In July of 2016 I hired Ms. Baxter to defend my son who was facing multiple charges after stopping his bipolar medication. She was able to get several of the charges dropped so that he's able to get the help he needed rather than go to jail to become another statistic. I will always be grateful for the time and care Ms. Baxter showed both myself and my son during this terrifying time.

The penalties for being convicted of a drinking related driving offense in Michigan are severe and include expensive fines, costs, and fees to both the court and the Secretary of State; jail time, the loss of your driver's license, the loss of your car insurance; and often the loss of your job, any future jobs; and a lifetime criminal conviction on your criminal record.
Minor in Possession (or MIP) is not a simple charge anymore. A conviction for MIP will appear on any background check or security clearance. A second or multiple convictions for MIP will result in enhanced and more serious consequences, including the loss of driving privileges. Negotiating and securing first offender treatment under the MIP statute is often a complicated process.

My family and I hired Judith Baxter in August of 2015 to assist with an incident involving my younger sister. Judith answered our phone call and immediately scheduled an appointment to meet with us that same week! She was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the entire process. We felt very comfortable and safe while working with her.
She prepared us very well for what was going to happen and what could happen. She explained how the interviewer would behave and what type of questions she could possibly ask our family. We never felt pressured while working with her and she showed commitment
