WARNING; EXTREME UNPROFESSIONALISM! I had such a negative experience with Ann-Marie Okros and was…read moreforced into a position of having to replace her because she was just so unprofessional. From being late, unprepared, and unresponsive, to finally stealing $3,000 from me after she basically forced me to switch attorneys. After some research I see from other reviews that my experience isn't uncommon. When you're fighting for your children or going through divorce you really need someone that's gonna fight for you. Ann-Marie barely showed up for me. If you want more frustration during one of the most trying times of your life, hire her to get ripped and get robbed. I've added more below. PLEASE READ FOR YOUR SAKE. Note; I don't believe in writing a bad review unless it's absolutely necessary. This is unfortunately necessary. I'm keeping this as brief as possible which means I'll be leaving out a ton of details but you'll get the gist of it. My experience with Ann-Marie as my attorney is far from positive. I had used her in the past and almost fired her because of lack of communication and to be quite honest, she comes off as extremely lazy, very unorganized, and terribly unresponsive. The ONLY reason I used her for this last hearing was because I had a credit on file with her firm of over $2,000 and she was already retained for my custody stuff. We jumped into a new motion for custody against me and it was same old, same old. She doesn't return calls, doesn't respond to emails promptly if at all, and it's extremely frustrating. She blew through the $2,000 credit in just a couple weeks and her invoices are "reviewed emails and worked on case". How does one blow through $2,000 in pay by reading emails? She hasn't even responded to them so, what on earth? Regardless, this is a fight for my children and she knows enough of the details and enough about my divorce that I really don't think it's a good idea to try to switch attoneys so I'm gonna white knuckle it. That was a big mistake. Very first hearing before the judge she comes in 10 minutes late, speed walking down the court hallway, hair is a mess, she's holding a stack of papers literally 10" thick, her outfit in shambles, papers flying, and eyes filled with panic. I'm looking at her literally embarrassed that this is my representation. Then she sits down next to me nearly out of breath and starts hounding me for information. I've sent her a ton of emails giving every detail, every account, tons of evidence, character letters, everything needed and now she's hounding me for information, showing clearly she hasn't "reviewed emails and worked on case" like her invoice claims. Ugh... We lost in court and I lost my kids, against false accusations and zero evidence. Hang in there cause it gets worse. We set an FOC (Friend of Court) hearing with a referee and get this reversed. I start preparing for this hearing and Ann-Marie is showing me a few signs of hope by actually responding to emails and answering calls, not consistently but enough to keep me hanging on. She sent me another invoice for $3,000 and reluctantly I paid her. BAM! Instance silence. She's got my money and immediately becomes unresponsive. There are other reviews out there describing her the same way. Unfortunately I read those reviews AFTER all this. So she's got my $3,000 and I can't get a peep out of her. I'm in the fight of my life for my children and she's gone silent. I need to know we have a plan, and know she received my email with my evidence and witness list and documentation and pertinent information but no response. In a move of desperation I did some research and hired another attorney. Literally the day I hire the other attorney, Ann-Marie calls me. Complete shocker because I wasn't even sure she was still living. I told her I retained another attorney AND SHE COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD! She told me she was sorry for not responding to my attempts of communication and she understood why I hired another attorney. She ADMITTED she dropped the ball on my case. The honesty was appreciated, but it gets worse. She refuses to give me a refund! After her admittance of guilt you'd think she'd agree and refund my $3,000. NOTE: This was money paid IN ADVANCE. She didn't send me a bill for services rendered but she was going to draw off that $3,000. That's how attorneys work. They get paid in advance. SHE COMPLETELY REFUSES THE REFUND! Even now, my case isn't closed because there were some hang ups and my ex refuses to sign the agreement, so i've offered her a chance to work off some of the $3,000 and she refuses to respond. I was hoping to give her a chance to redeam herself but she continues to demonstrate a serious lack of integrity. COMPLETE WASTE. Get in touch if you want more details. Erik Emery 231-649-7744

My wife and I recently worked with David Wakefield and his law office for our estate planning, and…read morewe couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met David, he made us feel completely comfortable and at ease with a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming. He took the time to get to know us, understand our needs, and explain every detail in a way that was clear and easy to understand. What really stood out was how personable and genuine David is -- it truly felt like he cared about helping us make the best decisions for our family. We spoke with a few other attorneys before finding David, and honestly, none came close to his level of professionalism, patience, and warmth. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise with a personal touch, we can't recommend David Wakefield and his team highly enough. He made what could have been a stressful process feel simple, smooth, and even enjoyable.

Her professionalism mixed with her realist approach to her trade was what won me over. She always called me back. Her office was very communicative. She went to bat for me on more than one occasion, once, she actually told the records devision who was harassing me about paperwork we had already provided them, to never call me again and direct all calls to her office. Amazing. She worked her butt off on my case. She won't BS you, won't string you along, she'll tell you how it is. She maxed out my case and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Unlike other larger firms, she's a trial lawyer. She has no problem rolling the dice in court, and has the backbone to prove it. Most lawyers in her industry are lazy. Take the first deal on the table. I'll tell you, NEVER take the first deal on the table. Honestly she came through on the 25th hour and locked it up like a pro. Don't hesitate to call her. If you got a winnable case, she'll do you solid.

I hired J Dallo, sold on his court "relationships" for a steep fee, expecting a fierce defense. Instead, I got a sham. I tracked down evidence myself while he sidestepped my urgent requests for body cam footage--proof of the officers' aggression and my calm restraint. He missed case law that proves under the law that stiffening isn't resisting, a fact A DIFFERENT attorney later flagged as a game-changer. Multiple in person meetings revealed his stunning unpreparedness; he barely knew my case. Seemed as if he never even looked at the police report/evidence. Then came his plea pitches: first a misdemeanor trade, then infractions with sneaky "criminal activity" wording I never agreed to. He pressured me to cave, boasting of his judge "friend," but it felt like he was working their side, not mine. The evidence screamed my innocence, yet he folded for a quick paycheck. Dallo's charm masks a hollow hustle--polite, pricey, and utterly ineffective. DON'T gamble your case on him. --Sammy

I feel compelled to share my outrage after dealing with this lawyer, as my experience was nothing…read moreshort of a disaster. This is my first negative review, and it's long overdue. This attorney is utterly incompetent and unprofessional, and it's infuriating how he operates without any sense of responsibility. From the very beginning, I expressed the complexity of my case and emphasized my need for strong representation as a newcomer to Michigan. Instead of providing the support I required, I was misled with false promises about reducing my OWI charge. What I got was a complete lack of effort and a shocking disregard for my situation. Throughout the entire process, communication was almost non-existent. I often found myself calling multiple times just to get a response. It felt like he was only interested in my money, showing no genuine concern for my case. At my arraignment, he showed up completely unprepared--wearing AirPods and distracted by a video call for another case! He didn't even bring my files, which was embarrassing and infuriating. At the day of my sentencing, I pointed out certain errors made in the police report, and his reaction goes to show me that he never reviewed the police report, nor did he review any recordings from the body cam. I basically just paid this guy to take a guilty plea and let the court deal with me. I basically gave this guy free money, and he charged me $5,500 for this case Despite my best efforts to comply with all requirements--attending AA meetings, maintaining an alcohol tether, and passing drug tests--he failed to present any of this during sentencing. He didn't advocate for me at all, leaving me feeling abandoned and betrayed. It was as if he didn't even bother to fight for my future. His argument wasn't strong at all, and it quite seemed like he was in cahoots with the court instead of fighting for me. In hindsight, I wish I had fired him and opted for a court-appointed lawyer instead. I likely would have received the same outcome without the exorbitant fees. This lawyer took my money and did absolutely nothing in return. If you value your case and want a lawyer who actually cares, do NOT hire this attorney. He lacks the skills, integrity, and professionalism necessary to represent clients effectively. I hope my review helps others avoid the same dreadful experience.
