and I were heading out of the country on vacation in a couple of days, when we realized that we had no one to handle our children and estate. We called the Reeds office, Mike and his team had everything we needed written up in a short time. We got our will completed before we left. We were very thankfull for the quickness and professionalism we experienced. A+ lawyer

Mr. Reeds and Danielle are both excellent Attorneys. I was not well versed in the legal system however they both were very patient and understanding. I never felt overlooked or underappreciated as a client or a person. My case was handled with the utmost professionalism and vigor. It is clear that Mr. Reeds is very well respected by the court system. I could not have asked for better representation for my case. if you are seeking representation, I would recommend Mr. Reeds and his associates every time. Worth every penny. Simply the best.

Michael Reeds took on my high felony case, while looking at up to 10 years in prison, with the utmost diligence and care. He was a tremendous help throughout the entire legal process. He was extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for my case. The drive that Michael showed to WIN my case was exceptional and if I had to go through the process again, I would not want anyone but Michael to be fighting for me and my rights. Michael gave me hope, in the darkest of times. I could never repay Michael for the support and dedication he showed to me and my family during this time. Hands down, the best lawyer in the State of Michigan.

I received a DUI, I'm a business owner, I was very worried on how this would look and effect my work. First Danielle and Amy in the office are absolutely caring and very comforting during a rough time. After meeting with Mr. Reeds who is my Lawyer for my case I was very comfortable with him and decided to with him. He got my DUI thrown out and got impaired with speeding ticket. He is very well respected in the court system from Judges and Prosecutors and from his peers from what I witnessed, that is a type of Lawyer you want with a DUI case. Look no further if you received a DUI go with Mr. Michael W. Reeds as your Lawyer he and his team are worth every penny!!!
