Bedrock Detroit and the Spirit of Detroit

Here in Detroit, many people will tell you finally, there seems to be a Renaissance happening; at least in the downtown area. The fringe of the City, in the neighborhoods, it is still very dangerous; children are shot dead nearly every week.

But we've got to start somewhere. This video presents quite a nice face on some of the positive things that are happening right now across our City.

Take a look...


This is the Spirit of Detroit on which we here at Motor City Law Blog prefer to focus. We cannot ignore the murder of children -because that problem must be addressed- but we can focus on the positive.

  1. I used Timothy p Flynn for criminal traffic. I found he lacked integrity as well as ethics. I wouldn't trust him too give me a glass of water! I was pulled over after being chased by an "OFF DUTY" police officer with "NO MARKINGS ON THE CAR OR FLASHING LIGHTS" in a soccer mom silver mini van and charged with reckless driving. I immediately retained tim he was always soliciting me in the liquor store I worked in (which soliciting clients in this form is illegal. You can only legally solicit a family member) . I asked to file a police report he told me not too? The officer was upset I passed a car using a turn lane that was driving erratically . Initially Tim Flynn made it out to be about what he's "Gonna do" but really Tim didn't genuinely care. I was appaled he would would consider even me to plea bargin careless driving. I made Tim aware I was threatened by the officer. The officer said comments "I was a punk kid who drives his moms car and if he ever sees me again he will arrest me and he is going to make sure I never drive again and not to expect the prosecutor to offer a deal because he the officer owns Oakland county." I even witnessed Tim shake hands with that very same officer when we were walking into the court room together. He told me to waive the jury trial months before and I kept telling him I do not feel comfortable with a non jury trial he told me again that he knows the Judge the prosecutor and the whole court as if it was a going to be a totally fake trial. I made it clear that I'm not plea bargaining and were not going to have a double standard no markings on the car, no flashing lights, and no video he understood. Tim didn't order a video of the stop of the officers that arrived at the scene (the threats were on video by him and the other officers) and not one time did Tim Flynn take the time to meet me at his office to discuss the case prior to trial for a serious misdemeanor. Looking back , a bench trial would never be a good idea but he was a master manipulator that prayed on me I was vulnerable our talks were only brief when he was buying boose. I agreed To have a fake trial over convincing 6 jurors why not? He sold me on the fact that he could meet them privately. It's my fault I didn't fire him when this attorney was engaging in illegal and unethical activity. A bench trial=a fake trial. He charged me $500 which looking back was too low for Tim Flynn to ethically spend the time needed on this case. He got really nasty with me when just before trial when he presented this plea bargain. He tryed bullying me into a plea bargain, which I told him again it's not what were doing here and I let him know I expected a jury trial and I expect to be fully compensated by him and I want the officer off the streets if he wants to proceed in a non jury trial in efforts to get Tim to resign. He said fine and we went into court and the prosecutor was still cross examining me to my surprise why didn't you file a police report? Have you ever been convicted of acts of dishonestly? No (I'm really not sure what's dishonest about being chased and threatened by an offduty police officer I thought) I didn't bother answering his questions because I already told Tim Flynn what happened and at this point I wasn't sure what to do but I was thinking hello Tim told me not too. I'm more upset with Tim Flynn then the officer himself that Tim put me in a one sided position. I thought maybe Tim could get me a jury trial later under a different judge or an appeal he also gave me the perception we could go to the judge and the prosecutors houses if we didn't do well or maybe he was going to tell the court files to trash the file were some of the powers he had but the ties he claimed to this but the perception he gave me from leasing a unit 6 feet from the court was all smoke in mirrors. Theirs not a day that goes by where I don't have a break down due to Tim Flynn did in a flashback of the incident!
