"Even though this was a situation I should never have been put in, I am grateful that I had Attorney Kevin Bessant on my side"

Having never been in trouble for anything my entire life, I was dumb founded to find myself in the crazy situation I was in.Having been locked up in jail for defending myself against my attackers, and have little to no faith in our “justice system & police”, I was in need of a good attorney to protect me in this situation. Because I was accused as being the aggressor in the situation against two people, I was charged criminally and was treated by the police like a criminal when I was the victim. Even being the innocent party in this situation the foreseeable outcome was not looking good with the charges I faced. It really opened my eyes to when the system thinks you are a criminal. The police and prosecutors will pursue you as such and only believe the story of the alleged “victims”, even when the story being told is one of lies. At that point I knew my life was on the line. Thankfully I had one of the best attorneys on my side. Attorney Kevin Bessant was able to get me the best outcome for my situation. I did not get any jail time, and I was able to keep my job along with maintaining my reputation. Even though this was a situation I should never have been put in, I am grateful that I had Attorney Kevin Bessant on my side. So if you are ever in need of a great Criminal Defense Attorney, he’s the one to call. He really works for you, because this “justice system” is designed to lock you up if you choose the wrong attorney.

"I can not say enough about Attorney Kevin Bessant and I would recommend his services to anyone."

I hired Attorney Kevin Bessant after viewing his expungement video on Youtube. For years my criminal record was holding me back so I wanted a good attorney who would handle my case effectively. From the moment I contacted Mr. Bessant I knew he was trustworthy and truly cared about my situation. He took the time to listen to my situation over the phone, then he invited me to meet face to face at his downtown office to talk further. Mind you, he never once pressured me or simply told me “how much he charges” as most other attorney’s do. Attorney Kevin Bessant not only got my criminal record expunged, but he also referred me to my new employer who hired me after the first interview. I can not say enough about Attorney Kevin Bessant and I would recommend his services to anyone. THANKS!!!

"I’m very very happy. I can’t thank him enough!"

Mr. Bessant exceeded my expectations. He didn’t want to get my hopes up to high with the serious situation my son was in, but he was able to get the case dismissed, saved us alot of money. Very professional and very reasonable in his fees. Well worth every penny. If I ever need an attorney again I won’t hesitate to call him and also recommend his firm. I’m very very happy. I can’t thank him enough!

"After my initial conversation with Mr. Bessant, my mind was immediately put at ease"

I was terrified about the charges (alcohol) I was facing and after my initial conversation with Mr. Bessant my mind was immediately put at ease. Mr. Bessant met with the prosecutor and negotiated to have 1 of the charges dismissed and the remaiming 2 to misdemeanors that wouldn’t effect my record. Mr. Bessant is super smart, very professional and I highly recommend all to retain his legal services when facing criminal charges.

"Mr. Bessant is very qualified and experienced and capable to represent whoever is in need of an excellent lawyer you can trust."

Kevin Bessant is a very smart lawyer. From the first conversation, I knew he was the one. Hey did very well defending my son. He turned my son's capital felony into basically probation. My 18-year-old son was facing major time, but now he has a second chance at freedom because of Mr. Bessant. He was money well spent.

Mr. Bessant is very qualified and experienced and capable to represent whoever is in need of an excellent lawyer you can trust.

"Thanks for the knowledgeable advice."

I really appreciated your advice today. Your guidance has saved me a lot of grief.

"He is tenacious, knowledgeable and very well respected in the courtroom. I can’t say enough good things about him and thank you doesn’t seem like enough."

I was looking for an attorney to handle my son’s juvenile case. I was very apprehensive about a public defender. I called a couple Attorneys that came highly recommended but when I called, I spoke with their secretaries and never heard back from them or when I did speak to the Attorney, they made me feel like my case wasn’t worth their time or money. I found Attorney Kevin Bessant on the Internet and decided to give him a try. I couldn’t have been more pleased!

The first time I called him, I was so shocked that HE actually answered the phone and not a secretary. He was EAGER to help, he was very patient and took time to explain everything about what my son was up against, during the very first phone call. Mr. Bessant returned phone calls, emails, texts, you name it. He kept me informed about my son’s case and I was never left feeling despair.

He was prepared on the day of the hearing and I was NOT NERVOUS at all. Attorney Kevin Bessant has compassion for his work and his client and he treated my son’s case as if it was the only one he had. He is tenacious, knowledgeable and very well respected in the courtroom. I can’t say enough good things about him and thank you doesn’t seem like enough. Thank you so much Mr Bessant!

"I would recommend him to friends or family if a lawyer was needed."

I hired Kevin Bessant for my brother. I appreciated the free consultation he gave me even if I didn’t hire him. But I did hire him and glad I did. He was quick to respond and kept me inform of my brother’s situation. Very pleasant and not overly priced either. My brother’s charges were dismissed and he’s free and clear. I would recommend him to friends or family if a lawyer was needed.

"He will do whatever it takes to make sure all your questions are answered and makes sure you understand what exactly is going on, what your rights are and the the process that you have ahead of you!"

Mr. Bessant is very pleasant, knowledgeable and patient. He really takes the time out to listen to you and your situation, he treats you like a person and not just an client who is paying him. He will do whatever it takes to make sure all your questions are answered and makes sure you understand what exactly is going on, what your rights are and the the process that you have ahead of you! He will do whatever it takes to prove your innocence. He is very professional and is very detail oriented. He gives very knowledgeable advice and when you are done talking to him it’s like a breathe of fresh air and you feel more confident when it comes to fighting your case. I highly recommend Mr. Bessant.

Former Client

"He provided me with what to do step by step and the possible outcome."

I called him about a dismissed misdemeanor that was getting in the way of employment. He provided me with what to do step by step and the possible outcome. He explained everything to me thoroughly which took away all my stress about the situation.

Very responsive, he answered my call right away and responded to my missed call/voice mail. I would recommend him for sure! I’m a college student and I didn’t know what to do but he instructed me step by step! I will definitely keep him in mind in any case I needed a lawyer.

"The case was quite serious, however Mr. Bessant managed to have the case dismissed. I would highly recommend him and thank God I made the right choice in utilizing him in our criminal defense case."

Professional, knowledgeable, courteous attorney willing to fight for his clients…if these qualities interest you in an attorney, Attorney Bessant should be secured. We hired him from Ga for a case in Michigan and throughout the process he was thorough and kept us well informed as if we were in The Motor City. The case was quite serious, however Mr. Bessant managed to have the case dismissed. I would highly recommend him and thank God I made the right choice in utilizing him in our criminal defense case.

Former Client

"I recommend him very highly. Thank you Attorney Bessant."

Attorney Kevin Bessant is a wonderful Attorney, very professional but friendly. He is very knowledgeable but unassuming. He has a calm demeanor but very a hard negotiator. He is very well respected by prosecutors. He represented me in a Checkpoint Violation Charge and I can say without equivocation that I am glad to have had him represent me. I recommend him very highly. Thank you Attorney Bessant.

Former Client

"He was very informative and genuine in his answers."

I called upon Mr. Bessant to get some legal consultation because in my state of Virginia it appears that the attorneys are moreso concerned with charging a consultation fee and not even fulfilling the needs at hand. Nevertheless he was very informative and genuine in his answers and very informative by offering sites to look onto and etc.

The sad thing is if you plead guilty in Va you indeed arent able to get that expunged and whats really unfortunate is this affects so many people especially those people with first offenses that listen to their public defenders and or attorneys that dont indeed let individuals know what is at stake by pleading that way.

As of right now a charge that my cousin got is still haunting her 9 and a half years later. We just have been tested for OCS in the military seeing as we both graduated with honors from universities yet that one mistake has caused so many of her dreams to be deffered… Yet thanks so much Mr Bessant… We will get on getting her some strong references and also trying to go about getting a pardon or whatever it takes to help her succeed.. Be blessed

"I would like to say he is knowledgeable, professional, confident, responded to all my questions in a timely manner"

I was charged with DWLS (not my first) and he worked on getting my charges reduced and off my record. I would like to say he is knowledgeable, professional, confident, responded to all my questions in a timely manner (also offered resources), and he worked around my work schedule which was very helpful. He is overall a great lawyer who did a great job representing my case. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great outcome.

"My advice to anyone looking for an attorney: choose Attorney Bessant."

No one ever wants to obtain an attorney or go before a judge, but choosing attorney Bessant is the best choice. He is professional, punctual, friendly and goes above and beyond. Attorney Bessant explained everything in detail, what happens if everything goes according to plan as well as the possible bumps. A process that could have taken six months was 2 1/2. This is because everything he said he would do he did in a timely manner. My advice to anyone looking for an attorney: choose Attorney Bessant.

"The great thing about Kevin is that he was able to keep me calm throughout the entire process since I’ve never been in a position like this before."

I cannot say enough about how great of an experience I had working with Attorney Kevin Bessant. His attention to detail, professionalism and his willingness to fight for his Clients is second to none. I am an Oakland County resident and was cited for 2 misdemeanor traffic offenses in addition to a separate civil offense. Kevin and I met to review the details of the charges and he educated me on the best case and worst case scenarios early in the process. He assured me that we would work hard to get the best possible outcome and that’s exactly what happened as the 2 misdemeanors were removed and the Civil offense was the only charge that I plead guilty to. The great thing about Kevin is that he was able to keep me calm throughout the entire process since I’ve never been in a position like this before. He always responded promptly to phone calls, emails and texts and showed up in court extremely prepared and fought hard on my behalf. I would recommend Attorney Kevin Bessant to anyone that’s currently facing legal issues and I can assure you that your experience will be the same as mine since Kevin treats every client like they are his only client. THANK YOU Kevin and keep up the great work!

Patrick N.

"You truly went above and beyond."

I truly appreciate the great work you did for me Mr. Bessant you truly are a great attorney. I never had one worry since the first time we met and a month later my case was dismissed. I highly recommend you to anyone in need of a great lawyer with a reasonable price. You truly went above and beyond thank you again and god bless.

"If you have been accused of a traffic violation, I strongly recommend giving him a call before considering any other options."

Kevin is an awesome lawyer. He did a great job at alleviating the stress and anxiety associated with being charged with an infraction. He gives solid, realistic legal advice, and drives to resolve your matter to a favorable outcome. With his counsel we were able to rightfully achieve a dismissal and reduction of two traffic offenses. If you have been accused of a traffic violation I strongly recommend giving him a call before considering any other options. You will feel much better about your case and situation afterwards.

"You gave it your all and stayed on top with everything that they threw our way."

I thank you so much for all you have done and for putting up with my craziness. We consider you a part of the family, even though we are crazy. Lol! I know how stressful and pressured it is with everybody trying to ask you questions and phone ringing all night long. I truly appreciate you being patient with me. I respect you for taking on this case, especially with the toughest Judge. You gave it your all and stayed on top with everything that they threw our way. You fought to the end and the outcome would have took a wrong turn. So, i am grateful for the outcome. Yes, we were hoping for a dismissal but, I realized that it didn’t matter what we proved or not. They showed and shed light on what type of people we were up against. I kept my composure till I got close to home. I then broke down as I thought what had happened and to see a court room filled of one race. This isn’t sitting well with me. I almost started to throw up. I am going to create a organization against racism. I finally seen for myself what it feels like to be bullied and people of a certain color or race treated with racism. I am going to fight till the end. I hope people will wake up to why people end up getting killed or turning them into criminals.

"A reliable attorney who will follow through with his word."

"No other lawyer could have done this other than Kevin Bessant, he went above and beyond."

Best lawyer in Michigan! Kevin Bessant did wonders for my client. We had a court date for an OTE charge, if I chose any other lawyer my client would have probably been thrown in jail for 45 days and or had probation and community service. But by choosing Kevin Bessant the unthinkable happened, he removed the 12-month probation as well as community service as well as jail time. No other lawyer could have done this other than Kevin Bessant, He went above and beyond by talking to prosecutors and to the judge explaining my clients story and moved the judge to drop it to a disorderly conduct. We thank you Kevin and will be using your outstanding services for any further problems.

"Mr. Bessant got me all the results I needed."

Mr. Bessant did a perfect job. Two other attorneys had to drop my case because of the complexity. Mr. Bessant got me all the results I needed. The expungement was granted.

"Not only does Mr. Bessant know the law and the system, he breaks every move down in simple terms."

Absolutely the best experience I have ever had with an Atty. This man helped me get my life back! I was looking at 2 to 5 and ended up misd. probation. Not only does Mr. Bessant know the law and the system, he breaks every move down in simple terms. Kevin also replied to every phone call, text, email and question in less time than any attoney I’ve ever dealt with. I could go on and on but you get the idea.

"I hope I never have to hire an attorney again, but if I do, I will call Kevin Bessant."

I hired Kevin Bessant and I’m glad I did. Mr Bessant is the most organized and conscientious attorney I have ever seen (in real life, not counting on TV). When he appeared in court he was deliberate and well prepared, while other lawyers and even the judge were hesitant and scrambling for their paperwork. The best part: Mr. Bessant prepared me to be ready, too. He requested paperwork from me and reminded me when I was late. Everything he told me would happen happened. Everything he told me not to worry about never happened. When I worried something would go wrong, he was cool and confident. Clearly he understood the law and legal procedure and he was able to accomplish his tasks efficiently and very effectively. I hope I never have to hire an attorney again, but if I do, I will call Kevin Bessant.

"I will be certain to refer you to all my family and friends!!!"

I was charged with a very serious felony that would have not only landed me in prison for sure, but would have ended with me getting fired from my job. I found Mr. Bessant online and immediately after speaking with him he eased my fears and gained my trust. In short, my case was not only dismissed, but he fought tooth and nail with the prosecutors in court which helped to get these charges dropped. Im glad I found him and his fees were affordable. Thanks again Attorney, and I will be certain to refer you to all my family and friends!!!

"If anyone needs attorney help, don’t hesitate. call attorney Kevin Bessant. I would recommend him to everyone that I know."

I’m here to thank you, attorney Kevin Bessant. I got a solicitation charge in Detroit a few months ago. The type of this violation may sentence me up to 90 days of imprisonment and impose a $500 fine. One of the best decisions I made was called Mr. Bessant. He met me personally and gave me a free consultation and explained to me step by step. He was very professional and was communicating frequently with the status of my case. With his hard work and dedication for few months, my charges dropped down to a few hrs community work and one-year probation. If anyone needs attorney help, don’t hesitate. call attorney Kevin Bessant. I would recommend him to everyone that I know.

"You have made a difference for so many of us."

I contacted Kevin Bessant for help in regards to having a felony conviction set aside. After discovering there was an arrest record still showing up on my record for another incident that was dismissed, Mr. Bessant suggested having that arrest record destroyed along with having the felony conviction set aside. He assured me that it was very likely both would be possible and they were. He showed a deep understanding of the provisions that have recently changed and argued my case at the hearings and won. Mr. Bessant created strong arguments and produced the facts for the Judges who agreed and passed the motions. Now, I have a second chance to begin a career without being prejudiced for mistakes made almost ten years ago all in part to his professionalism and capability in the courtroom. He was persuasive, non-argumentative, and helped to create legal precedent for cases in the future. Also, Mr. Bessant’s fees are very reasonable and he was up front from the beginning about the cost. He avoids using the ambiguity that many lawyers use to make as much money as possible and achieved the results he could almost guarantee from the beginning. If you are considering having a conviction set aside you should check out his informative website and choose him to protect you from being misrepresented. I am so thankful I retained his services. Thank you so much Mr. Bessant for your hard work and honesty. You have made a difference for so many of us.

"He was extremely knowledgeable and promptly returned calls and emails, and reassured us every step of the way through our case, which was resolved quickly."

We contacted Kevin Bessant to help close out an old outstanding probation case. We did not live in Michigan anymore and didn’t know an attorney there. After searching online, we came across Kevin’s website and gave him a call. He responded to our call immediately and consulted with us prior to us hiring him. He was extremely knowledgeable and promptly returned calls and emails, and reassured us every step of the way through our case, which was resolved quickly. We made an excellent choice in hiring Kevin and would highly recommend him!

"If you need a criminal defense lawyer, I wouldn’t look any further than Kevin Bessant."

In what could have been an open and shut case against me by the prosecution Kevin Bessant was the best decision i made. I was facing felony drug and misdemeanor drug possession charges. Kevin was able to convince the prosecutor to drop the felony charge if i plead guilty to the misdemeanor charge. He was also successful in getting the judge to sentence me immediately so the process was not dragged out, and cost me more time missed from work. He was able to convince the judge for a light and fair sentence of 12 months probation, with a possibility of having it dropped to six months. Kevin worked with me on making payments and took my case with paying him only a fraction of his retainer fee upfront. He returned my phone calls almost immediately even before I had him retained. He talked me through each step and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He made me feel and my family that the best case scenario would be the result and he proved that to be true. If you need a criminal defense lawyer, I wouldn’t look any further than Kevin Bessant. Thank you Kevin Bessant!

"He made me and my family feel confident and relaxed in his abilities and the process ahead."

Mr. Bessant listen to my issues and informed me of what I was facing prior to hiring him. After retaining Mr. Bessant, he continued to be informative each step of the way. He made me and my family feel confident and relaxed in his abilities and the process ahead. My case was dimissed and all charges were droped. I highly recommend Mr. Bessant. Thank you sir.

"He was confident about what he did and most importantly held my confidence through the whole process."

Couldn’t of asked or a better attorney. He worked on a felony fraud case for my fiance. He worked with the prosecutor and got the sentence drastically dropped down and one charge completely dismissed. My fiance got a 90 day program when he was facing years. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept me in the loop the whole time. He returned calls and texts immediately. He was confident about what he did and most importantly held my confidence through the whole process. His rates are extremely reasonable for the work that he does. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal help.

"I will use him again if I ever have any legal issues."

I recently hired Mr. Bessant to handle a drug case for me he was sure he could get it dropped down and he did everything in his power to keep the felony off my record and he did. I will use him again if I ever have any legal issues.

"Best decision I could have ever made."

One of the best decisions I’ve made to this date was to hire attorney Kevin Bessant. When I first contacted Mr. Bessant on the phone and explained my situation he was very thorough and forthright. After being on the phone for nearly 45 seconds explaining my case he then took about ten minutes to describe some of the things that could occur if I went into court without legal representation. It was not a scare tactic nor a tactic used to pump out his chest and say hire me. He wanted me to have all of the information that I needed before hiring an attorney or deciding to choose him. I spoke with other attorney’s who made my situation sound like doom and gloom and if I hired them I would have the best representation. I never felt comfortable with the others I spoke with so I decided to go with Kevin. Best decision I could have ever made. Kevin was there the entire process. When I called, emailed or text he would get back with me in a timely fashion and explain what was going on with my case. When it was time to go to court Mr. Bessant was able to work with the local prosecutor and get my case reduced to where it wouldn’t go on my record and I didn’t have to go to jail. During the process, Kevin was always very professional, knowledgeable and honest about what I was facing. He truly did a great job the entire way and now and I can go ahead and concentrate on my life and not worry about the legal cloud that was over my head. In closing, I would recommend Kevin Bessant to anyone looking for a great defense attorney.

"He is simply the best!!"

I am a native Detroiter who moved out of state a few years ago and left behind a legal matter that turned into a warrant for my arrest. I thought that it would be in my best interest to hire an attorney in Michigan to handle my case. After retaining (2) different lawyers within (1) year of absolutely (0) results, I decided to sever my agreement with the second attorney and start all over again. After many calls and consultations, I found Kevin Bessant’s website and decided to contact him. From our initial conversation, I felt confident that he was quite knowledgeable of my type of case (unemployment benefits fraud) and knew exactly what steps to take to help me get it resolved. After retaining Attorney Bessant, he quickly got me a court date and arranged to have all of the court matters, such as the arraignment, pre-trial and sentencing to occur on the same day- which saved me the time and expense of traveling back to Detroit multiple times. Upon appearing in court and meeting him, I observed that he is very well-respected and “connected” in the courtroom. My case was satisfactorily resolved within 8 days of our initial conversation!!! I am so grateful to Mr. Bessant for being there for me at a time when I was literally in tears and in fear of entrusting another lawyer. His services are top-notch and he is a true professional and pleasure to work with. I sincerely and whole-heartedly give my highest recommendation of Attorney Bessant’s firm and legal services. He is simply the best!!
