About Jim A

Jim A Kolosowsky runs a solo practice in Michigan. He advocates for clients in courtroom hearings and on appeal. His practice mixes trial work and appellate legal proceedings, and he handles cases that move between both levels of the state system.

Kolosowsky prepared for that path at Grand Valley State University, the place he finished a B.S. in Criminal Justice in 1990. He persisted his legal research at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School, completing a J.D. software that included coursework in felony regulation and litigation. Those academic choices set the stage for a profession spent in large part in criminal defense and appellate matters.

Over time Kolosowsky has moved between private practice and roles that connect him to Michigan’s appellate system. He is a member of the Criminal Defense Lawyers of Michigan and is currently related to the State Appellate Defender’s Office. Those affiliations mirror continuous involvement in each trial-degree defense and appellate briefing.

He opened The Law Offices of Jim Kolosowsky to centralize his practice. As proprietor he manages client intake, legal strategy and court work. He handles arraignments, motions, plea bargaining sessions and trials, and follows instances through the appellate process when necessary. The workplace takes criminal cases in Michigan courts and prepares the records and briefs needed for appeals.

Clients come to Kolosowsky for counsel in felony things that require an experienced litigant at the courthouse and a careful author for appellate briefs. He is known amongst peers for regularly handling the procedural steps that carry a case from trial to attraction. He additionally consults on motions and procedural submit-conviction work when those matters occur.

Outside of casework he stays engaged with fellow defense attorneys thru bar-associated groups and defender offices. That connection maintains him current on changes in felony procedure and appeals practice throughout the state. He now practices criminal defense and appellate work thru The Law Offices of Jim Kolosowsky.
