In my experience this is probably one of the better law firms in the area. Mark as my attorney was courteous, prompt and extremely detailed while handling my traffic ticket. He explained things well and as a CDL holder he understood my situation and was able to get my ticket reduced. If I had to nitpick the cost seemed high BUT if I had to hire a lawyer again I would definitely go with Mark.

Never returns calls. Cancels and reschedules meetings left & right. Doesn't visit client like supposed to.. I'd consider him a very UNREALIABLE attorney.

The only company that I called in Western Michigan where a professional attorney (Jason) answered the phone and directly answered my concern. That’s after a couple days of calling around between 9 and 10 am.

Jason Jansma represented our son. Jason was very helpful at explaining the court process and kept us abreast of all important timelines. Jason is very reliable and trustworthy. He communicates well and is available when you need him. We were fortunate to have Jason mitigate the outcome and arrive at a resolution of lower severity. We recommend Jason Jansma and the West Michigan Defense Team.

So far they have been extremely proffesional and caring. 10/10 would recommend.

Would recommend seeking other attorneys. The only time they were really attentive is the initial consultation when they are getting ready to ask for money as a retainer. After that my defense attorney was a lay down and was easily pushed around by the opposing counsel. He seemed to be well known, but certainly did not have enough clout to get good results for me. I was 42 years old at the time with a clean record , a veteran, and had NEVER been in any trouble before. I was charged with Felony Assault. Not only did I end up with the felony, but from day he never got an inch from the other attorney and kept telling me how it was the best we could do. I believe many other attorneys could have had the charge reduced and I likely would have ended up with a misdemeanor. At one point I had to call and email my attorney no less than 6 times over a 2 week period with no response. I had to complain to another attorney at the firm to get a response. My attorney continued to tell me what he would do, but NEVER followed through without repeated requests or follow up on my part. Very non-responsive and maybe they just take too many clients at once. On top of that, he knew I was a veteran and didn't even tell me I could have been eligible to be tried or have my case go through the veterans courts. I likely would not have even had a felony. I made the mistake that got me in trouble, no doubt about that, but the other mistake I made was trusting this firm to represent me. Your money would be better spent elsewhere. Also, used the family division of this firm through a divorce. Had to fire them and hire a different firm which made the attention I was getting from Jason at WMDT look like a joke. I got farther and more answers from MI Family Law Center in a few days than this firm got me in 2 months. Thank goodness I switched! I plan to have my felony expunged when I can. I will not use this firm for that unless they offer to do it free for doing such a poor job TWICE.

I have used Jason Jansma twice and a court appointed attorney once. Any court appointed attorney could have done the same job that Jason did. He said about 2 sentences to the judges each time, forcing me to do almost all of the talking. I didn't like how I had to pay in full before my hearing date. Both sentences turned out worse than expected.

The office is conveniently close to the courthouse, with a great view of Grand Rapids. I am pleased so far with the attorney that I am working with, and would recommend them for criminal cases.

These people don’t just get your job done, but are also EVERY step of the way....In full disclosure everyone charges around the same, but they will give you the tools to not only get through your difficult time, but help you move past it. There is not a better option.... period.

I hired Jerry Lykins and the West Michigan Defense Team to help represent a family member who had received a drunk driving. Jerry was fantastic in communication and managing the case for my family. He kept us up to speed as to developments and calmed us during court process. In the end, Jerry was able to take the drunk driving charge down to careless driving saving my family member from having harsh court and license sanctions! Thanks Jerry!

Jason Jansma is representing me in a very contentious divorce. Jason and the other attorneys at the WMDT have been outstandingly helpful, responsive, and available. Their professionalism is second to none, and it's evident how respected they are in the courts, and among other lawyers.

I am an attorney in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who does not practice criminal or family law. When I have referred people to attorney Jason Jansma, they have been very pleased with his representation. I have known Jason for about 15 years, and he is honest, fair-minded, straight-forward, and experienced in the courts.

Jerry Lykins was recommended to me to deal with legal issues that I found myself in and I couldn't be any happier with the outcome. While I felt that the accusations against me were frivolous, in today's society you can't leave anything to chance. Jerry was clearly, highly respected by the opposition and law enforcement community that we were dealing with and his legal expertise and experience made it a walk in the park! Thanks Jerry, hope our path cross in other arenas but you will always be my guy if I need one.

Hardworking. Thank you.

Needing to find a lawyer in another state is never an easy thing to do. There is a fair amount of stress associated with trying to find someone you can completely trust. I can't begin to describe the relief we felt once we started to see Mark Hunting in action trying to get the best possible outcome for us. He never gave us unrealistic hopes, and he thoroughly and carefully explained our options. Most importantly, he was always there for us and answered every question, sometimes on weekends. He explained all aspects for clearing our reputation on the web, and was able to get everything expunged. He is absolutely the best in our opinion.

The Attorneys at West Michigan Defense Team are always knowledgable and very responsive to all of my legal needs. I have worked with both Attorney Lykins and Attorney Jansma, and have had great experiences.
