Hired Attorney

After 24 yrs working in the legal field, Mr. Poniewierski was easily my first choice for representation in a criminal matter. He offers expertise, efficiency & clear communication. I couldn't recommend anyone in Wayne Cty more expierianced for a civil or criminal matter.

Divorce

Hired Attorney

James was paid $2,500, on 1/13/26, as partial retainer to start work on a divorce in Lapeer County. Unfortunately, he disappeared following the, “I agree” to representation email. He didn’t return phone calls or emails, he made no contact with the courts and didn’t address a time sensitive response letter, all details that are verifiable. His office number is now disconnected. This has turned into a nightmare and James should be ashamed of himself. 3/14/26 and I’m still fighting to get my money back.
