CRIMINAL

Carol Kenaga re son Neil: Card dated 4/18/08... "I want to offer my gratitude to you and your staff for your representation of my son. Your website impressed me and I recommended that [he] contact your firm. Your [law clerk] was kind, considerate and responsive to our concerns and questions. We are, obviously, pleased with the outcome, crediting you with making the difference between dismissal and a conviction.

Ralph Kinney: In a note dated 3/05/07... "Thanks a million for your excellent legal representation. [My nephew] just had a baby daughter and really seems to be becoming a better person. Thanks for helping him down the road. You can count on us for a good recommendation anytime."

Michelle Bates: [no date] Note... "Thank you so much for everything you have done throughout the past year and a half. Thank you for helping me settle things before my move to China. It was such a relief to know everything was taken care of. I appreciate it more than I could ever say! Thank you, thank you, thank you."

From Imhoff & Associates June 2006 Newsletter: "Congrats to Shaun Willis in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His client was facing a felony warrant that had been issued four years ago and probation violations in Michigan. At the time she decided to turn herself in, in late 2005, she was living in Florida and that is when she was referred to our office. After discussing her personal situation with her Probation Officer and sharing the steps she had taken to turn her life around with the Judge that would be hearing her case, he arranged for her turn in. She was facing at least six months in jail, community service, and payment of fines. Mr. Willis was successful in his negotiations and the penalties were reduced to requiring payment of fines only! The probation violations were dismissed. The client was very pleased with the results."

Krista Prentiss: "I believe..."

CIVIL

Josh Gerlick: "Shaun is one of the most ethical and responsible individuals I know, and with his integrity, he brings the grit of a well-trained lawyer and litigator who can be counted upon to deliver superlative results in a compassionate way. I have had the pleasure of knowing Shaun (and, his brother, Michael) for a few years, and together they compose an unprecedented high plateau of yin and yang in the legal field. Shaun is able to make you laugh - how many can say that their lawyer can make them do that? He becomes a part of your extended family, which is probably his greatest curse... he cares. It doesn't matter whether you are a pro bono client, or paying him in full fare, he cares about who YOU are, as opposed to dwelling superfluously on the problem. In all likelihood, this is what sets him apart as a fantastic litigator. I guess it's all about whether someone cares. Shaun pours his heart and soul into his work, and that makes all the difference."

Kalamazoo Valley Family Church: "Thanks so much for the help with the closing of the Cathedral. Everything went smoothly."

Kelly Auction: Letter 8/27/07 from Attorney Robert R. Lennon... "Just a note to let you know how impressed I was with the professionalism of the Lake Doster auction. We have engaged in spirited adversarial negotiations in the past, but I felt compelled to express my admiration for your professional, imaginative and creative marketing of the numerous tracts of land around Lake Doster."

Peter Boult: Email to Michael Willis 3/30/07... "From the moment you answered my call way back when, Michael, I knew I had won the million. The secretary was not wrong when she said, "Isn't Michael Willis wonderful?"

Stanley Stepps: Email to Shaun Willis 05/09/06... "When [a colleague] mentioned needing to speak to a lawyer, Willis & Willis was the first to come to mind. You guys are most certainly the best and most ethical, grounded, and professional lawyers around and I recommend that [he] go to you for his [legal services]..."

Brian Vaerewyck: Email to Shaun Willis 10/18/05... "Thank you for doing such a fine job of helping us through this difficult situation."

OTHER

Martha Lohrstorfer, Law Librarian of the Kalamazoo Public Library, following a Pro Bono Clinic: "I don't think there are the right words to adequately thank you for the incredible service you provided on Friday [March 24, 2006]. You literally changed lives! The people you saw had no resources, and no hope of any help. You were there for them. Everyone felt valued and respected. Everyone left satisfied and understanding what was going on and what they needed. There is no price on that. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all!"
