Excellent DMV Specialized Criminal Attorney

Jonathan helped me get my license back on 8/14 through litigation with the DMV and their extensive process. Jonathan is extremely thorough and we'll knowledged in his field. I look forward to Jonathan assisting me in the future to remove an inter lock device which is indefinitely installed in my vehi...cle since 8/14 due to my unique case I had to plea to in 8/2010. I highly recommend Jonathan, he is a top rated specialty attorney in his field. He puts his clients first and very easy to work with.

Confidence and reassurance you can count on!

I hired Jonathan Sills based on an online search as well for a possible 2nd conviction DUI. He was the first attorney I spoke with and he encouraged me to shop around, but I knew just then that he was the one. He's a very stand up individual and is very responsive to all inquires. I was facing a 2n...d conviction DUI with a penalty of 120 days incarcerated and a felony conviction because of it. After extensive research, Attorney Sill's was able to challenge the legality of the stop and have it reduced to a 1st conviction with 10 days incarcerated which ended up in a misdemeanor rather than a felony and I was able to keep my job. I truely believe he handled this case with the upmost professionism and was able to get me the best deal with the prosecutor he could have. He was available to me every step of the way and still encourages me to contact him with free advice any time! I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone in a tough situation who is worried about their future. He saved mine! -Ryan CT-

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
