  • I recommend Jon Pettis.
  • I hired Jon 1-3 years ago.
  • Jon handled my DUI / DWI matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

I was facing my third DUI in four years. I was sure I was going to jail for a long time. I hired Jon and he found flaws in the police conduct that led to the case being dismissed. He saved my job, my family and almost my life. Thanks!
