DWI (Durring Covid-19)

Back in October I was getting ready to move cities and picked up a DWI. I know someone that had used Mr Splain’s services in previous years so I gave him a call. What made things very difficult was me moving around so much for my job, Mr Splain was more than happy to work with my schedule and stayed ...up on appointments and any funds that needed to be received. To be short, the process was long (as expected) and at times as the client you feel helpless and left in the dark. I can say in full confidence that Mr Splain is the only lawyer I would go to if you get into a legal pinch involving DWI. I am no passed the trial and the result was having almost everything dropped or reduced to the minimum. My employment with my job stays current and I can continue to finish school without the worry of a DWI on my record. Thank you Mr Splain for the legal work and attentiveness to my case.

Fear not! Hire Tom Splain

I got a DWI while in NY for a family medical emergency. I live in Las Vegas! Tom showed up to every court appearance as the best prepared lawyer in the court room. He got me a plea deal that other attorneys told me could not ever happen. End result: no felonies or misdemeanors and ready to go back ou...t west!

Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 19

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Tom for over 20 years, was an adversary as a top-level prosecutor in the Monroe County District Attorneys Office and is now a colleague on the defense bar. Tom is unequivocally one of the most respected attorneys in Western NY. He works tirelessly for his clients. I have worked together with him on complex criminal litigations several times and with each, I am more impressed by his knowledge of the law, ability to decipher often confusing statutes and communicate such to his clients. There is no other attorney I could recommend more earnestly."
