I am incredibly grateful for this firm and the way they handled my case. From the start, they were thoughtful, steady, and truly attentive. When things felt overwhelming, they brought calm and clarity, and I always felt like I was in capable hands.
They took the time to really understand the situation, stayed focused on the facts and the law, and protected me when it mattered most. Communication was clear and timely, and I never felt dismissed or rushed. Their professionalism and care made a genuinely difficult situation feel manageable.
If you’re looking for a law firm that combines skill, integrity, and real compassion for their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
Jamal and Jack: thank you for everything. ❤️

Mr. Jamal Harris took my case over about a year ago, right in the middle of a bunch of chaos, and it was an absolute mess. He dove in head first, and him taking over was truly the best thing that could’ve happened for me.
My situation involved a very nasty, stressful case that at times felt impossible, but Mr. Harris never fell short. He never made me feel embarrassed and always made me feel reassured, always returned my calls HIMSELF, and always took the time to talk with me directly so I understood what was happening. He’s a good and honest man who isn’t afraid to actually do the leg work for his clients.
When I felt like there was no end in sight, he fought for me, and we ended up with a huge WIN! I genuinely could not recommend him more!

Unfortunately, our experience with Attorney Harris was deeply disappointing due to their lack of professionalism, inadequate knowledge of the law, and failure to fairly represent us. I requested a call from the owner over a week ago and he never called.

Mike Smith handled my case with professionalism and provided me with outstanding results. He was always available to answer my questions and concerns. He really put me at ease throughout this difficult process.
Mike Smith answered all my questions with great clarity and patience. He kept me informed every step of the way, which really gave me peace of mind. He was engaging and creative in his approach to my case and came up with solutions that tipped the scales in my favor. I am very pleased with his services and highly recommend his law firm.
Let me just say, I do NOT know why all THESE PEOPLE are so negative about this firm! Maybe it's because THEY didn't get the outcome THEY wanted on their cases, wouldn't pay their invoices or court costs, or THEY did something they shouldn't have to cause their cases to derail (meaning to prevent a plan or process from succeeding)? I honestly do not know. Also, why are there all these reviews for Clickstream on here??! Those reviews have nothing to do with this Law Firm, that I'm aware of. This Firm has been nothing but RESPONSIVE and COMMUNICATIVE to me and my family. I have ALWAYS been taken care of as a CLIENT, and they have always returned my calls and emails. I understand that there are delays and complications with cases sometimes. I also understand that Lawyers working on cases have NO SAY in the OUTCOME of a TRIAL. That is up to the Judge and Court system! There is NEVER any guarantee that ANYONE will get what THEY WANT as an outcome. This Firm is AMAZING and I wouldn't go anywhere else, for any legal issues, whether it be Adoptions, Criminal, Civil, or any other type of case! Mr. Smith and the Lawyers that work for him are AMAZING, and the STAFF is extremely RESPONSIVE and PROFESSIONAL. Thank you for being the BEST LAWYERS AND STAFF in Michigan!
Unfortunately my experience with this law firm was a nightmare. Nothing was done that we spoke about prior to retaining the firm. I paid the retainer and was ghosted no communication at all. Had a different lawyer that didn’t know anything about my case show up. Nothing filed on my behalf that should have. I went 3 months without seeing my kid for no reason other than my lawyer not filing a motion with courts. The only time I would hear anything from the firm was to discuss when I was paying more money. Single mom of 3 I didn’t have the luxury to just fire and get a new lawyer. I don’t recommend especially if it’s family court and your kids are involved. I hope this helps others before hiring this firm.
Mr. Smith and his team went above and beyond to help me. I couldn’t be more thankful for the time and care they gave. The dedication they have has changed my life.
