Worry free process!

Contacted and eventually hired Mr. Dennis Dowd to help me with my DWI case in NY. Was on my way to relocate to a different state for a job offer when I made this careless mistake. After searching and contacting a number of lawyers in NY, I was fortunate enough to come across Dennis. After the prelimi...nary phone call we scheduled a one on one meeting at his office. Since I was moving in a couple of weeks, I had to find someone who would really take my case and work on it. He was forward enough to tell me what my predicament was and the possible scenarios that could happen. Assured me that even though we'd be pretty much contacting one another either by email, text messages or phone call, that he'd reply to my queries (which he did within a reasonable time) and work for a resolution. Had to appear on court with him only once and he took care of the nitty gritty stuff after that. To cut the long story short, Mr Dowd was successful in reducing my offense to a misdemeanor. Would highly recommend him since he is a professional and a true gentleman who would as in my case work for his clients.

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.
