A breathalyzer result just over 0.08, handcuffs, and court the next day. The client was already imagining three months in jail and considering walking in to plead guilty—until they called me at four in the morning.
Hear directly from them about what changed after that call.
Clear Direction When It Mattered Most
Fear had filled in the blanks before the client had a chance to understand what would actually happen. As they put it, “I had imagined the worst.”
I told them they could walk into that courtroom, say “Not guilty,” and let me handle everything else. That clear direction changed how they approached the next day. When anxiety hit later that night—a late-night text about a panic attack—I was there. “I felt such relief,” they said.
The case resolved with a fine and community service. No loss of driving privileges. Their final words say it best: “I’m so grateful.”
What This Case Reflects About How I Work
Criminal accusations move fast and leave little room for uncertainty. I give every client a straight answer about their options and stay available when questions come up—whether that’s during business hours or at four in the morning.
