Posted by anonymous | April 12, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Look No Further

The reason I originally hired Mr. Webb was not only the fact that he came highly recommended, but also the way he handled our consultation. He was extremely straightforward with me, and never guaranteed me any specific outcome, as many other attorneys tried to do. He simply guaranteed that he would w...ork diligently to get me the best possible outcome. Both John and his staff continually kept in touch with me, sending every piece of discovery and documentation along to me. He was very straightforward with his recommendations and the realities of the discovery. Even more importantly, he was incredibly patient and reassuring, helping to bring me through the most difficult time in my life. Throughout the court proceedings, it was clear that John was very well respected throughout the community. I believe it was this high level of respect, his diligent work, and his negotiation skills that afforded me an amazing outcome in a complicated case. I feel that there is no other attorney who could have provided a better result, and I will always recommend his firm for anybody who is pulled over under the suspicion of operating under the influence.

Sometimes you get lucky

And boy did I by going with Mr. Webb. I hired Mr. Webb to represent me in an OUI matter and his knowledge, prompt attention, and thorough disposition of my case were all above reproach. There's a reason why this man is the attorney other attorneys ask when stumped and you will make no better decision... than having him represent you.

Top Notch Attorney

I hired John twice to help with two different legal situations. He was outstanding in every regard for both cases. For one of the cases, we were led to believe it was hopeless, until we met John Webb. John much to my surprise took the case, and gave us hope. I know for a fact he worked over and ...beyond what he charged us for, and landed a very favorable result. You cannot get a more honest, hard working, knowledgeable, skilled lawyer than John Webb.

"I have known John Webb for years and I have referred dozens of clients accused of OUI in Maine to him. Attorney Webb is one of the very best lawyers I have ever come in contact with. If you get arrested in Maine I could not recommend Attorney John Webb more highly. He is intelligent, tenacious, and will fight to get you the best result possible. In an internet age where it is hard to tell who really does what, I can tell you from my personal experience of referring clients to Nichols and Webb for several years that there is only one call to make if you find yourself in trouble in Maine: Nichols and Webb."
