"So grateful for the support, services, and information provided by Maggie and Jack. Great outcomes on each. Would recommend to anyone and everyone in need of a great lawyer."

Nick G.

"Maggie and Derrick are the best and deserve more than 5 stars if possible. They took the time to break down every little detail of the process of going to court and negotiating. Maggie was amazing at working with me and making sure I completely understand every little part. They were even able to negotiate and cut my Probation and fees basically in half. THANK YOU!"

"The best lawyers hands down. Maggie George was my lawyer, and she is nothing short of amazing, she saved my career. I was arrested and issues an OWI 2nd offense 1 year ago. At that time I thought the stop was bogus, I was pulled over by Wayne state police and a trainee, who claimed that I had went straight through a left turn lane instead of turning late, near Cass tech high school..."

Thanks to Derrick, Maggie and Megan they were able to get me an outcome that didn’t involve jail and I was still able to drive with restrictions for a period of time..."
