Posted by Dawit | March 13, 2024 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Great Lawyer

I decided to hire Mr. Bartlett for my DWI case after he was referred to me by multiple people as I searched for an attorney. I am so happy I did. He was always reachable and got back to me within minutes. First, we had a DMV refusal hearing with the DMV court which he was remarkably able to get dism...issed !!!! This was huge for me because no matter the outcome of the DWI case my license would’ve been suspended for a year. Next after months of going back and forth and the prosecution not offering me a favorable deal we decided to go to trial. During the trial, Mr. Bartlett was outstanding and got the CASE DISMISSED !!! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Bartlett.

Thank You Mr. Bartlett

I went to Mr. Bartlett with a case I thought not easily winnable. Mayo is extremely knowledgeable and he spoke to me in ways that made it easy for me to understand the complicated legalities of the case. He listened to what I had t...o say and he was always there to answer my calls and questions promptly. it was clear to me from the time I met Mayo that he is a caring, non-judgemental person who made me feel optimistic about my case and i always felt he had my best interest in mind. The courts decision was in my favor due to the efforts and expertise of Mayo and his team. Thank You Mr. Bartlett and team.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
