Outstanding and professional

Since the day Mr. Jowdy and his team generously accepted my case, I was reassured by their confidence and proficiency. They resolved my traffic ticket expeditiously and lifted a hefty burden off my shoulders.

Jeff Jowdy, excellent attorney

I was very happy with the outcome of my case, Jeff was there every step of the way and made it very manageable. I only had to appear for court a couple times, and the case was resolved quickly. I highly recommend Mr. Jowdy for any legal case big or small.

Like a good lawyer, Jeff Jowdy's there

I was referred to Jeff after searching through some of the more popular local "bus stop ad" lawyers in the area, and I'm glad that happened. Off the bat, I didn't know my rear-end from a hole in the ground with the DUI charges I was facing. From the start of the process, which was extremely upset...ting because of the uncertainty of my future, I felt comfortable whenever I dealt with Jeff. Jeff never promised me pie-in-the-sky outcomes, he told me the reality of my charges and most likely outcomes if I followed his advice; advice, when followed, that served me well. In any legal case, if the attorney cannot provide some mental relief from the stress, its gonna be a rough time for you, especially when the cards are stacked against you. I felt that Jeff was on my side at all times. He wasn't going to let me be railroaded by anyone during the process, and when you feel down and out thats a great feeling. Knowing that Jeff was local and had seen many cases like mine and worse, I felt confident that he would not let me down in the court room. Jeff did not let me down. His familiarity with the courts and their personnel is a huge plus, and his likability and genuine knowledge speaks for itself in the courtroom. As a client, you don't want a stranger to the court defending you. You need an experienced, local attorney speaking on your behalf. As a client, you need a friend, and Jeff Jowdy is that man.

You are in good hands with Jeff

I knew that I had made a mistake, and was ready to pay for it. Since the first phone call to Jeff to the moment we parted ways in the court room, Jeff was extremely courteous, non judgmental, and made me feel as comfortable as I could throughout the whole ordeal. I know that I would be in a much to...ugher situation had he not been in my corner. Everything basically panned out the way that he said they would, which was always very reassuring. I will always be grateful for having Jeff represent me in my darkest hour. I don’t think it is possible to find any representation better then Jeffrey Jowdy, he is a true professional.
