Peace of Mind

Richard was by my side every step of the way, something the larger firms cannot offer. He was very knowledgeable about the DWI process and explained everything that would happen in the justice system and the DMV. Facing charges in the #1 county for DWI convictions and a strong case against me, Richar...d was able to reduce my sentencing to the minimum sentence allowed by law. He kept me out of jail, off probation, and I was able to drive with a conditional license. He quickly answered any questions I had. I was able to live a somewhat normal life as I knew Richard was taking care of the problem. The best advice I can give anyone in my position would be to hire Richard. He has years of experience, affordable, and he can give you the peace of mind that is desperately needed during such a stressful time.

He's an awesome attorney!!! I highly recommend him

I offer the highest possible recommendation for Mr. Richard dever to represent anyone that requires a Row attorney…He was always available for questions and answered all inquiries. He goes the distance for his client and explains everything in detail no matter how big or small. Mr. Dever thinks and... acts accordingly “on his feet” in and out of the courtroom. I am truly grateful for his knowledge as I witnessed this first-hand during a recent dwi case he represented me in.

Would Recommend

Me. Dever was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the whole DUI process. He was always available to talk and he got my charges down.
