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.

THANKS AGAIN, JEFF

We have retained Jeff to represent our son on more than one criminal charge. Mostly dumb things that can be blown up to look really bad. Jeff has excellent knowledge of how to negotiate the legal system as well as the other professionals he deals with in the court. He also advocates well for our ...son. I hope we don't have to, but I would call Jeff again if the need arises.
