In June of 2018, I found myself charged with an OWI, high BAC, and possession of marijuana. Having only had one previous charge/conviction, and one that was fairly minor (an MIP), I was in a complete panic. I called the office of Mary Chartier and Takura Nyamfukudza on a Sunday, and received a call back promptly the following Monday. I was able to speak to Mary, who put me in contact with Takura. I was very impressed with the speediness of the initial contact, as well as the speediness of the following communications as my case went on. Besides receiving suggestions on what I should be doing while awaiting my sentencing, I also received a great deal of encouragement and positivity from Takura, reducing my stress greatly.

Takura drove to Petoskey (where my charges were incurred) for each court date and was extremely comforting and supportive during the process. He was able to have the high BAC charge dropped, the possession of marijuana charge was dropped due to my possession of a medical marijuana license, and during sentencing, I received NO probation, and only had to pay a fine! I was absolutely thrilled, and he shared in my excitement with a big bear hug outside of the courtroom. By the end of the ordeal, I felt I had made a friend, and had not simply hired an attorney. Throughout the process, I received a condolences card from the office when a family member passed, as well as a birthday card. All of this meant very much to me; when one is already beating themselves up for a foolish decision that landed them in jail and at the wrong end of the law, feeling so much kindness and support truly helps, and this office delivered that kindness and support and then some.

Three months after the fact, I am still dealing with issues regarding the suspension of my driver license as a result of refusing the roadside breathalyzer. Takura has been in contact with me on a regular basis, and though my license was supposed to be suspended for one full year, with his help I now have a restricted license and am able to get where I need to go. I cannot recommend Takura and his office strongly enough.

Mary,
I’m so grateful every day to have you as my attorney and fighting for me.

You are by far the best lawyer I've had. You are fearless and have no problem raising "Novel Legal Arguments". That is the sign of a true Jurist. When I grow up I want to be just like you!!!!

Takura,
Thank you again for your support and professionalism. We all so appreciate your representation. Sincerely!

Mary,
I wanted to take a minute to write a quick thank you note. The brief was incredible. It is the best I have ever read. I would like to thank your entire staff for the investigation, road work and detailing. I would like to especially thank Lizzy. I know she worked tirelessly on it.

Finally, I would really like to thank you for your insight into my case. I could tell you read everything and gave more insight than I could have ever imagined. Once again, thank you all.

Mary,
Thank you so so much for all your help and hard work. I cannot express how much your help means to me and my family.
Thank you.

Mary,
I cannot say thank you enough for your time, concern and thoughtfulness.

Thanks Mary!!!
I appreciate you.
So, Thank you so very much!!
I'm In debt to you for Life.
Once over, Thanks!!

I found myself in a legal situation that I never, ever thought I’d be in. I initially called an attorney I know but found out he was retiring so he referred me to the Chartier & Nyamfukudza firm. I initially talked to Mary Chartier and she didn’t believe I had done anything wrong but the system was failing me. Guilty until proven innocent is how I felt. I have never been under so much stress. I then talked and met with Takura Nyamfukudza who ended up being my attorney. Takura had a hand in handling issues and reviewing my file along the way. I entered into an agreement with C&N of what’s called the precharge stage. Because of his hard work and compassion and understanding, my stress level did go down, and my situation ended up having no charges against me. Takura was on it every step of the way and I can’t thank him enough. That phone call and e-mail that said it was over and no charges brought was the best news ever. And I can proudly say that I can spell and pronounce Takura’s name now!

Thanks to all of you!

Mary,
Great job today. I was really proud of you. Thank you for fighting so hard for my brother - so much that the judge recognized your passion. It was an honor to meet the team.
