Detroit, MI
February 23, 2026 Kevin Bessant defended my 25-year-old grandson and his godmother in an assault and battery case in the city of Livonia. The judge was dirty the detective was dirty the Livonia Police were dirty and the prosecutor was dirty. My grandson and his godmother went up against an all white jury of 6 men and women. Even though my grandson and his godmother did not initiate the altercation, the white couple did, it didn't matter to the judge. The judge instructed the all white male and female jurors that they could not consider assault and battery as a defense when deliberating to convict my grandson and his godmother. It look like it was going to be a sure thing for them to serve time for an assault they did not initiate. BUT GOD!!! Would have the last say. Every roadblock the prosecutor and the judge through in front of Kevin, God showed Kevin how to navigate around those roadblocks. God used the plaintiffs Witnesses who did the assault and who were supposed to be the prosecutors witnesses as well God used them against the prosecutor and the witness. A trial that the judge said he would give two days to be litigated decided to change it to one day he rushed the trial. He gave the jurors instructions. at 5:40 they left the courtroom to deliberate and within 20 minutes at 6:00 p.m. they had a verdict: NOT GUILTY!!! Kevin's closing arguments to the jurors were impactful and these Six White jurors saw right through the dirty judge the dishonest prosecutor and Detective. There are still white people who are tired of the racism and these people saw through the lies. I am very proud of Kevin I was extremely impressed with his defense and I recommend him highly to anyone who is looking for a defense attorney he was calm collected and patient Please let me state that we had fired two attorneys who did not believe in my grandson's innocence before retaining Kevin. Kevin was affordable and worked with my family as far as retaining him
Donna, thank you for sharing this and for trusting our office during such a stressful case. I’m glad Kevin’s calm, patient approach, strong closing argument, and steady navigation through the trial helped your grandson and his godmother reach the not guilty verdict. We also appreciate you noting that we were affordable and worked with your family on retaining him.
I’ve needed a criminal defense attorney twice—both times I chose Kevin Bessant, and both times he delivered beyond expectations. He didn’t just represent me—he changed outcomes. He negotiated deals that kept convictions off my record, got a felony reduced to a misdemeanor, secured a sealed case, and when I was facing a probation violation tied to new allegations, he stepped in and got my probation fully reinstated under the exact same conditions. In my most recent case, he took it even further—negotiating a delayed sentence with minimal conditions, no jail time, and ultimately no conviction on my record. Kevin’s knowledge, strategy, and courtroom presence are on another level—the kind you only expect to see on TV. If you want someone who knows how to win and protect your future, this is your guy. If you’re serious about your defense, hire Kevin Bessant. No question. Now it’s on me to stay out of trouble.
Thanks. Appreciate the review!

Mr. Bessant NEVER let me, my son and my sister feel discouraged from the beginning. I felt so at ease with placing this case in his hands and letting him DO HIS JOB!!! I thank you for your hard work and now allowing us to go on living with "this" stress (case) off our back. I'm not afraid to say we cried tears of joy over the NOT GUILTY verdict. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE.
Greene, thank you for trusting our office with your case and for sharing your experience. I’m glad Kevin was able to keep you and your family encouraged and at ease throughout the process, and we’re honored to have helped you reach that not guilty verdict and put this stress behind you.
My family is so pleased with Mr. Kevin Bessant's work. He was FEARLESS handling this case in "LIVONIA" when other lawyers were WORRIED and wished the incident happened in another city suggesting we cop to plea's before even having all the facts! (Assult and battery) #NOTGUILTY 🙏
Chris, thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re glad Kevin could step in confidently, take the time to understand all the facts, and fight hard for your family in Livonia instead of rushing to a plea. We truly appreciate your trust in our office.
Mr. Bessant is an expert at what he does! He definitely knows how to defend his client to the utmost and with every fiber of himself. He will fight tooth and nail to show compassion as well. The odds were stacked against me in every way but, Kevin strategically laid out the best plan for me & took his time! Thank you so much Mr. Bessant I truly recommend & will refer you to any and everyone lol!
Thank you, Chantell, for the kind words and recommendation. I’m glad we were able to build a strong strategy together and that you felt supported with both a tough defense and genuine compassion throughout your case. We truly appreciate your referrals.<br>
Kevin was a great lawyer. He got my sentence reduced and got me a fair verdict.
Thank you so much, Adam! I'm glad that we were able to serve you reach a favorable outcome. Your trust in our team means a lot to us and we definitely appreciate you as a client.
Kevin is a very skilled attorney. He is very articulate and knows his stuff. When choosing an attorney for criminal defense, it’s always wise to choose someone who focuses solely on that skill set. Kevin is only a criminal defense attorney so you don’t have to worry about him only being partially knowledgeable. He knows the players in Wayne County very well and Was able to achieve the desired results in our matter. I thank God for someone who is honest and compassionate. You can’t go wrong with hiring Mr. Bessant
Thank you so much for your kind words, J B. I'm delighted to hear that you appreciated Kevin's expertise and dedication to criminal defense. We always strive to offer honest and compassionate representation, and it’s great to know that you felt confident and supported throughout your case.
Hands down, the best money we’ve ever spent. Kevin worked absolute miracles. He took what looked like a 20-year mountain and turned it into a 3-year hill, and that was just incredible. He kept us in the loop every step of the way, was super responsive, and just made us feel totally confident that he was working hard on our behalf. Worth every single penny. And honestly, as long as he’s in business, he’ll be the first person we call for anything our family ever needs legally. We trust him that much.
Thank you very much and glad we were able to help!

I’m extremely grateful for the outstanding service I received from Attorney Kevin Bessant. From day one, he brought a sense of confidence and clarity to a situation that had caused me stress for years. He was thorough in reviewing my case, honest about my options, and incredibly efficient in handling everything from start to finish. He went to bat for me with the Attorney General’s office. He made the impossible, possible. What I appreciated most was how approachable and easy to talk to he was. He never made me feel rushed and he truly listened and took the time to make sure I understood the process. Because of his dedication and expertise, my expungement was granted, in Oakland County and I finally feel like I can move forward without my past holding me back. If you’re looking for a trustworthy attorney who gets results and treats you with respect, I highly recommend Kevin Bessant.
Thank you very much for the review!

From the very beginning, Kevin was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the legal process and were always available to answer my questions. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my case was resolved successfully, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Kevin Bessant!
Thank you and much appreciated!
Thank you for your help with bringing my dad back! Your guidance, knowledge and overall support reunited our family! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for the review and glad I could help. I wish you all the best!
Attorney Bessant is incredible. He is diligent and doesn’t back down. Through my case he has been communicative, knowledge, patient, understanding, and fierce. Answers day or night. We are almost to the end and without Kevin I’m not sure id be in as good of a position as I am. Highly recommend. He is simply the best when it comes to representation for criminal matters. Would never recommend anyone else! Always always will recommend Kevin to anyone having the unfortunateness of dealing with criminal matters in Michigan!
Thank you very much and appreciate it!
