Showing 1 - 1 of 1 review | DUI & DWI

Posted by anonymous | January 29, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Criminal Defense at its finest

In the event that one encounters any form of criminal charges, their life as they know it, no longer consists of daily liberties that they have long been accustomed to. The consequences of being arrested can result in convictions that promise long-term consequences. For example, if you have been char...ged with a crime, such as DUI, assault, weapon possession; car seizures and/or a property crime like home invasion; embezzlement and/or theft, a jail sentence is all but inevitable, unless, of course, you have retained JAY SCHWITZMAN to represent your criminal case. Over approx. 20 years, unfortunate circumstances have risen in my personal family that required the impeccable expertise of Jay Schwitzman. I can attest to a minimum of 15 cases that Mr. Schwitzman has tried that were destined for long term jail time but were ruled in the decision of ZERO JAIL TIME!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
