Alan Peyrouton is the way to go

Boy did I pick the right lawyer. What really got me to choose him as a lawyer to represent me in my DUI case was that even before I even went into the office he took his personal time to have a detailed telephone conversation with me about the charges I faced. The first day that I actually went into ...his office, he welcomed me with open arms. What I liked was that he made me and my MOTHER feel comfortable and confident that he was the best choice to defend me in court. I faced multiple charges that would pretty much get my license taken away for good. He was able to ease my nerves and tell me possible outcomes he would fight for.He made me feel like he had my best interest at heart and he seemed passionate to do his best to try and help me.

He Saved Me from a Terrible Mistake I was About to Make

Alan saved me from a terrible immigration mistake I was about to make. I had met a girl from another country and after a few months we began talking about marriage. We had come up with a cockamamie plan to try to bring her here on a tourist visa. The first thing Alan said was, 'I can't work on som...ething like that because it's not honest. You are thinking about marrying her and that's not what a tourist visa is for.' I hadn't really thought about it that way, but he was right. But I thought it was the only way to get her here. (She's form a country where it's not easy to get to America). Then he explained to me how doing it on the up and up was not only the honest and legal way to do it but it was the only way that would actually work. He showed me how if we had gone for my (idiotic) tourist visa plan and it didn't work, that not only would she not be able to get here on a tourist visa, she would never be able to get here on a fiance visa either. As he told me all this while I was sitting in his office I wasn't convinced he was giving me the best advice because I was so sold on the dumb plan we had come up with. But when I left his office and began to think about what he had said, I realized he was absolutely right. There was no reason to jeopardize her chances of eventually getting here by trying to shortcut the system. So two lessons here. Forget about all the so-called free "legal advice" you can find online. We non-lawyers can be too easily fooled into thinking these people actually know what they're talking about. They don't! Hire a real attorney! And two, find an honest attorney like Alan who's not going to cut corners. It'll save you a ton of headaches down the line. I really appreciate Alan for the excellent advice and for saving us from my own bad plan.
